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


You put everything back in the trolley and pack at the car. If they are

Which is why I like self service. Don't get stuck in a queue of those with
all the time in the world.

Fact is, Aldi/Lidl have got more things right than the other supermarkets. Bigger isn't better, and both staff and customers benefit from the smaller scale. They pay well too, and it shows.
