My wife prefers self checkouts, absolutely hates going through an assisted checkout, I think it is mainly because she hates lining up with people, nearly as much as talking to people.
She hates phones as well, she is happiest when reading, doing crosswords or sudoku, followed closely by gardening and cruising. LolShe could always pretend to be texting on her phone, like I do.
That post was from January, I'm surprised that anyone goes to WOW and COL over Aldi, when I queried the wife about it, she says it boils down to smugness people like brand names.I think Woolies is trying anything to stop the loss of customers, my wife says they are pricing themselves out of business, Aldi over here is tearing them another one.
The Son and DIL travel 60km into Bunbury to Aldi to shop once a week and reckon they save $220 over shopping at Woolies in Collie.
I think Woolies is miss reading the audience, it will be interesting to see if the 'elite' CEO, has connected with the working class customers.
I wasn't aware that Coles sends armed soldiers to peoples houses, drags them into the shop, and forces them to put groceries in the cart and purchase them...Interesting article on TV tonight. Cole and Woolworths are now proven to be ripping Mr and Mrs Shopping Trolley off at the checkout.
Aldi has been declared cheaper by about 25% .
Well, well, well. Didin't we already know that the big two were thieves.

Your spot on @farmerge .
Locally, we have all of them and most frugal shoppers buy the basics at Aldi then go to others for speciality stuff.After questioning she who is never wrong about Aldi.
She doesn't favour them over any of the others.
I wouldn't know what is what in a supermarket as She has banned me () from these centres.
But Aldi she says whacks a surcharge on credit card transactions at the end of purchase.
No doubt the others have a hidden charge in their till receipt somewhere.
It matters not as She uses cash to do the shopping.
Did someone say frugal?frugal shoppers buy the basics at Aldi
Nonsense. Big business have reduced staffing. The cost savings have just been added to their bottom line.As I mentioned to Knobby, Coles and woolies haven't reduced staff levels because of self checkout, they just serve customers in different ways, eg picking online orders etc.
over the same time period that Coles and woolies have introduced self checkouts, they have also introduced home delivery and click and collect, these easily offset any labour reduction from the self checkout.Nonsense. Big business have reduced staffing. The cost savings have just been added to their bottom line.
You would think if they were ripping people off, they would be making more than 2.5% net profit after tax on their sales.Interesting article on TV tonight. Cole and Woolworths are now proven to be ripping Mr and Mrs Shopping Trolley off at the checkout.

legally cash has to be free, other wise Aldi would pass along the cash handling fee too I bet.They do charge 0.05 so half of one percent to use a card, cash is FREE
