I have been searching the internet regarding this company and it's atrocious checkout speeds. Instead of detailing my own horror stories I thought I would put a few here which I came across. Before I do I will say that I stopped going to aldi because of this and their attitude to older people and the less able. Here they are..... There’s even an Aldi Checkout Challenge page where customers can share their stories about trying to slow down an over-enthusiastic till operator. One joker suggested the supermarket should employ psychiatrists to support customers who “crumble at the pressure of packing” at the same rate as the cashier uses the scanner. Another posted: “The fury on an Aldi cashier’s face when someone doesn’t pack fast enough. “I worked there as a student, sacked due to slow scanning speeds.” Others provided helpful tips on how to slow down the cashiers. Or perhaps they get in the boss’s good books by getting through customers quickly. Suggestions include staff incentives for being quick and some even suggest they are doing us a favour - with fast checkouts earning more points. My main gripe with Aldi is the checkout process itself. They seem to have their people doing everything and only serving customers when enough of them turn up at the till, hence the 'queue shuffle' I suppose. I guess the answer is to stop going there.
