At Aldi there is an innovation that also affects the cashier process.
A report describes what could change for customers in the supermarket.
Aldi *
customers
could soon be
confronted
with
new receipts
.
This is reported by the
Chip.de
portal
.
The background is that supermarkets, discounters and drugstores must have adjusted their cash register systems by April 1 at the latest.
It is about an additional security function at the cash registers.
"Specifically, it is about the so-called TPM 2.0 process," writes the portal.
"The
receipts
are to be
stored in encrypted form on the back office servers."

The
new regulation will hardly change anything
for customers in the stores
.
Except that
, according to the report,
the
receipts
would be supplemented by “additional codes”
that should help
with the later
allocation and accounting
.
This is how it should work: The receipt is digitally transmitted to a cloud.
The cloud confirms receipt and prints a kind of stamp on the receipt.
“At the end of the receipt, the customer is then printed out the transmission code and date.
This should make allocation easier for customers and dealers, ”the report continues.

The receipt shows how long it took to check out
This is
what
the receipt should look like
, which, according to
Chip.de
, will be available nationwide from April 1, for example at
Aldi Süd
: three time stamps are printed on the Aldi receipts.
As usual, the date and time would appear below the total, without specifying the seconds.
A new signature is printed below on the
receipt
, below the dividing line.
There, "in addition to the cash register and signature code, a
start and end date
" would also be given.
"Here customers can indirectly see
how long it took to check out,
" writes the portal.
“The start date is the first product that was recorded by the checkout.
The end date is again the transfer of the receipt to the cloud. ”In other words: Anyone who, as a customer, should be interested in how long the process took there at the checkout could then read it off from such a receipt.
