There are no longer even "multiple workers" servicing the queue necessarily. All Lidl locations in my vicinity in Europe have only a single human cashier operating alongside the self-service kiosks. When these shops were built, six different human-cashier lanes were created, but today only one ever operates even at rush hours. And indeed, it is often faster to go through the queue feeding into the self-service kiosks than to stand in the human-cashier queue.
- pests 3y agoMy local Meijer has 30 unused lines maybe only one or two being staffed. The two self checkout stations each have 20+ stations but they use the single line system which seems to always have 10+ people waiting. The line does move quickly. Then they have 3 super-quick self checkouts. These are labeled 5 items or less and don't include any shelf (direct into a single bag) and no weighing functionality (provided by a nearby machine that prints a barcode you scan).
