Is the milk tanker getting stuck really related to a made up Aldi store on Google maps of did this town just have 2 things happen? The article makes it sound like they're related which implies either:

  1. The milk tanker was driving to Aldi to unload which is insane to think Aldi corporate would trust Google more than their own logistics and saw fit to send milk without an inventory check.
  2. The milk tanker was driving to Aldi to fill up which is insane to think there's a guy committing milk arbitrage 1 retail container at a time.
