@@gamepunk7963Look at the paper bag. There you can see the Edeka "E". The whole store looks like a Edeka, so it must have been a -REWE- uh... *Edeka!* 🛒
I live in America, and that was super slow compared to most our grocery stores, and we also have better bagging systems to make things easier. However, I'm assuming it's something to do with plastic bags that they try to cut down on for the environment. I cant say that the extra work isn't worth the potentionally positive influence you would have on the environment. But still, that was fairly slow, he was just being extra lol
Edeka is for beginners they are complete chill at the exit. You should try Aldi to make it a challenge. They can speed up to what ever you can handle :)
Depends i work at Lidl i go speed to because the minimum speed were supposed to have is atleast 30 scans per min while for aldi from what I've heard they want you to be able to scan about 50-60 per min which is like so almost impossible I myself am at around 37-42 scans
Pro Tip: 1) Put everything on the conveyor 2) Throw everything into your (now empty) shopping cart as the cashier does their thing 3) pack up calmly out of the cart somewhere to the side
This is how it is supposed to be done, however I usually think I don't need that much so I use a basket. Then I overfill that basket and stress out at the end trying to get everything in my backpack. Got really good at organizing the order in which stuff passes the cashier.😂
I almost never use a shopping cart as I don't have that much groceries. The problem is that Aldi and Lidl often don't have an area where stuff can accumulate.
@@andreseward They want to prevent people from taking the baskets home. You are not supposed to use your own bags inside the store, so they offer the baskets and then you can either buy a bag or use your own one after the cashier. However, the Discounter stores are built to use a cart unless you have under 5 items :/
Agree.. I was thinking the same. I have actually YELLED at a cashier throwing things at a little old German woman.. I doubt I did German... when I get really mad, I blow up in full fledged ENGLISH!!!!!!!
I don't think anyone could film at Lidl or Aldi😂 there you need every hand possible to get your stuff into your bag or trolley (whichever method you prefer) or shopping cart of course.
I had this experience at a German grocery store… my German wife told me I had to pack up the food super fast.. I got nervous and went like as fast as I possibly could, I grabbed a plastic wrapped case of bottled water and when I lifted it the plastic ripped and bottles went everywhere. I looked back to eye rolling germans looking at me… I started to sweat. It was intense.
@@sticy5399actually, there's so much more worse than that. But you have to grow up to understand. A baby also thinks there's nothing worse than being hungry, they even cry because of it.
My sister is working at Aldi and there is a very good reason why the Aldi cashiers are scanning much faster: their speed is logged/recorded by Aldi. So Aldi knows exactly how long this specific cashier needs, to scan the items per minute and per customer. There is actually a score. And their are guidelines how fast they have to be. So if they are too slow their superior will talk to them about it and how they could speed up the process.
@@vincentius9311nah they just want to give you a quick line with minimal cashiers needed which they do pretty well and then you can pack your cart at the counters further in the checkout area or roll your cart to your car to pack it in the car😂
I used to work at Netto (the black/yellow one) and our scan time per item was logged, too. The trick is to hit subtotal if something takes longer to either scan, or if the customer cannot keep up and you have no space to put the items without shoving others off the cash counter... Don't know how Aldi is handling it, but back then we were encouraged to need less than a second between items.
This cashier was sooo chill damn. But it‘s pure training to get along with the speed xD Kaufland or Aldi are like the cash register speed gods and I‘m nervous every time I need to check out xd
I have bought at Aldi since I was about ten years old or so - and heck, I get nervous sometimes and I pride myself to be equal to most other cashiers. But Aldi - no chance. They are so dang fast!
Just relax. Pack everything as fast as YOU can and when the cashier is done, just keep on packing your stuff, before paying. Take your time. It's gonna frustrate the cashier, but who cares. He/she wasn't considerate with your speed, why would you be considerate of them? There is no rule telling that states that you can't take your time.
Back in the day at Aldi they did not have the scanner cashiers. The employees had to learn all the article numbers and had to type them into the machine. Exact same speed!
With a scanner nowadays you're very fast when you're scanning around 4000 items per hour at Aldi. Back in the day when we used numbers "very fast" meant up to 6500 items per hour... The scanner system is waaay slower than using numbers.
@@Sentinel_Daniel With a scanner you have to grab every item and move it over the scanner. When every item has a number you see what's on the belt and type in the number even before you're able to grab the item...
