Aldi introduces self-service scanners at Mapperley supermarket

New self-scanners have been introduced at an Aldi supermarket in Nottingham - as part of a wider roll-out across the country. Self-service tills were first introduced in Aldi's store in Tamworth in April 2019.

Almost a year later, the machines were introduced at four other stores in England - the nearest to Nottinghamshire at Woodgate in Leicester. At the time, Aldi said the initial stores were involved in a trial - but it was unclear how long the trial would last or which other supermarkets were likely get the new machines.

Since then more and more tills have been rolled out - and in the past few weeks the self-service tills have been introduced at Aldi's Mapperley supermarket in Woodborough Road. Shoppers still have the option to use the staffed checkouts. But supporters say using the self-service scanners typically takes away waiting in queues.
