Aldi trials self-service checkouts in Dublin

Aldi will be trialling self-service checkout systems in Dublin.

The grocery giant has rolled out the new technology following the popularity of its first self-checkout system in Monread, Naas, Co Kildare. A number of these trial checkouts will be available at the following Co Dublin stores: Sallynoggin, Newlands Cross, and Coolock.

Throughout June and July, 16 further stores – in counties Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Kerry, Cavan, and Clare – will see self-service checkouts come into operation.
