It’s why I like Tescos more, plus I can just go In get something and get out quick trough self checkout. In Lidl there’s always fukin huge lines no matter what time you go in fuk them
It’s a great game to play. Can you pack everything before the cashier brings up the total price.
Don’t you mean; dozy twunts who don’t seem to have got the message that you’re supposed to just put them back in the trolley at the till and then *walk over to the packing shelf and pack your bags there*, freeing up the till for the next customer? Aldi/Lidl have been here for thirty years now,, for fecks sake, you’d think the dopey eejits would have copped on by now.
Who’s worse; the guy ahead of you casually putting his shopping into his bags as if he has all day or the guy behind you watching you pack your bags as if he’s about to explode?
I never understood why anyone would complain about this. This is tip worthy. Get your fucking head out of your ass and get your shit packed and out of the way as efficiently, please. And thank you to all the efficient checkout operators. Also I don’t think women of a certain age should be allowed to work on checkouts, they’re far too chatty. Bitch there’s a fucking line here, I don’t want to hear you telling this lady in front of me, who is basically finished that your daughter is getting married in May (this literally happened to me today) and all the details. Please just shut the fuck up and scan the shit.
I am willing to die on this hill.
How many years have these shops been in Ireland? And we still get these highly original comedians complaining about the speed of the checkout. It’s really simple lads, I don’t know how you still don’t get it: Just put the stuff back in your trolley and pack your bags at the shelf by the window. There are signs telling you this!
It’s easy. Get decent reusable bags that will stay upright and set them out in your trolley and throw the items into the designated bag. Then you don’t have to pack separately and it takes the same amount of time as putting them back in the trolley anyway.
Excellent 😂
The trick is to put them on the belt in the same order you wants to pack them, tins of stuff first, veggies last.
So I work at ALDI and once some friends of my supervisor got a call that someone they knew was in a car accident a few blocks down and ran to the registry which I manned. My supervisor informed me of the situation and told me to scan as fast as I could so they could catch a ride with the ambulance.
They threw their items on to the belt and I was of to the races. I channelled the power of a belt-fed machine-gun as I scanned item after item, I scanned so fast the three of them couldn’t keep up, I clearly wasn’t the bottleneck in this equation. My supervisor looked on at me in horror seeing the monster she had unleased.
They had a full cart, I was done in less than a minute.
It’s not fast enough in Ireland tho..
You just need a trolley, load it up and pack at the bench.
This is universal for Aldi. I live in the U.S. and refuse to go to Aldi because of the way they check you out. If you’re the only person in line, you still get this treatment. Cashiers have one speed. Extra, extra fast.
I do appreciate the fact they still have cashiers as most of the other groceries and some of the other major retailers have gone to all self-serve checkouts.
If they want the money off me they’ll wait until I’m packed.
