Claire @claireph.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Seems like a good system. Apart from the coin thing and if you have a trolley full but the person ahead of you has a basket. The Aldi I go to has stopped the “you can’t pack your bags at the till” thing and have slowed down a little. 000

Claire @claireph.bsky.social · 02/09/2026We are also starting AL stats this year. Tip one: when searching use “9ST0” which targets t AL stats and not all the other stuff you get.
