How is Aldi owned by a different Aldi? To me that would only make sense if the comment in the thread above had specified which Aldi they were referring to.
Aldi US stores are owned by Aldi Süd, which is different from the Aldi Nord that owns trader Joe’s. You can see it in the logo that Aldi US stores use.
The commenter above was comparing working environments in Trader Joe’s (a US only store), Costco (majority US), and “Aldi”. The logical assumption is that this comparison is with Aldi US.
It would be strange if the commenter was comparing working environments in specific store franchises across countries with completely different labor markets. Furthermore, why would they specifically compare Trader Joe’s to German Aldi in North Germany?
I am certain that the above commenter was comparing Trader Joe’s to Aldi Süd and specifically their US subsidiary. These two brands are not the same company, despite Aldi’s naming quirk.

The broader context was worldwide as far as I can tell though.

Oh, TIL. I’ll have to check that out next time I’m in Germany.

When was the US specified? Did I miss something or is this just us defaultism?
