Aldi policy of criminalising customers for cashier errors At our local Aldi store, my wife paid for her shopping at the till in the usual way, but as she walked towards the exit, she was stopped by a security guard who demanded to check her shopping against her receipt, ordering her to empty the contents of her bag on the floor. He then allowed her to collect her shopping again and go on her way. Aldi have a policy of encourging cashiers to scan the items as quickly as possible, then search exiting customers' bags with the intent of criminalising the customers for any items that the cashier might have missed scanning properly. Aldi cashiers scan items far too quickly for the customer to check whether every item was scanned properly, as the customer is busy removing items that are filling the tiny removals area with considerable speed. In any case, it is not the customer's responsibility to ensure that every item was scanned. Nor is it realistic for the customer to check the receipt against all bagged items after paying. I do not intend to return to Aldi in view of this dishonest policy, as I can never be sure that the cashier has scanned every item. I am not responsible for any missed scans the cashier might make, and I do not wish to be criminalised for any items the cashier might miss scanning. Nor does my wife wish to be humiliated in public again in our local store.
