I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ALDI (Albany, NY) in May 2015
Interview
Brought a completed application to a "hiring event" they advertised. This honestly wasn't really an event, I had to ask the cashier where a manager was since they weren't out in the open. I met the DM who was pretty friendly, he took my application and asked me a few short questions from a form he had then told me they would call everyone by next friday. I did receive a followup call a few days later for an interview with the DM. I did that interview which was conducted while walking around the store and backroom. I then received another call to do another interview this time with the store manager. That interview went well and was conducted the same way, by walking around the store. The store manager expressed that he has no hiring or firing power but his recommendation on an applicant goes a long way with the DM who has the hiring power. Around a week later I got a call saying that I have the job long as a drug test and backround check come back fine.
That was the entire process, took around a month.

I applied in-person. I interviewed at ALDI (Bowling Green, OH) in Apr 2026
Interview
It was a basic one on one interview where the manager went over the basics of the job and I concurred I had experience in all of the shelve stocking and customer service aspects of the job from my time as a Produce clerk. It lasted about 10 minutes and then I was asked to leave.
