You may have noticed that the cashiers at Aldi can scan and bag items at an absurdly quick pace, and there are a number of reasons they are able to do so.

Every item sold at Aldi has multiple barcodes on the package, allowing staff to scan any side of a product, and many of these barcodes are too large to be missed with a scanner.

With zero flipping and searching, Aldi’s checkout process is significantly faster than other stores. Plus, Aldi times and scores cashiers on their pace to speed things up further.
