But what does hold you up in Aldi with this system is, they can't start
to scan things until you have finished putting the things on the belt
(and thus they don't have an empty trolley to put them back into).

Er, why don't they do what CostCo does have an empty trolly at the
checkout when they start? Shopper comes along, starts unloading,
operator starts scanning and placing in pre-existing empty trolly.
When transaction is complete shoppers trolly is now empty and ready
for use by following shopper.

This doesn't work if they have those stupid trolleys that need a
pound shaped disc to be inserted to enable use.

Are there any places left that don't?

Yes. Waitrose use something that locks the wheels of the trolleys if
someone attempts to take them out of the carpark.
