Last weekend, Aldi found itself in the firing line with furious shoppers over its latest Special Buy. Thousands of shoppers set their alarms early to head to supermarkets on Sunday, only to be left bitterly disappointed when they arrived.
After being stuck in queues of over 100,000 people for the online launch of Aldi's Ninja air fryer dupe just a week before, people thought they'd have more luck in stores. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
Many shoppers were left disappointed to find that no stock had been delivered, or that there was only a handful of air fryers available instore. Others complained on social media that they had not been told about a ticketing system being implemented at some locations, meaning some customers had already been allocated an air fryer while others in the queue missed out.
