good luck ^_TT
Prior to aldi coming to Australia, when I visited the UK it blew my mind service cashiers got to sit down AND they didn't bag your groceries.
I think Tesco's was like that too. I miss chocolate chip pancakes.

also all the supermarkets here make you bag everything yourself
except some of the asian ones but thats bc the bags are right there and they just scan and bag
hmm
It's so odd to me. Like what if it's really busy and you have a lot of groceries and there's no room on the extra area to pack your stuff? Seems more stressful and time consuming to me but I guess the upside is that you get to pack your things they way you want?
Idk I worked at a supermarket for 5 years, standing and packing groceries for people. Left right before the banned plastic bags muahaha

usually theres enough room on the conveyer and there are 2 lanes so there's enough time to bag things haha
now im like
do y'all have different grocery checkout layouts from us. wild
i work at a retailer and i get to sit and bag and it feels good. i miss that life.
🖤
@pachi: yeha the conveyor isn't the issue. 2 lanes for what?
This is what our major supermarket checkouts used to look like when I worked there. The only difference now is there's a carousel at the end where you put the users bags instead of Infront of you.

I'm pretty good at bagging from when I was a cashier. But at aldi's, as long as weather permits, I'll bag them at my car
The folks here would hate that lol. So many of them get pissy when they're forced to put the bags in their cart let alone bag it themselves
Ahh I see. Thats so odd! Would take up a lot of space but I can see how you can get everything packed.
@lilykin: Oh man, SO often people expected us to put them in their trolley as well. The bagging area would have piled up and Im like uhhhhhhh.
I'm glad we were never expected to take things out to peoples cars (except for the very elderly or people who had heavy things)

@Kreatura: The entitlement if some of these people is big yikes. I think the intersection of them and the people who want to "open back up" is just a circle
I haven't missed cashiering at all. But I don't think it'd terrible at aldi's

It should be compulsory for everyone to work at least 3 - 6 months in hospitality or retail.
People would be so much kinder if that was the case.

My bf has never worked with customers at all and like hes not rude or anything but sometimes forgets to say please and thank you and is just a little cold in general to them so I yell at him heh.
