Supermarket giant Aldi has found itself in hot water with shoppers in Australia over its self-checkouts. The supermarket's self-checkouts have been branded 'ageist' by some shoppers Down Under after Aldi changed its rules around how people can pay.
Supermarket shoppers were furious to discover that cash is no longer an accepted method of payment on many of its self-checkouts. Shoppers who want to pay with cash will need to go to a staff-operated till.
One woman in her 70s took to Facebook to share her dismay, reports the Mirror. The Australian shopper said: “I love Aldi but today I was very disappointed - our local has just installed self checkouts - which I am happy to use.
