Why do the media insist on calling Aldi a discount store?

because its MO is to sell exclusively no-name "discount" products.

Which is what in Germany is exactly what it does

but here, the UK obsession with "brands" means that they have to stock
some of them

Because it would slow things down, their tills operate at the speed of
light, and with the queues they need to!

though that system only works if the shoppers are all trained to put the
stuff back into the trolley and pack their bags at the rear counter

now all the the yummy mummies have started to see shopping in Aldi as
acceptable, that system is broken
