I applied in-person. I interviewed at ALDI (Vista, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Cattle-call interview. 95% of applicants were in their 20s and showed up in torn jeans and t-shirts. I am in my mid-60s and despite the fact that I was dressed professionally and highly-qualified for the position, the very young HR woman took my application and threw it behind her onto a table without ever glancing at it. Told me only that they would "review the applications later" and it they wanted to speak with me further, I would hear from them within 3 days. That was the extent of our conversation. What she didn't realize is that I had been sitting in the room for over 30 minutes, watching and listening to her and another very young HR woman. They were reviewing the applications with each applicant as they turned them in, as well as having somewhat lengthy conversations with each applicant.
I had read and heard prior to going to the open "interviews" that Aldi age discriminates. I saw it for myself and it was blatant. They need to train their HR people to not be so obvious.
Not only did Aldi pass up a highly reliable and qualified applicant, they lost a customer in the process.
The interview process was easy. We did a tour around the store and then we each did five minute interviews. It was very simple and quick, would highly recommend applying to aldi

Interview
First interview was quick and brief, very friendly. Second interview was more of a one on one and I loved the DM. Third interview went okay but way more serious. Last interview was just signing paperwork and going to take the drug test. Have orientation tomorrow so let's see how that goes..
