Child Molested at Peterson Target
On Thursday, 7th October, 2010, a 6 - year - old girl was sexually molested by an Andersonville man at the Target located at 2112 W. Peterson, on Chicago's North Side. Loreto Gaspar, 68, was charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse of a minor.
Gaspar entered the store at approximately 5:25 P.M. and, shortly after striking up a conversation with the victim and her mother, approached and inappropriately touched the girl when she and the mother became separated.

Less Traffic at ALDI?
I walked past the ALDI at 6221 N. Broadway this morning and it did not seem as busy as it has in the past. I am wondering if the debit card scandal has had an impact on business? There is also a Grand Opening of its rebuilt, 6220 N. California location on Thursday. It will be interesting to see how many shoppers show up.

I consider myself fortunate to live within walking distance from Devon Avenue, a mostly Indo - Pak business district in Chicago's West Rogers Park area. It's fascinating!

ALDI Helpline, Not Very Helpful
The toll - free customer service helpline ALDI has put in place for customers whose debit cards have been compromised at their stores, is a sham! The person who answered my call did not sound like he was at all interested in offering me any assistance. He put me on hold so he could give me the correct answer to a question I had asked. I'm assuming he was consulting his supervisor. Personally, I had the feeling he was being coached.
This debit card fraud at ALDI first broke on WISH 8 TV, by Indianapolis news reporter, Deanna Dewberry back on 18th September, 2010. She stated, when she called ALDI's coporate office to confirm security breach, they admitted that an investigation was already underway. It started as a local incident in the Hoosier State but, soon, expanded into 10 other States. In my opinion, the company has done a poor job keeping the public informed and advising its customers to monitor the activity on their debit cards.

ALDI/Debit Card Customer Service Line
ALDI now has a customer service helpline for those customers whose debit card info has been compromised:
877.412.7152
Also, on the grocery chain's website, a message from the company has been posted. On the letter portion of the message, the company states it "believes" the affected terminals have been removed. That does not sound reassuring, to me at least.
