The thing is, all self checkout systems have remote access like that. When I was at Kroger, corporate demanded that you never use it and instead walk over to every single kiosk every time and go through the ordeal of logging into maintenance mode and fixing the problem. The software tracked how many times you did a remote action and you'd get chewed out for it. That's why you have to wait for the single employee to fix 12 machines one at a time. It's not a technical limitation at all. Corporate thinks that the "personal" interaction is more valuable than immediately fixing your problem with no waiting. Aldi respects your time. Kroger et al only care about MY BRAND
