At Aldi there is an innovation that also affects the cashier process.

A report describes what could still 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." Many retailers "also change the receipts as a result," as the portal reports.

Therefore, from April 1st, adjusted receipts in discounters and supermarkets would be a little longer.

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.
