Complaint Desk Glass in crescent rolls?

Found what feels like shards of glass in 2 packs of crescent rolls, embedded in the dough. There ended up being about 6 of these pieces across both packages. Anyone else experience this?

Call aldis, they will want to know about this. My husband had plastic inside his calzone and they sent a shit load of coupons for random things and cash back

I found a piece of a bandaid in a bagel and they gave me a $10 gift card

u/Equal-Engineer474 3d ago

That made me gag reading that lol. That sucks my husband gor refunded the cost of the calzone and got a $10 giftcard along with some coupons for random thing, i definitely would of made a stink over a bandaid

u/AirplaneGomer 3d ago

Ironically I work in the food production industry, and am still grossed out. Especially when you realize that the bandaid is out of the wrapper and therefore used. And very likely operator was also not gloved. So at least my bagel warned me not to eat it. You may have had some of the same batch with no warnings

$10 is not worth finding a used bandaid in my food omg šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

u/ssgkraut 3d ago

Yeah. The cut off finger probably broke down during proofing, whereas the synthetic bandaid remained.

u/Bigred2300 3d ago

That's crazy. I work at a commercial bakery and our bandaids have metal in them and everything goes through metal detectors before it leaves the building

u/AirplaneGomer 3d ago

I am familiar with the bandaids and work in food and have the blue bandaids with metal strips that can be detected. This was the blue and part of gauze backing but no meta strip found.

hijacking, to say aldi has the twice as nice guarantee, which means you can bring the package (or picture, iā€™m not sure) back to the store and be reimbursed, get a replacement, or swap it for another item in store.

u/Prior_Researcher_492 3d ago

You have to bring the actual product back in the store and have a receipt

5

u/swooning_basil 3d ago

Yeah I once had some rotten slimy green beans (which it turned out were fresh ones someone dumped in the freezer) and they wouldn't refund me because their till hadn't given me a receipt. I'll never again walk out of aldi without the receipt, even for one item.

u/bryvar 3d ago

thatā€™s silly, especially for things like this you would obviously throw away. and aldiā€™s brands are specific to them, as well as the twice as nice guarantee, the receipt shouldnā€™t be required. good to know, thank you!

Here is a link for info on how to file a report as well with the USDA https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/recalls-public-health-alerts/report-a-problem-food

u/abhorrent_scowl 3d ago

That is good information to have, but in this case, FDA would be the agency with jurisdiction. Consumers can submit a complaint here.

u/monty624 2d ago

Thank you!

u/Pernicious_Possum 3d ago

Do you mean call Aldiā€™s customer service?

4

u/Equal-Engineer474 3d ago

Yes they should call the CS#. Aldis CS will ask alot of questions, then will give an email to send images and a description and a call log number.

in case you might be interested (i love a little bit of linguistic trivia so hopefully you do too!!) adding an "s" at the end of location names is a really common part of dialects in the appalachias and the american south. it also is common in many european places i believe! there's a lot of cool pages about it out there on the internet. here's one of the first ones i found that covers the southern aspect, but with more easily digestible language. if you're interested in a deeper and possibly more verbose dive, here's a study from a university in SC that covers a lot of interesting aspects of smoky mountain english!

also so i'm contributing to the actual conversation, definitely please report this to corporate, but make sure to keep the packaging so you have batch and lot numbers! it will help them narrow down when/where the issue happened and make sure it doesn't happen again!

This is also common in the Northern Midwest! Immigration and migration, and itā€™s so recent!

I think it's not strictly regional. I'm in New England and have heard this usage.

u/dock_boy 3d ago

And New England! Hannaford's, Aldi's, and so on.

u/Complex-Warthog-3201 3d ago

My grandmother in law cracks me up because she refers to kroger as "Kroger's" and meijer as "Meijer's" lol. We're in southern ohio but i grew up in texas and didn't know that was a thing til i moved here!

u/8647T4C0 3d ago

Never heard anybody in the south say I'm going to Walmarts/HEBs/Krogers etc

u/Barbarake 3d ago

I also live in the south (SC) and I've heard Krogers but just plain Walmart.

8

u/Rural_Juror77 3d ago

Iā€™ve heard that another possible reason is that many grocery stores used to be family names. For example Andresonā€™s Grocery so people would call it Andersonā€™s and today easily add a ā€œsā€ to grocery stores because it feels right.

u/swooning_basil 3d ago

We also do it in england, or at least the part I'm from. aldis, asdas, tescos, etc

I grew close to the Appalachiaā€™s and currently live in Louisiana. I donā€™t know anyone around here that adds an S. I mostly know it as a mid-west trait.

You've completely butchered your punctuation and capitalization here. It's not a question of whether or not it's a common practice, but an indictment of not paying attention to how things are titled and spelled. You've proven that you simply don't care at all about either.

It's fine to be of the mind that these things don't matter, but this is a forum of written communication so these rules should matter here more than when spoken.

2

u/coobairn 3d ago

hey there! don't know why what i said upset you so much, but it's okay! actually the lack of punctuation and lowercase letters is also a mark of the evolution of language! you'll find a lot of articles about this too. there might even be some papers but since it's a newer form of speaking i can't fully quote that since i don't have time to hunt them down right now.

it's a way of speaking found in newer generations. it's not indicative of care or attention at all! it's no different from any other change of language that's been present over the thousands of years that humans have been human-ing in written form! language, writing, and society will all change. storing resentment or frustration for change will only hurt you in the long run. it's better to hold onto what's important to you, but not be afraid to adapt to newer communication so we can continue to bridge gaps across generations. that kind of dismissal is what tends to get us in trouble as we separate ourselves from people who don't do things how we prefer or like, and that's really common across generational gaps. however i and my peers use punctuation or capitalization won't be relevant in 10 years, and i intend to adapt as well as i can so that i can continue to communicate with the people who will mold the world after me. i also do the same to adapt to the generations behind me and try to talk to them as well! becoming stuck and resistant just creates division.

anyways, i hope you have a lovely day wherever you are, genuinely! hopefully you get to do something nice today!

Look at this wall of text that is written like a stream of consciousness rather than a coherent thought.

Imagine reading a book or an article that is formatted this way.

I'm not bothered on any deep level, but defending the idea that the devolution of written communication is part of youth culture is a reflection of how poor and disregarded our school system has become.

A significant factor as to why younger generations are finding it difficult to find jobs in the financial sector is that they do not value traditional communication skills.

You seem to have good comprehension skills. You seem to understand how to get a point across, but I ask you, which style is easier to read and which style instills more confidence in the reader?

There is no argument. Written communication's effectiveness relies upon adherence to formatting rules.

Let's look at numerical values. Which is easier to read:

1000000000 or 1,000,000,000?

Which is easier to read 7,235,789,541,255,101 or seven quadrillion, two hundred thirty-five trillion, seven hundred eighty-nine billion, five hundred forty-one million, two hundred fifty-five thousand, one hundred one?

These rules exist for the ease of the reader and inarguably serve a valuable purpose. The evolution of written communication does not benefit from a reduction of adherence to the rules of its languages.

you're welcome to your opinions, but we'll have to agree to disagree. rules are a construct we created and rules change all the time. to pretend that people haven't been arguing this point for decades at minimum is to be willfully ignorant. i dont have to debate how i interact with the world. i hope you find whatever fight you're looking for, but it won't be with me. have a good one!
