Everybody who shops at Aldi knows their cashiers scan items at a super-human speed - and it can be quite the challenge keeping up with them. But there's actually a reason why they rush people through their checkouts, with one former Aldi worker revealing it's all to do with their training and targets.
The ex-employee explained how each store has its own targets to meet - and for theirs, it meant trying to scan one item per second to safely sit above their store's expected 'transaction rate'. They claim workers are on a timer from the second they scan a customer's first item until the customer hands over payment.
