The coffee maker was so cheap that when I went through the self-checkout, I thought the item wasn't scanned - but it was. Yes sir, miracles do happen every day - it's the miracle of Walmart.
The Aldi cashiers have a habit of double scanning one item. If you don't catch them I guess they can collect back the over-charging at days end and keep it for themselves. I caught 2 checkers this year. I figure they are in cahoots with the store manager. Beware you Aldi newbies in SoCal.
