Aldi divides customers at the checkout into a joke diagram
Aldi * posted a colorful diagram on the social media platform: The Y axis showed the speed in kilometers per hour, the X axis listed from left to right - "Peregrine Falcon", "Learjet", "Customer, when a new cash register opens ". While the peregrine falcon bar only rises discreetly, the Learjet does not even reach half of the Y-axis. The bar of the "customer when a new cash register opens", however, shoots almost to the upper end of the scale. The discounter writes cheekily: “Peregrine falcons reach a top speed of up to 390km / h. Customers are only faster when a new cash register is opened.
