This is what we call the Aldi Equator in Germany
>>214778807Do you really have a region called SAARLAND?
>>214778807Are there even any cons of living in Eastern Germany? This place looks like a paradise.
>>214778838Yes Saar
>>214778807Is this the official division betwen south and north germoney?
>>214778838Yes, but in our defence, it wasn't our territory for a few years after WW2 because the French grabbed it
>>214778855I live in Munich, to me everything north of the danube is north germany
And this is the battle line where the bombings and conflicts happened
>>214778979cute :3
>>214778807no lidl? i don't get it
>>214779249he doesn't even get it!!!
>>214778807I heard this is called WeiBwurstquator
>>214778872What about Central Germany? Also, do you distinguish between North Wessis and North Ossis or all Northerners are the same to you?
>>214779354>Also, do you distinguish between North Wessis and North Ossisyes, ossi is ossi
>>214778979In case anyone wondered, that's why the Ruhrpott looks the way it doesa lot of people there lost everything when the Aldi wars began
>>214780753Is it true that the Aldi wars saw more casualties than WW2?
>>214778807Funny how it almost mirrors the Catholic/Evangelical divide.
>>214778845Only 'con' is that there's less economic opportunity for you if you're a poorfag wagie cagie, compared to the west. But that's simultaneously a pro because it means less brown people come here. Other than that it's one of the comfiest places with some of the most beautiful and well-preserved cities in Germany.
>>214782348>Only 'con' is that there's less economic opportunity for you if you're a poorfag wagie cagieIt's literally the other way round, east Germany is better for regular wagies who make something between the minimum and average wage because there are plenty of jobs in supermarket, warehouses, factories there and cost of living is very low.East Germany is only worse for ambitious people and women because it lacks light office jobs or innovative industries, so they have to move west. That's why eastern Europeans like east Germany so much, they don't mind working in factories and such. But you won't see many Middle Easterners there for the same reason
>>214778807what's the difference between these two aldis tho
>>214783093I couldnt tell you if you put a gun to my head
>>214783093I'll tell you if you put a gun to my head
>>214783093I won't tell you unless you put a penis to my head
>>214782442I frequently hear zoomers complain about how it's a shithole with no opportunities, but maybe it's like you said and it's a specific type of work that is favored here vs the west.
>>214783139*put's a gun to your head*
>>214783158almost like there aren't any future opportunities in warehouse and supermarket work
>>214783093They had a BIG fight about selling cigarettes. I believe. Both do now, so one of the brothers was proven right. But probably was just a catalyst.
>>214782442I am a Nurse, was in the army before. I do not mind physical labour, you just aren’t paid enough for it. I have to admit it fell for the “serving your community”-meme again, because I realised (again) how koney and status are a big thing for women.
>>214783194Oh DADDY!
>>214783158Yeah, as a supermarket cashier in Frankfurt/Oder and Frankfurt/Main you get the same 2k eur but in the former you pay 500e for rent and in the latter - 1500.
>>214778807>SAARLAND
>>214785825One shouldn't work for the money. One should work for the joy of working.
>>214778807I just started learning German, what are some funny phrases that I should know about?
>>214787352man this thinking is the reason why german americans work 80 hour work weeks.
>>214787569Work dignifies the human existence, anon.
>>214780753Maid Cafe Wars in Japan are tame in comparison.
>>214787359fick mich in den arsch, should come in handy for you
>>214778807uuuh in Italy we don't have Aldi, we have Lidl
>>214778979>german history be like>aldi sud reaches dresden>23 million perish
>>214787569Most germans like to spend their time rather at work than leisure a recent study found so this tracks. We aren't allowed by law to work more than 48h a week.
>>214778979mit dem angriff der tiefspreise, wird aldi nord wieder in ordnung kommen.
>>214787359Hast du Haschisch in der Tasche, hast du immer was zu nasche.
>>214787840There are over 180 Aldi Süd in Italy. You are being invaded and you didn't even notice, anon.
>>214788112ES BLEIBEN IM RAUM: NETTO, REWE, PENNY, EDEKA
Is there any difference between Aldi Nord and Sud? Different products, prices, arrangement? Or it's all just about a logo?
>>214788201It's the same prices, products and arrangements but they are 2 complete different companies with different owners.
