"Speed and efficiency at checkout are the name of the game. Aldi's known for having fewer lanes and employees than other stores, and its products have massive barcodes on the packaging so that employees to scan your items at lightning speed. (Although you'll need to bag up your haul yourself.) If you're brave, or simply want to tackle the process on your own, some Aldi stores have self-checkout lanes. But that may become a thing of the past with Aldi's latest change."
"Recently customers nationwide have been noticing that their local Aldi has removed the self-checkout lanes from its stores. People quickly took to Reddit to express their frustrations on all sides of the coin. "It's been about two weeks since I went to my local Aldi. Since then, the self-checkouts have all been removed. It's back to waiting 10-15 minutes since there's always only one lane open. Does anyone know what happened and why?" one person commented."
Aldi combines name- and store-brand groceries and household goods in a budget-friendly, one-stop shopping format. Checkout emphasizes speed and efficiency, with fewer lanes and employees, oversized barcodes for rapid scanning, and customer-bagging expectations; some locations offered self-checkout lanes. Recently many Aldi stores have removed self-checkout lanes, prompting customer complaints about longer waits and single open lanes. Employees and customers speculate the removal aims to reduce theft, with managers reporting significant inventory losses, sometimes up to $7,000 in a day. Some shoppers welcome the change, praising cashiers' faster service and role in loss prevention.
