I'm like you for mostly the same reasons plus an additional one: pure spite. Supermarkets like Aldi no longer show or print out the return amount of money to your payment. The officially given reason is: staff is faster than the register doing it in their head [0]. Naturally that doesn't mean the customer is just as fast checking the correctness of the amount returned because frankly, who of us is used to this any more. So I make it my choice to stand and keep up the line until I have checked the return-amount. In this way I have had to discuss mistakes made by the cashier twice already this year, causing even more delay.
The real reason is that they want you to use cards, not cash and as far as I can tell, it's working. However, I find this kind of policy hurts people, particularly children, elderly people and disadvantaged.
