Are they like Aldi,at the checkout? You know,where they whizz the items through the till,then stick their hand out expecting you to pay, while you've only managed to get one or two items into your bag. Not forgetting the ignorant next customer in the queue,sitting on your shoulder trying to make you go faster!
Aldi and Lidl are German-style. You are expected to put the items back into your trolley ASAP and use the large packing shelf behind the checkouts to bag up. However, there's nothing explaining this, so mainly it's the, shall we say, locals who once lived in a country nearer Germany who seem to realise this... and the locals seem unwilling to copy the incomers, so the queues crawl along and a fairly small supermarket has 6 or 8 lanes when they'd probably have 4 in Germany.
They are. I watched that short documentary about Aldi the other year. All the staff fly round chucking stuff on the shelves,pulling pallets out etc. When i've been in, i've left stuff behind,just because i've missed it while trying to bag stuff with the irate tool who's next in the queue giving me the evils. This happened last week,when i left a frozen cheesecake behind. I went back for it. They had a "it's your own fault" attitude. Oh,and try and leave the store with one of their baskets! They follow you outside,making out like you've nicked the day's takings. "It's only a basket,i'll bring it back once i've got my stuff in the car",said i. Like i'd want to nick a fecking manky basket off them!
Put the items back in your basket/trolley and pack them in a bag at the bench... that's the Aldi wayAre they like Aldi,at the checkout?

I've even left stuff behind on the bench/shelf there for packing,due to me being so flummoxed!Put the items back in your basket/trolley and pack them in a bag at the bench... that's the Aldi way
Fairly confident both the German discounters have time and motion for everything instore for staff, so most end up doing 9/10 hour shifts on 7.5 hour money.
Not quick enough?! I don't want to feel like i'm working on the VW/AUDI/BMW production line!
the target is scanning 1050 items an hour... the clock is still ticking whilst the customer is paying... and whilst those who can't grasp the concept of doing their packing at the bench so the cashier can serve the next customer sooner rather than later.
Yes, ours too, so my poor relations tell me
