The Aldi Aisle of Shame
05.08.24 | Shop Talk directs us to the German owned grocer, Aldi, and their non-grocery aisle of “finds.” But first, Caught My Eye deals with luxury jeweler Cartier. The retailer’s Mexican website improperly listed $14K earrings for $14. A man bought 2 pairs and Cartier protested. The Mexican Government Dept. of Consumer Affairs sided with the customer and made Cartier adhere to the price. Also, items from the Titanic recently sold at auction including a watch worn by John J. Astor IV selling for $1.5 million. Lonnie Pilgrim, the longtime leader of chicken giant, Pilgrims Pride, is our Business Birthday.
