I just shopped at Aldi and the checkout operator (who was actually the deputy manager) was pressing one key on the till 20 times when I'd bought 20 of one thing. When I looked at her with a confused expression, she explained that they'd been told by head office to do that, as apparently the computer only registers it once for stock control if you type in a quantity of 20, even though it manages to bill the customer correctly. I told her it sounded like utter nonsense and she agreed, while handing me a very very long till receipt. She said she's going to have a discussion with them.
