Supermarket giant Aldi has been accused of 'misreading the room' after announcing changes to its Specialbuys from later this year. The chain's Specialbuys have proved popular with shoppers, with items like Air Fryers, Egg Chairs and Hot Tubs all released to high demand.
The Mirror reports that Aldi has announced that online Specialbuys will be phased from the Autumn, following the decision to stop its wine and spirits deliveries later this month. It will still offer a grocery click and collect service, which sees customers order their food shop online to pick up in store.
It isn't clear if there will be any job losses as a result of online ordering coming to an end. However, the supermarket is said to be hopeful that affected staff can be moved to other departments within the company.
