    Then after that the employee can slowly scan my items and pack them with cold stuff across all bags and fragile stuff under heavy stuff.

    The key to getting in and out quick is to have them scan it and you bag it. Even if they start bagging it for you, “I got the bags” places things in bags.

    Also Aldi, Aldi gets you in and out and they know how to pack a cart so things don’t get squished. I believe it’s because they actually pay their people and train them to get the line moving.

    Edit: Another time-save: you can pay for your groceries by card before they are finished ringing them up.

      Your Aldi has cashiers? Ours will have at most one dude available but almost no one uses that checkout.

        Pretty much the same. Though I have rarely been more than the 2nd person in line at an Aldi. That one dude keeps pace!
