Grocery Shopping at ALDI

So, I have officially decided that I am going to do my grocery shopping at ALDI from now on.
There is an ALDI close by to our new apartment, and I had been meaning to go there for quite some time. So, on my day off from work, I finally had the chance to go. I got everything on my list, quite quickly seeing how ALDI is a pretty small store. When I was finished, I went to check out and the total came to $49. I was psyched. Until I swiped my debit card and it didn't go through. So, I tried again. The lady at the checkout asked me what type of card it was. So, I asked if I could ring it through as credit, seeing how that's what normally has been the case since we moved to Philadelphia. Then she told me, as she sat in her chair eating strawberries while talking to me (kind of weird, I thought), that they only take debit or cash. When I told her my card was in fact a debit card, she saw that it was Wells Fargo, and told me that's an unknown bank......interesting......(welcome to the east coast, huh). However, I knew it wasn't her fault and there was no point in complaining about it. So, I asked her if I could just leave my cart and she nodded, so I left. Then I had to drive over to the oversized, crazy, busy, Shoprite across the street and get my groceries. It took 3 times as long and cost $83 dollars for the same things on my grocery list.
So, after an entire afternoon of grocery shopping, and seeing the obvious difference it makes to our budget to shop at ALDI, that is where I'll be doing my grocery shopping from now on.
Now, if I could only locate and ATM nearby.......
