In Aldi and Lidl you have dedicated packing areas (the big tables after the checkouts..) you’re meant to fire you shopping back into your trolley then move over there to pack. That’s why you have the trolley cutout so you can slide your stuff back into your trolley easy after they are scanned.

Aldi is originally a German store, in Germany the cashiers do check out extremely fast. That’s probably why they do that there too

I'm laughing so hard at the fast scanning movements 😂

Sooo ALDI is a German supermarket, which is actually two parts (ALDI Süd and ALDI Nord = ALDI South and ALDI North). And let me tell you, here in Germany, all of the supermarkets are that fast. I’ve heard that apparently a lot of shops bag your things in the USA for you. Yeaaaah… that’s not a thing over here, and people are actually more upset here when the workers take too long.
Edit: Lidl is also German hehe 😅

I saw someone else mention it, but the Aldi’s in my area also have a designated bagging area. So they just scan quickly and put it back in the cart. You move to the bagging area (just a few feet in front of the till) and bag at your own pace.

As a German person this made me chuckle, in Germany they usually scan everything pretty quickly to not waste time and keep the cue going

Man if there was an Aldi in my small town, customers would be screaming that they should be paid for bagging their own stuff and ‘doing the cashiers job’… they did it when self checkout got introduced

As an Aldi manager this is so accurate lol you pay THEN bag your groceries on the side to keep the line moving. 100% of the time of the line is long it’s because of slow customers not us

I remember there was this lady in Aldi in front of me and my mom, and she started yelling at the cashier to not go so fast and to put the things in her bag a specific way. The cashier apologized for going so quickly (although Aldi workers scan fast normally) and was being very nice about it. Then the lady called the manager because one there was a random iPad she found and needed to give in and two she started talking bad about the cashier and told him that the cashier was being extremely rude and improper. My mom luckily told the manager what happened so she didn’t get in trouble.

I never thought I would actually see a Karen like that.

At my old job (a grocery store) youd get fired if you didnt reach the expected items per minute and it was ridiculously high. I rarely every made it up that high bc I had to bag my own items and all customers at the store were really picky about how things were bagged. Luckily i wasnt in the main check out every often so that wasnt an issue I had to deal with very often.

Lidl takes it to a new extream they give you the roller so things come doen even faster but they block the window shelfs with boxes and leaflets so you can't even pack there.

I know this is a joke but my God how can people still not realise you put the things back into your basket/trolly and pack your bags on the benches? 😅

[annkiretyan]

Actually, I prefer Aldi for I've no one to blame for damaged fruit or bread or broken eggs, etc. I pack my way and love the quality of the offered goodies and lower prices. In short, no complaints. Thank you Aldi!!

I work at Aldi...It is like that for real. They time us on the registers 😂😂

[knicknac]

When I used to work retail, going from an international superpower of stores to a little mom and pop shop made my anxiety go down ten fold. That timer used to crank my anxiety up so much. I was so focused on getting it down to the “green” (which was under 120- not fun for bigger orders). The managers would pressure me and my coworkers relentlessly for it.

Now I just chill, no one buys hundreds worth of stuff and if they do, there’s not a crazy line behind them and we can talk and chill while I do my job at a decent pace.

I worked for aldi for 2 years the reason we were able to scan items so quick is, regular branded items have a single small barcode on it so you have to scan it perfectly where as at aldi they own most of the products they sell which allows them to design all packaging. So they put several barcodes all around the packaging so no matter how you place it past the scanner it will scan.

Ps. When I worked there we aimed for 1000 to 1300 items per hour I loved watching people run a marathon trying to keep up and as soon as I watched them get the bags ready I knew I had to scan 10X quicker 🤣

LOLLL This literally aslo happens in Australia😂😂😂

Our Aldi has a packing area where you can put things in bags and boxes. It’s nice honestly.
