Default Aldi, the German discounter

I will use self service tills in some retail outlets but
refuse to use them in others that I know are crap.


The self service tills in the newly opened Lidl just down the
road are very good and there is always somebody handy to sort
out any problems - in fact they are the only such tills that
my wife will happily use.

She had problems initially because she didn't realise that the
out tray is also a weighing machine and won't process the item
unless it it's weight is correctly regestered. She couldn't
undersrtand why it wouldn't work if she was still holding the
previous item in her hand!

Similarly, Poundland in Lincoln has recently had self service
tills installed and the staff moniroring progress are
excellent!

I recently had a problem with a pair of insoles which, being
very light, weren't instantly recognised by the scale under
the out tray, possibly because I'd already scanned all the
heavy stuff.

I gave the tray a light touch and the monitor got to me at the
same time but my action had got it sorted.
