It turns out cashiers could get fired if they don't put enough items through the checkout in time.
If you're a regular at Aldi, you'll probably have noticed the intense speed at which the cashiers scan your shopping.
The Mirror reports that the former employee explained how each individual store has its own "targets" to meet each day. For this one in particular, their target was a whopping one item scanned per second to safely sit above their store's expected 'transaction rate'. The ex-employee said in the Reddit post: "You actually have to hit a percentage of 83 per cent or higher on item per minute scanned.
"[The suspend key rate] had to be 100 per cent, but I would get like 150 per cent because I would pause the transaction if the person was putting stuff too slow. "The way I took it was: 60 seconds in a minute. If I scan 60 items in a minute, that should be 100 per cent.
