> Aldi and its slightly-nicer copycats siphon
I feel compelled to object strongly to this language. It implies that Aldi is doing something wrong like they’re siphoning fuel out of their competitors fuel tanks or something. When all Aldi are doing is doing it better, more efficiently and in many instances with better quality.
It’s sad that those entrenched interests that got used to their own idiosyncratic way of doing things cant respond to vigorous competition with anything better than sour grapes.
