Some chains track the speed. Afaik Aldi sets 1 scanned item per second as the goal on average, and that's so fast some people literally complain that they can't keep up with putting the scanned items into their cart/bag.
No, there is no way a random person can match that if they don't have a lot of practice.
- bee_rider 3y agoMaybe Aldi has unusually high professional standards. When I worked in retail as a teenager there was an obvious split between the adults who had been working there for ages (and were exceptionally skilled and quick), and the high school/college students who were there for summer jobs. The majority of the employees were in the latter group and we didn’t have any special skill. I mean, lots of people work in retail when they are teenagers, so on average the people who have done that in the past are more experienced that those who are currently doing it, right? Unless there’s a skew that is causing people to stick around longer in retail jobs as time goes by.
