Krispy Kreme, Rolo, Mecca Bingo and UniDAYS jump to Aldi aid amid ‘short staffed’ Bank Holiday

Aldi’s social media team have found themselves somewhat short staffed this weekend after ‘clocking off’ for the bank holiday. But a whole host of other household name brands have chipped in to help.

The supermarket left shoppers in stitches last week when they asked the likes of KFC, Co-op and Nandos to give them a hand with a Bank Holiday Monday shift on their Twitter account. They wrote: “We're officially clocking off this bank holiday, anyone wanna take over for the weekend? @Specsavers @NandosUK @KFC_UKI @coopuk #AldiAdminOOO ”

Several brands offered to lend a hand, including Morrisons, Mamas and Papas, and Yorkshire Tea.

And as Aldi’s admin takes a well deserved break from making us all laugh (probably to draft up some new jokes) Rowntrees, Mecca Bingo, Krispy Kreme and, as promised, Mamas and Papas are among the brands participating in a social media takeover to Aldi’s 619,600 Twitter followers.

Likely to have been a scheduled tweet, Aldi’s quick-witted admin posted this morning: “Thanks for your tweet. Aldi Admin is currently out of office. For anything urgent, please see @MeccaBingo, @MyUNiDAYS, @mamasandpapas, @krispykremeUK, @Rolo, @AfterEightUKI, @PoloMintUKI, @QualitySteetUK & @ROUNDTREES. Thanks, #AldiAdminOOO.”

Kicking off the bank holiday was Rowntrees, who asked shoppers what the most random thing shoppers have seen in the middle aisle, adding: “We’ll go first… a bee and insect house.”
