She said she was left traumatised by his "aggressive approach" and the "ferocious" speed of the conveyor belts while checking out.

You have to scan the items much slower and individually to prevent electrical infetterence.

Let us be bigger minded!

Homemakers tend to be isolated. We would be a more democratic society if we found ways for homemakers, seniors, homeless to connect.

My first (kneejerk) reaction was to be judgemental but I thought this over. Even hanging out on CE is better than being a stay at home mom.

The fact that she was crushed by this experience shows how alone she is!

Aldi's cashiers are some of the hardest working shit job holders I've ever seen and I will die on that hill. One time I went into an Aldi check out line, and the cashier scanned everything so fast that he outright sent me back in time. I walked out with my groceries before I even entered the store, traded carts with myself outside and saved a lot of some time. I still have two of the exact same cart quarter as evidence.
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.
I can't believe people are defending a cashier fully knowing the customer isn't able to keep up and choosing to throw food on the floor regardless. Maybe crying and shaking was an extreme reaction but you can't empathize at all that she might have been super embarrassed? What if other customers had their phones out recording the situation making it even more stressful? What if she's dealing with mental or physical health issues? Christ, does it even matter.

What if it was your own mother that the cashier made cry? "Should have packed faster, ma! Brought it on yourself!". Lovely.

I feel like Aldi employees can't win. First people threw a fit because they sat in chairs, now they're throwing a fit because they're too efficient. Oh I forgot people are already throwing a fit for self checkout. And throw a fit for long lines.

Perhaps they should use Instacart or some shit.

To be fair, this isn't just "too efficient," this sounds like a specific case where the cashier was rudely going too quickly, since the customer asked them to slow down so they could bag, and the cashier refused. This would be a non-story if the cashier had simply "Oh, okay, this customer asked me to slow down, so I will." If you're checking out so quickly that things are falling on the floor because the customer can't keep up, and you refuse to slow down, even when they request it... You're being a dick. Yes, I feel the "shaking and crying" rhetoric is too much, but the overall point feels fine. Literally nobody is going to fault you if you slow down by customer request.

EDIT: For example, going that quickly won't make the line move any quicker, since the line moving still depends on the customer finishing bagging, anyway. Thus, by refusing the customer's request to slow down, and thus items fall on the floor, all you're doing is causing the customer to take longer to bag, anyway, so it's actually hurting your productivity.

I instinctively feel like this was a case where she was bagging slow as fuck. And took creative liberties with the facts.

Like how many groceries are you buying where shit falls off the table because youre so slow.

Even if that's true, the line can't move until she finishes bagging, so it just makes sense to slow down, anyway, since if stuff falls on the floor... You're just causing the customer to take even longer to bag.

Not true at all. I routinely get rang up as the bagger is still bagging groceries for the person in front of me. Not at Aldi, but Publix, but the same point stands.

You have them pay, start up the next transaction and move forward.

Also I've only been to a couple Aldi's but normally they have a cart there for you to put your shit in, whether you 'rented it' or not.

And, to be fair, my stance comes as a former Kmart manager.

Yes, the registers timed how long it took to check out. But also, the customers typically had to bag their stuff, the cashier at the front couldn't help bag until everything was scanned. Thus, if the customer was slow bagging, and that caused the cashier to have to slow down, also, that wasn't held against the cashier, since check-out reports went to the manager first, anyway, and we could choose when/how to act on them, since, at the end of the day, we submitted our own reports, afterwards. Thus, I'd rather seeing a cashier have to stand there while a customer bagged, over them rushing a customer, since... Customer complaints went ABOVE our heads, and we couldn't help, in that instance.

Have you ever worked in a grocery store?

Because this is fairly common scenario.

Scan first, bag second.

And in the like three years I worked in one I never saw items fall off the counter.

Not to mention the conveyor belt has two speeds; on and off.

That woman was full of shit.

This typically isn't true for places that don't actually have baggers. When the customer has to bag their own stuff, the policy is almost always to wait on them to finish, or atleast be in a position where they CAN finish and everything is out of the way.

My girlfriend works at a local Smith's, and their policy is scan first unless you can't, and then wait for and/or assist in bagging. It's done this way specifically to avoid incident where customers either complain because stuff fell on the floor, or things get bagged for/by the wrong customer. If the previous customer still has a shit ton left to bag, for example, you don't start scanning for the next customer, because... The food is going to end up in the same bagging area. Hence... The line is held up by that customer, regardless. She was instructed specifically not to start scanning for the next customer until the previous customer has bagged all of their groceries, and if it means helping bag, you help bag.

Idk for UK Aldis, but in the USA, theres a counter to take purchases to so that the customer can bag their groceries.
Again, Aldi uses minimal staffing, so the cashier speed-scanning is probably a necessity to deal with the lines and even if there wasnt a line, there probably often is a like so that speed becomes the default mode of the cashier.
The next question, unless the cashier was grossly incompetent (again, he sounds rude, but thats not an issue that should have affected the checkout process), why did the lady not have anywhere to put her purchases at the counter? Did she not have a cart to take the groceries away? Many people in Aldi take empty cardboard boxes from around the store to help them carry their purchases. By all accounts, this lady sounds like a dumbass. Instead of owning up to lack of planning on her part of checking out, she cries like shes been harmed.
Now imagine all the other people just trying to buy their groceries having to wait for this inefficient, idiot woman to stop being a mess.
Situations like this are why I use self-checkout when its available (and not a premium service because capitalism can be a hellscape).
Get her a job at an Amazon warehouse for a month then send her back so she can get revenge on the guy, she can bag the stuff so fast and tell him to hurry up or something

Wait, people bag stuff at Aldi's? I thought everybody just had the grab cardboard boxes and do it by the long counter in front of the cash registers

I imagine it's probably different depending on where in the country you are. At the local Aldi's where I grew up (Northern Ohio), customers had to bag everything, and there was a very small counter where things were placed after the cashier scanned them, so you have to be pretty quick at bagging. Granted, the few times I went there, the cashier would go at the pace you were bagging at, which probably skews my perception, admittedly. It's also been several years since I've been to an Aldi. I now live out west, where there's less stores like Aldi's, and more just... "Smaller" national chains, like Kroger's/Smith's. And since those stores have traditional checkout conveyors, they have to make sure the previous customer finished bagging before they can begin to check out the next customer.
