Aldi insiders reveal secret behind supermarket's small checkouts

Aldi insiders have revealed the secret behind the supermarket's small check-outs.

The German chain is outperforming its competitors and its ability to keep prices low is a key factor.

Some of the tricks the retailer uses to keep prices low were revealed in a Channel Five documentary, reports Mirror Online .

The show featured ex-staff and experts who revealed the clever ploys Aldi uses, including the use of small checkouts.
