The barcodes on the private label products in American Aldis usually have a barcode on ever possible side, with a bigger than usual surface area. Cereal boxes will have one on ever side for example. It makes checkout fast. A full cart can be scanned in under a minute. On the other hand I hate the shrink-wrapped produce. I get that it avoids scales, speeds checkout, and reduces waste from customers handling for the "perfect" produce, but three peppers wrapped to a styrofoam tray feels so wasteful.
