Aldi cashiers can scan your weekly shop faster than Usain Bolt can take on a 100 metre sprint. And it can be pretty daunting standing at the end of the tills scrambling to make sure your bread doesn’t get squashed and your fruit doesn’t get bruised.
But there’s one mistake that most shoppers make that could be costing them valuable packing time when it comes to paying for your goods.
The secret behind the lightning speed of Aldi’s checkout staff is that most products have multiple barcodes on the packaging, making them easier and therefore, faster to scan. They’re not superhumans, after all, but it can still often feel like you’re taking your life into your own hands when you go to pack your shop.
