Aldi's Barcode Strategy
Visited Aldi and Lidl in Germany and I am sorry but I can't help hating those stores. It all looks so cheap and barebones that I get depressed just being there. And then the whole experience with the cashier is hyper stressful and they are so blinding fast at scanning the groceries. It is like you are subject to some German Blitzkrieg or something.<p>Interesting with the article that they explained why it was so fast. I actually just thought Germans were super fast at everything in general.<p>I could't figure out how to pack my groceries as fast as they scanned them and get time to pay without holding up the line.