The last one is SO accurate but Edeka is actually pretty chilled. Aldi is the worst. They push all your stuff away and beep the next 10 ppl when you’re still packing your stuff it’s horrible
@@emacias1473 yes! and the entire queue is already staring at you. And it feels more intense bc they only have their masks on so you only see their eyes
At Aldi and Lidl, you are not supposed to bag at all at the register. You are supposed to put the items back into your cart fast, pay, go to the spacious long packing tables after the register and *then* bag your stuff at any speed you like. Much better for all involved.
In English it is one of the many names for a male er..... not sure if im allowed to say it on here. Esp. with americans reading. They bleep out the most innocuous words. I saw 'unalive' in place of 'dead' the other day.
Manche Wörter sind im deutschen aber auch echt sehr seltsam (und ich mein nicht mal im Dialekt) 😂 Ich bin echt ins schwitzen gekommen, als ich meiner französischen Austauschschülerin damals versucht habe zu erklären, warum wir z.b. "Menschenauflauf" sagen! 🤣🤣🤣
@@hexesayuri90It's not really that odd given that 'auflaufen' literally means running up onto something (the sea onto the beach for instance), so it makes sense to use that as a word to describe a sudden congregation of people all rushing to one place. The strange thing is rather how the same word came to be used for a dish.
When shopping at any supermarket I try to be as quick as possible with removing my purchase from the counter. That's possible only by putting them back into my cart. Usually I bag the goods at my car. I just don't want to steal other peoples time.
Yeah but completely different meaning. Usually "dick" in German means "big" or "thick". In this case it means kind of thick since this is Agave syrup and the other thing is a type of fermented dairy.
@@mokkamalia8290 I know. This was so confusing when I worked in an international law firm and a client who was on first name basis with my boss was called Dick....
your packing technique only worked because that was a slow-ass cashier. a better method is to dump everything into the shopping trolley/basket, and then use whatever other surface is available before the exit doors to bag your stuff properly
This cashier was chill. The cashier's in Lidl near my house are mental and the worst part they don't have a table after the cashier stand so usually I just drop everything back to cart and sort in the right way after I payed
If something is a whole food, there is a good chance that I am buying it. If something is a manufactured food, there is a good chance that I am NOT buying it.
@zac thumbs up for packing your own bag. Actually started doing this at Trader Joe’s in the USA and staff at the register is pretty happy about the unexpected help 😜
Aldi/Hofer (sorry I only know Hofer in Austria) is much faster. There's also no place for groceries after thr cashier, you have to load them realy fast in your bag or shopping cart. Anxiety at it's max😂
Not really if you know what they are. The first one is agave syrup (Dicksaft = thick juice, so syrup) which is used as a honey replacement for the calorie-conscious. The second is a very popular dairy product, as the name suggests it's thickened milk and is similar to yoghurt, but less tangy and more creamy. It's a perfect dessert with some fruit compote, or simply a little sugar and cinnamon.
We have several Aldi stores here in Florida and there is literally no time to pack. They have your food rung up and neatly organized in your cart in one fell swoop. Also, get your mind out of the gutter!! It means THICK..ohh..wait. 😂
In England they help you pack and smile at you and thank you. In Germany they have a go at you if you don’t pack quick enough. If you dare to defend yourself the queue will join in cussing you out.
I live in Germany and went grocery shopping in the US. I loved the experience of finally not go through that stress and the looks of annoyance of the other people - it's giving me anxiety 😂.
I remember first days on Baustelle in Germany. There was an overweighted guy working with us and people just called him "dick" wich means "thick". I was laughing every time I called him
Bruh the cashiers at Edeka are working in slow motion, as a German besides the insane prizes this is the main reason why i don't go there, it's just way too slow.
if you are in germany,thats probably the slowest cashier cuz you gotta put hard things first and get soem space like if u could manage between the items are breads and eggs on the end so u dont mess around
As a piece of advise. Have a cart or busket, a lot of supermarkets in Germany offer you one or the other or both, so you can put everything in them and fill in your time your bag. And the job of someone who packs your bag for you sounds a bit silly even with with this fast cashiers in Germany.
I am an Indian and I can't understand why he was collecting things so fast when the cashier was so so slow! Am I missing something here? India has different cashier speeds but this would be an afternoon post-lunch speed when there are only 2-3 customers in the store. With 100s in every queue and 4-5 queues in every store, Indian stores are hyper fast
I am a German lady living in Italy, immagine their is still one supermarket called Ali where the cashiers still help you to put your goods into your bags and containers. It is the only supermarket that offers this service and I thank the ladies often because it is less stressful for me...
