00:34 - Oh yeah, look, it's a good idea
00:40 for some people that can use it.
00:42 Obviously there's some people
00:43 that aren't really that familiar with it
00:44 and struggle with it, but yeah,
00:47 I kind of find it quite useful for some of the shopping.
00:50 If I'm doing a big shop, I'll use the main till,
00:54 but for small things, I'll go to the self-service.
00:57 - Basically, I'm old school,
00:59 and that I pay, or both my wife and I like to pay in cash,
01:03 and we don't buy things we can't afford.
01:07 Also, we like to keep people in jobs
01:10 by actually going through the checkouts
01:14 rather than the self-serve.
01:15 And the third thing, don't quote me on this,
01:18 but I do believe that there's a surcharge.
01:27 - It's really useful to have a self-service at Aldi,
01:30 I suppose because you often get queues here,
01:32 and you can just go through,
01:34 as long as you don't carry alcohol,
01:36 you can get through, and it's just so much quicker.
01:38 Yeah, much easier.
01:39 - When we shop, we prefer to be served by somebody
01:43 to create employment.
01:44 We're a little bit upset that Aldi
01:46 has actually moved the self-service line,
01:49 but we do use the self-service line at Aldi's
01:52 if it's too busy and they've got too few people on,
01:56 basically, and it gets too busy.
01:58 - I don't find it that stressful.
02:11 I just have a technique, and I just stick to that technique,
02:14 and yeah, I don't find it stressful at all.
02:16 I try and pack all the sort of cool stuff together in one,
02:20 and obviously all the heavy stuff in the bottom,
02:23 and yeah, try and get it done as quick as possible.
