Seven major checkout changes at high street shops including Next and Aldi – see if your local is affected A NUMBER of shops and supermarkets have made changes to their check outs already this year.
Anne Godfrey, chief executive of GS1 UK, said almost half of British retailers have already updated their tills to accommodate scanning the new codes.
The shop's boss, Lord Wolfson said that Next would not be making redundancies but would not be replacing staff or hiring as many as it planned going forward.
From Aldi to Next, some of the biggest names on the high street are shaking up their self-checkouts or introducing new charges or processes to cut costs or make the experience smoother.
The tills are already used by a limited number of retailers including Uniqlo, to speed up checkout times and free up staff's time.
