Are they? Possibly only in stores where the check-out staff are so

I believe that they get bonuses on their check out timings. Although I
also believe that in Germany it is illegal to measure worker's
individual productivity.

Aldi staff do NOT get such bonuses. If their timings are really slow
(allowing for newness of staff) they might get a quiet word. Largely it's
a matter of pride and competitiveness!
