I often have to do a big shop as my kids always raid the cupboards and need to go and do more food shopping.

I tend to mix the shops I go to...So buy some stuff in Tesco, Lidl, Aldi, Sainsburys.

Now when I get to the budget supermarkets (Lidl, Aldi) I am made to feel like I need to hurry and that I'm a burden to them.

As an example yesterday I was in Aldi and trying to frantically pack my shopping and the checkout girl was pointing to the card machine and trying to make me hurry up.

They scan items so fast it is hard to keep up.

I'm sure I could hear like a countdown beeping. It's like if they dont complete the sale in less than 30 seconds they'l be shot or something!

It is quite stressful when you are trying your best to pack your shpping, juggle everything, and pay.

Anyone else feel the same?
