    The opposite for me, Aldi isn't designed for shoppers just picking up a pint of milk or something.

    There's no self service, unlike other supermarkets, so you would have to queue behind people with massive trolleys.

    And they only ever seem to have one checkout open, two if lucky, despite big queues.

    I suspect it depends on the store. Our Aldi is a shortish walk away, so we tend to treat it like a local corner shop. I probably pop in most days for just a few items, and a typical wait at the checkout would be 2-3 minutes, which I find perfectly acceptable.

    And this sort of specious crying wolf is what causes people with disabilities more and real problems. Genuine concerns are overlooked because they end up being lumped in with nonsense like this.

    I have MS and I find your comment vile.
