Product placement

Aldi: (a) it ACTS - the employee mentions they previously worked there, implying they used its systems and processes. Removing this would change the context of the employee's experience and comparison. (b) it merely APPEARS - the text overlay names the store. Removing this would change the context of the video. Tesco: (a) it ACTS - the employee is wearing a blue shirt with a Tesco logo, implying they work there. Removing this would change the context of the video.
