While Aldi was one of the first UK supermarkets to trial the checkout-free technology, the concept has struggled to take off.
Amazon initially planned 260 Just Walk Out stores in the UK but has since scaled back its ambitions, while Tesco operates just four hybrid check-out free GetGo stores.
....
A spokesperson for Aldi said: "This is a concept store that opened in 2022 and is designed so that shoppers don’t have to manually pay for items – they can simply place things in the basket and the store’s camera technology registers the purchase without them having to go to a till - similar to Amazon’s Fresh stores.
"This one store has always required shoppers to download an app to enter the store and takes a small pre-payment (similar to Uber) to ensure the bank account a customer account is linked to has available funds.
"Only relates to a single Aldi concept store in London."
While Morrisons is planning to scale back the number of self-service checkouts in its supermarkets, after bosses admitted the expansion had "went too far".
In recent months, Primark has been rolling out self-checkouts at dozens of stores.
