Another reason not to go there, then. What's the point if the checkout
operators go faster than you can pack?

That's ok - the type of service you expect ****es off a lot of shoppers
in these stores.when delaying the checkout process.

You are not meant to pack at the checkout - you put the items back in
the trolley and then pack at the shelf area set aside for the purpose.

I suspect as it reduces staff costs because they need fewer staff that
other supermarkets will soon start adopting the same policies in order
to become more completive. Aldi/Lidl have proved that shoppers are more
than prepared to accept fast checkouts, no loyalty cards, no delays when
handing out useless bits of paper to support schools etc. Judging by the
number of expensive cars in Alsi/Lidl car parks these days its not only
the "poor" that use these stores.
