Who do Aldi and Lidl have such fast check-outs? If you've ever shopped in Aldi or Lidl then you'll probably have experienced its ultra-fast checkout staff. Aldi's speedy reputation is no mistake, in fact, the supermarket claims that its tills are 40 per cent quicker than rivals. It's all part of Aldi's plan to be as efficient as possible - and this, the budget shop claims, helps keep costs low for shoppers. Efficient barcodes on packaging means staff are able to scan items as quickly as possible, with the majority of products having multiple barcodes to speed up the process. It also uses 'shelf-ready' packaging which keeps costs low when it comes to replenishing stock.

Glasgow Aldi to receive new solar panels in UK rollout
The new installations are part of a £7.7 million investment in on-site renewable energy, with 90 existing stores set to benefit—including the Shettleston Aldi in Glasgow. The supermarket chain, now the fourth largest in the UK, will install advanced 144 kWp solar systems at 41 stores by the end of this year, with an additional 49 stores to follow in 2026. (Image: Supplied) Read more: Tesco brings back free fruit for kids and makes big Clubcard changes Each site is expected to generate around 100,000 kWh of electricity per year—enough to power an average home for 37 years, according to Ofgem data. All future new store developments will also include solar technology as standard. Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: "By expanding the use of solar panels across our UK stores, we're making practical, long-term changes to how we power our operations, which will help us generate more of our energy on site from renewable sources. "By investing in our estate now, we're strengthening the resilience of our operations and helping ensure we can keep delivering great value for customers across Britain in a more sustainable way." Read more: Major British institution with Glasgow branch 'to close more than 100 locations' The solar panel programme is part of Aldi's broader commitment to increasing renewable energy use across its operations. In addition to these installations, Aldi has also converted more than 30% of its owned HGV fleet to run on hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), a more sustainable fuel. The retailer has also introduced chiller doors at its stores to cut energy consumption by around 20% per site.
