The Aldi near us recently added self serve checkouts. They work, they don’t nag and they still have an attendant to happily make small-talk and help customers.

Yes! Another great point. I have a very high success rate with aldi self serve checkouts. Coles ones frequently have issues resulting in waiting for the attendant.

Does anyone else think the voice on the self-serve checkouts sounds like Mr Handy from the Fallout TV series?

Honestly I find the Aldi self-serve voice so much more annoying than the other ones.
