I've been to a couple of Aldi's, but today I went to our new one for the first time. I know the drill, so I found a cardboard crate empty on the bread shelf. At checkout they are determined not to help you, it is so un-American feeling, but I slipped the cardboard into the cart when she turned to grab the items. To her credit she did about 3 scans per second, but then threw kombuchas upside down on purpose etc total mayhem, when she realized I tricked her into placing the items in the box. Lol.

The one near me, is mostly self checkout, if you need help your register starts blinking and a phone starts ringing and you have wait until an actual employee shows up. It is a bit strange.
I refuse the ring up or bag my own items. I’m not an employee.
I guess you couldn't go to this store then, I rarely see an employee.
It is a strange store, it seems like it runs with so few people.

Self checkout is a blessing if I have to shop where niggers are employed

Or at stores that insist on staffing at one half or less the necessary level. Which is most of them nowadays.

@James_Dixon @jb @annakatarina @PoastalJen @mackya Food Lion hires literal retards (on purpose), but at least they're not at the checkout, only stock boys, mostly. But I'd rather go through checkout with one of them than a sheeboon. Self checkout it is.
Lowe's Foods is a bit better, and it's a good thing since they stopped allowing cash in the self-checkout. I always look for one of cute White girls. Had to settle for the rather sizable White girl today, but at least she wasn't a hamplanet.

IF IT DON'T USE THE SELF-CHECKOUT, I HAVE TO TALK TO PEOPLE!
ARE THEY MAD?

@jb @annakatarina @PoastalJen @mackya Ironically they could probably afford to hire a couple of whites if they got rid of the self checkouts. With self checkouts, average thefts around around 4% of total store sales, versus thefts of 1.5% at stores using traditional checkouts.
@jobanab @jb @annakatarina @PoastalJen @mackya boomers and shareholders fail the marshmallow test
@jobanab @jb @annakatarina @PoastalJen @mackya Tbh I’m always happy to see self-checkouts as an option. Extremes one way or another seem like steps down by this point.
@jb @annakatarina @PoastalJen @mackya if i see a non at the counter i keep looking for other lines or go self checkout
Makes snse, you don't wanna be there forever.
But there's always that chance they're too dumb or lazy to check the bottom of the cart where the case of beer is...
@lord_nougat @PoastalJen @annakatarina @jb @mackya i also don't want them touching my stuff and bagging my things worse than a white with downs syndrome
Oh, yeah. There's that too. But they're usually so retardedd and useless that I'm just there bagging my own stuff like a White with downs syndrome.
That is a nice thing about self checkout you can organize it how you want it, chilled in one bag, dry goods in another and no one is touching it.
Of course to have so many self checkouts and no employee up front, you know you are in a very high White % area.

@jb This is the correct answer. I've loved self checkout for decades.
In fact even niggerfrei zones can benefit from the technology as minimum wage White cashiers are not particularly fast either.
