I love it and try to throw the items back into my trolley as fast as the lady whizzes them thru

But if you only have a basket they make you leave it at the start of the checkout, meaning you have to stuff everything in your carrier bags in a few seconds flat as they are chucking it at you

I became an expert at this when I lived in Germany and now I've got an Aldi really close to my flat so I've become an expert at getting my stuff into the basket before they've had time to tell me the total amount

I would normally use the self service checkout if possible though, I hate human interaction. Such a people person.

This!!! Hate aldi get totally stressed. Would never do a 'big shop' in there.
I don't mind self serve for 1or 2 bits.

I'd rather go through the main till and keep someone in a job than doing the job for them for free

Yes so would most tbh but these days most supermarkets that have the self service checkouts only have one or two normal tills operating because of them.

Thereby forcing people to serve themselves. More supermarket tactics to reduce their wage bill and increase profits. I'd rather wait 10 minutes, give it another 5 years and the big shop will be self service as well.
