The Aldis in WA have self checkouts. But they've only been introduced over the past couple of years. Maybe it's the same nationally? Worth another visit to see?

They're pretty good ones, too - the bagging area holds four bags - which is sometimes enough for the whole shop. I don't much love their camera right in your face, though.

Well, I went to an Aldi for a grocery shop for the first time today. Self-checkout was great! Not as nice as scan & go, which I'll miss, but worth it. Cheers for the tip.

Not a fan of the bagging area though fwiw. It's just an "area", without hooks. I didn't notice the camera thing. I think I've only ever really seen that at Coles.

Same in Adelaide, almost all self checkouts now.
