Makes me wonder if they are at German speeds.
Because in Germany it's very fast

ALDI/LIDL are outliers here in Germany. Other supermarket checkouts like Rewe, Edeka, and Kaisers are slower at scanning items. So don't take the speed of ALDI/LIDL cashiers to be indicative of every supermarket checkout in Germany.
Overall, German supermarkets scan items faster than in North America, but ALDI/LIDL are really in their own league. I sometimes think they are faster to scan items than to drop the contents of the belt onto the floor. Impossible to pack in real-time!
Some years ago they punched in all items by number and were even faster.
The downside was that for the first months of your employment you were at home learning all codes.
I still remember that 515 were cucumbers and I believe 529 were 2.5kg of potatoes?...
