> Because in Germany it's very fast
ALDI/LIDL are outliers here in Germany. Other supermarket checkouts like Rewe, Edeka, and Kaisers are slower at scanning items. So don't take the speed of ALDI/LIDL cashiers to be indicative of every supermarket checkout in Germany.
Overall, German supermarkets scan items faster than in North America, but ALDI/LIDL are really in their own league. I sometimes think they are faster to scan items than to drop the contents of the belt onto the floor. Impossible to pack in real-time!

- zeroflow 9y agoThey got slower. Some years ago they punched in all items by number and were even faster. The downside was that for the first months of your employment you were at home learning all codes.
- Moter8 9y agoFor stuff like vegetables and fruits sold by the unit cashiers still pretty much have to learn the codes to be fast. There's a grid overview with images of the groceries and their numbers to help, but eh, you can't look at that or else you are slow. I still remember that 515 were cucumbers and I believe 529 were 2.5kg of potatoes?...
