It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald. Lidl is rolling out new “fancy pants” self-checkout machines in all its UK stores. The machines feature overhead cameras, large vertical screens, and LED lights to alert staff when assistance is needed. Customers will even appear on the screens as they scan their items. The new self-checkouts will be installed in all new stores and gradually retrofitted into existing locations. Lidl’s parent company, Schwarz Group, is behind the design, which is also being introduced across hundreds of Lidl and Kaufland stores in Germany.
