//The last time I went in Aldi the checkout gal was throwing my shopping at me a lot faster than that//
A jokey post in an unrelated thread but nevertheless true!!
Took my wheelchair bound mum shopping in Morrisons a few days ago. Trying to bag the items myself and ended up with a mountain of groceries...checkout girl was literally elbowing the item down so she could scan the next one instead of slowing down a bit so that I could pack them.
After finishing scanning she gave me the total. I carried on packing while she sat and huffed and puffed for a bit and THEN paid. She didn't seem best pleased that I made her wait.
(There wasn't even anyone else in the que or else I would have hurried)
Just WHY do checkout operatives whiz through ur groceries like this?
Give me time to pack for Gods sake!

''Would you like a carrier bag?'
''No thanks, I'll just juggle my 97 items home thanks''

I think they have been trained in Lidl and Aldi.
TBH even if I’m in Lidl and Aldi I pack slowly just to slow them down. Apparently they are monitored on the number of items scanned per minute and must maintain a min.
But as far as I know Morrison’s don’t have that sort of monitoring. In fact when I started at my local Morrison’s we were told that some customers come to the store so they have someone to talk to and we have to make time to listen and talk to them.
It doesn’t work out that way when we’re busy but we do chat when the chance allows.
