Aldi's here is booming and people who shop there know they will
have bag their own groceries.

At Aldi's the checker has an empty cart turned sideways at the
end of the aisle (she is seated while ringing you up). As she
rings up your purchases she places them in her empty cart. After
you've paid you roll her cart over to a looooooong hip high shelf
to do your bagging/boxing. The checker then takes your empty cart
places where the previous one was ready for the next shopper.
