And. of course, they will only deliver the bottom pallet of a stack


How high do you think they’ll be stacked within a train carriage?

more than one


The pallets I’ve seen on supermarket shop floors are stacked to about 6
feet high and wrapped in shrink wrap. I didn’t realise 769s had 12 foot
internal headroom...


from personal experience:

you wouldn't want to be moving around a 6 foot high stack with a hand driven
thingy

you need the item to be no higher than you can reasonably see over the top


Yesterday I noted a pallet being moved around on a pallet trolley at my
local Aldi; it was stacked to far above head height with plastic trays
containing loaves of sliced bread, the whole lot wrapped in cling film to
keep it together.

I don't know if yours is different, but our Aldi takes no prisoners when
it comes to shelf-stacking. The staff expect customers to scatter when
they barge past with the pallets, and then leave them blocking the
aisle.

Sounds like various ASDA branches at 3am (but with more leisurely
pallet moving).

Aldi do very good 70% dark chocolate, in packs of 5 small
individually-wrapped bars.

Probably in high strength plastic so the chavs can't munch on them before
they've got to the till.

No, packed in card, so they look like a 100 (ish) g bar of chocolate.

If it's the one I'm thinking of it's in cardboard and foil-paper.

Decent produce (some things really good, particularly ham and gin) for
cheap prices; efficient staff who look like they work hard; free
electricity at Lidl

Would that be the bright pink with more nitrates than a fertiliser lorry
and made by some german company you've never heard of ham?

Do they have a special carrier bag for that then?
