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,


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


if you want to pay for someone to pack your bags

shop in Waitrose
