| | | Why was the complaint thread "Aldi are an absolute joke!" removed?
First of all: Could you please tell me who moved the thread?
Could you please give me a reason?
If it is because you want to regroup all complaints concerning price? Then how comes there is a thread "The price of consumables such as light bulbs" as well as "Absurd Swiss prices"?
Shouldn't I have a choice of whether I want to create a new thread or post the information on an old thread?
Thanks

Hiding it at the end of a thread that is several months old pretty much guarantees that it will hardly be read...Hence meaning I have wasted my time writing it.

To be fair an entire thread of melodramatic outrage over the price of a 4.99 CHF pack of razor blades is a tad pointless, i'm not surprised it was merged.