>>214788261Please don't listen to this nazi, he works for the stasi.
>>214778859Was it not briefly an independent state? They had their own national team for a little bit
>>214785825Frankfurt is MENAs central, who would wan to live there right?
>>214788261even more retarded than Lidl-Kaufland that by years look a lot more like each other
>>214783228If the logos are anything to go by then we only have aldi souf in my country but they don't sell any nicotine products here.
>>214789091It's a bit like its in the US: there is another 1.5 million people living around Frankfurt (750k) who need it, but don't wanna live in it.
>>214778807Map is wrong, the border runs THROUGH Essen. Parts of Essen are Aldi Süd.Also the very first Aldi was in Dortmund. The shop doesn't exist anymore, it was too small to be profitable and was abandoned in the early 2000s.
>>214789450>he border runs THROUGH Essen. Parts of Essen are Aldi SüdA city divided.
>>214787359alle rennen aus dem brennenden Haus, ausser Klaus, der schaut raus.
>>214789512LOL
>>214789481Yes, but it's not bad. When the brothers Albrecht were still alive, the one running Aldi Süd didn't believe in tobacco and smoking, so cigarettes and tobacco wasn't sold in his stores. Apart from that they sell the same assortment, many Aldi "brands" are made for both Süd and Nord.An Aldi cashier once told me prices vary even between Nord and Nord or Süd and Süd stores. The stores belong to a franchise taker and he sets the prices for his stores and his stores alone. So you may find the same item for 5 or 10 cents less in another part of town. You can find out which owner a store belongs to by the address / telephone number that is printed above the opening times next to the entrance door.
>>214787359Wenn das Arscherl brummt, ist das Herzerl gsund.
>>214788198Rewe and Edeka aren't Discounters.They are with Kaufland more pricey.You forgot the bottom fo the barrel: Norma.
>tfw you aldi cashier is a smoking hot mid 20s white girl and you wonder what must be wrong with her to work there alongside eastern euro babushkas and Muhammads.
>>214789638alle stehen vor der klippe, nur der peter läuft noch ein meter
>>214787359>Was ist grün und wird auf Knopfdruck rot?>Ein Frosch im Mixer.
>>214787359The day before yesterday I learned what "rubbeldiekatz" (make it quick!) means, resp. where it comes from. In the middle ages money was kept in small pouches often made from cat fur. (How horrible!) They were worn like a belt. If somebody wanted to buy something and check quickly if he had enough coins, he would "rubbel die Katz'" or finger his pouch to "get a feel" of how many coins were in there so he could quickly estimate if he could afford it or not.
>>214790250I'd rubbel die katz if you know what I mean.
we have south german aldi here
>>214790418Yes, the world is divided into North and South according to Aldi. Countries outside of Germany usually belong to one of the two, but the US is an exception. Aldi South is called Aldi there, and Aldi North is Trader Joe's I heard.
>>214790418how do they fare against north german aldis proxy in the US (Trader Joe)
>>214778807Is Siegen split like Berlin
>>214790250Geh zurück nach Rettich, du Plage!
>>214790553what
>>214790418The Aldi we have here has the South Aldi logo, but I haven't looked too much into it.
>>214790708>The Aldi we have here has the South Aldi logoWe're through the looking glass here, people
>>214790527>>214790532i never knew they were connected. trader joes is more hippie dippie but they’re both cheap and have a weird atmosphere compared to normal american grocers
>>214790655Do Aldi corporate executives exchange employees over bridges at midnight while snipers watch from nearby buildings?
>>214778807cool
>>214790777thx for translatei do not know the answer because i am retardedthx for listen
>>214790771In Germany Aldi has renovated and in most places completely torn down and rebuilt their stores. They now have nice shelves, elegant lighting, and a very nice floor. The only thing that sets them apart from other stores is a limited discounter assortment and that they don't remove the carton around the items before they place their goods in the shelves.
>>214778807We have Aldi Süd in Australia and I love it. I grew up my entire life in an Aldi Süd household
>>214791147I LOVE AUSTRALIA
>>214791147That's really not something to be proud of.
>>214778807learning about Aldi Nord and Aldi Sud and the history behind both was confusing but interesting
>>214793007Maybe it helped you understand the troubled but well-meaning German soul a little bit better
>>214791264you are rude
>>214791264>>214795132Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
