That matches their job adverts and what I see in the shops, they also advertise that they pay high (for supermarkets) and expect hard work in return. I notice that a high proportion of the staff are first generation immigrants - the group usually most willing to take that deal for the sake of giving their children a good start in the society their parents have chosen. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith | Directable Mirror Arrays C:\>WIN | A better way to focus the sun The computer obeys and wins. | licences available see You lose and Bill collects. | http://www.sohara.org/

My info was from the wife of a friend who knew a cashier at ALDI. But this info that they are bad paid is from the 1980s and also second hand (friend of wife of my friend). In the 1980s there were AFAIK no ALDI stores in the UK. According to Wikipedia they expanded in the UK in the 1990s, while they opened stores in the US in the 1970s already. -- Andreas

After all, look at the differences in pay in restaurants. In the UK, they are paid quite badly. In the US, they are paid very badly and expected to make it up in tips. -- Using UNIX since v6 (1975)... Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org

In my local Sainsburys, if there are queues at the tills, the supervisors just carry on doing important things such as shuffling their pencils. Lidl is much cheaper than Sainsburys and I only patronise the latter if there are things that I cannot get from the former.

Same in Aldi. They always have a till further from the doors open, and that person has the responsibility of calling someone 'off the list' if queues get too long. -- Using UNIX since v6 (1975)...

Nothing annoys me more than to have a big line waiting for one cashier while one or two more employees are behind the counter doing whatever, that they apparently can’t interrupt to serve customers. Some places will have people jump in when necessary, and I always think better of them for it. I know nothing about running a store, but it seems to me that waiting on customers should have priority over other tasks, which can be done when you’re not busy. -- Pete

Washing glasses and restocking the shelves had to wait. After I had moved on, the place was taken over by the Yanks (Lucent) and the bar was shut down to stop there being alcohol on the premises.

If two or more cashiers are available, one should be reserved for simple transactions. What annoys me is being stuck behind someone who brings a shopping cart into the express line, runs back into the aisles for things he or she forgot, nit-picks every item, and argues over change. It's enough to make me return my bananas and jar of peanut butter to the shelves and walk out. Which reminds me of my second peeve: people who don't return items to the shelves but drop them in random locations around the store.
