Aldi will make you do pushups to get the job

Despite cashiers being able to sit down, it turns out that getting a job at Aldi is harder than you might think.

A woman in a Facebook group discussed her interview process with the supermarket by telling people that instead of telling the hiring manager about herself, she was forced to do push-ups. She explained, “My relative recently interviewed for a position in-store and then later that day she was asked to partake in a Zoom meeting in her home and was asked to do push-ups, sit-ups, and starjumps to show her fitness level.”

A commentator added, “Started at ALDI a year ago now, and I had to do a Zoom medical assessment. Thought it was weird at the time, but now I realize how necessary it is. You definitely need a certain level of fitness to be competent in the job… Yep. Part of the process.”
