Aldi's new checkout-free store in Greenwich has introduced a £10 entry charge, sparking outrage among customers. The store requires a pre-payment, which is then deducted from the final bill. However, shoppers who spend less than £10 or leave without making a purchase may face a wait for a refund, raising concerns over convenience and customer experience. This innovative technology aims to enhance the shopping experience, but the additional fee may deter some customers. With the rise of cashless stores and digital payments, Aldi's move is seen as a bold step towards a futuristic retail model, using popular technologies like mobile payments and self-service checkouts.
