Default Aldi, the German discounter

One thing puzzles me about them: why no
self-service checkouts? They are cheaper.


Are they?


Yep, one staff person per 6 checkouts usually.

Possibly only in stores where the check-out staff are so inefficient.


Nope, you can't get around that 6/1 ratio.

When I use Tesco/Sainsbury/Asda I find their checkout so slow
compared to the no nonsense approach of my local Aldi/Lidl


Sure, but still can't get around that 6/1 ratio.
