Sense of humor is a skill social media proves to have again and again. Some real-life situations shared online are impossible to make up, but in a world full of contrasts and contradictions, we get comedy gold quite often.
Even though during our lifetime we experience a lot of silly situations, not everyone takes them lightheartedly. Luckily this is not the case on the subreddit r/comedyheaven where some of the funniest social media posts can be found. With that in mind, we invite you to look at laughter more seriously. Apart from helping you become more positive, having a good sense of humor is beneficial for your health. No wonder why people say ‘laughter is the best medicine’ - because it is actually true. Besides relieving stress, it improves your immune system and, obviously, your mood.
So, dear Pandas, let's make this year our healthiest yet and let this post be just the beginning of the most joyful and fulfilling 2023. For more laughter medicine, see our previous post here.

I can just imagine it now.... *Aldi worker frantically scanning groceries like each can of tomato soup is filled with spiders that might burst at any moment and give them an anti-vaxx speech*
Exactly what I was thinking. Basically all cashiers / supermarkets work like this in Germany.

I bet this noob tried to pack at the checkout. You fill the shopping trolley as fast as they scan the items and then go and pack at your own pace at the packing bench. Simples, lol.
Is this a British thing? Or a big city thing? I've never seen a "packing bench", but that's a really good idea.

This is actually because everything they do at the register is timed—this includes how many scans per minute, how many seconds between each transaction, etc.
Thank you for saying this. I can't believe there are people proudly announcing how they enjoy slowing down a cashier. No cashier wants to do that, they have to. They must in order to keep their job. Do this people think it's easy to keep that fast pace? Do they never wonder how exhausting it must be to do that for a whole shift, day after day. If they are so concerned why not outrage at the company who enforces this inhumane requirements in order for a cashier to keep their job instead of directing their outrage at the lowest level employee who has no power to change anything. Only reason I can think of it is because this employees are easy targets.

and when you're not fast enough as a customer, for example because you hurt your back, they will slow down.
When I worked for Sainsburys, back in the early 1990s, we had to be able to scan 21 items a minute.
Wimp! I hope her next visit she gets a faster Aldi worker who shouts cheerful comments like Terry Crews does when he gets over excited
It is a good day if I win the race at the Aldi-checkout .. haha. Preperation is everything..
I recall once upon a time the carts/trolleys had the front would. fold down. so customers would just slide items off and onto conveyor belt. The cashier knew the codes (pre scanner days) quickly type them into register and send items down to the lovely bagger. It actually worked very well....wonder why we don't do that any more.
Are You Seriously Asking Or Is That A Rhetorical Question?? If Asking: 1. Less Money Laid Out For Wages And Possibly Benefits. 2. The One No One Mentions Ever Anymore : Good Ole Fashioned Union Busting. Less Workers Equals Less Likelihood Of Workers Organizing. Why?? Less People Around To Talk To Each Other About Working Conditions And A Higher/Fast Paced Work Environment Increases Stress And Worker Isolation/Atomization. All Everyone Can Think About Is Themselves. Theyre Too Stressed And Overwhelmed At The End Of Their Shift To Do Anything Other Than Get Out Of Their As Quickly As Possible. 3. My Suspicion : All Jobs Like This Will Eventually Be Paid Piecemeal (Per Unit) Rather Than With An Hourly Wage. If You Can "Accurately" Quantify A Worker's Output Then Why Not Pay Them According To That Output?? This Is The "Logical" Next Step To Things Like Being Able To Track Number Of Items Moved/Scanned Per Quantity Of Time. The Employer Has Already In Essence Made This Transition

Oh you scanned my groceries wrong I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER in a deep demonic voice
I don't know the countries of the people in the comments. But your supermarkets suck 🤨
I hate my grocery store. The cashiers scan your stuff faster then you can get it on the belt, then you race to the other side to start packing, but they've already finished and bark out your total and you're stuck there with a block of cheese in one hand, fumbling out your card with the other, and their face makes you feel like you're holding up the line.
I found the check out process so anxiety provoking that I shopped there once, and never went back
Get prepared to check out in the checkout line and have some basic skill and efficiency to grocery shop. Bet they'd be first to b***h if the line moved slow. You can just put your groceries into your cart and get the f**k out of the way where slow bagging can be done away from people who have their s**t together. And letting this knock your confidence and near have a breakdown? I worry about her ability to parent or operate a car if this is too much.
"We all know Aldi checkouts are not for the faint hearted."
Who knew there was such a thing as extreme grocery shopping. (I live in an Aldi-less country so have not experienced this.)
Great Term For This. That Or: "Competitive Shopping". Yikes

I kinda had to get over my annoyance that they made twice the work for me because when I bring my own bags to a store I can super quickly get everything in there as their scanning stuff. Even if I could just put two open bags in the empty basket and they just put stuff in there it would help. I get it though, not everyone is fast here. I can remember the first store here that had customers bagging themselves, I would finish before the person who checked out after me. I will add I worked in grocery for years.
My husband got blatantly accused of being racist because he asked the girl to slow down. Duh.
Hey there. You can slow down. Uh, no need to go so quickly. Please... Stop. Just stop. It's too fast. hhow are you so fast?! Answer me! HOW ARE YOU SO FAST?? YOU ARE SCANNING THOSE SOUPS AT INHUMAN SPEEDS! How are you doing this!? Why are you so fast!? This shouldn't be possible... Please stop. WHAT ARE YOU? Some kind of all powerful soup god?!!? Oh Lord, I'm so scared. Please ma'am, just slow down. I don't know who I am anymore... Is any of this real?? *convulses into tears*
At least that's how I imagine it going down.

Why trying to keep up with it? Not my fault that they stopped having the bagging areas at the tills (2, when I was little, with a separator that the cashier would move, so your stuff wouldn't get mixed with the person behind you. If I have a cart, I pack into that. If I have a basket (which I'm to leave at the back of the conveyor belt) I'll pack. At my pace. I'm too old to let Aldi tell me how fast to pack. I will put stuff on the belt in order of packing, if the cashier mixes it up, I'll wait for the heavy items.
Just whack it all back in the trolley like Tetris and pack at your leisure on the big window ledge thing.
I remember before they had the scanners they were just as fast on the ten keypad.
I see this as a game! A mix of a race and tetris: how fast can I pack the groceries into my transport box, so that the weight and volume is evenly distributed? Often it is the cashier who wins this game, though.
they are also awesomely fast at shopping your groceries and bringing them to your car. I pull in, hit the button to say I'm there, open my hatch, get back in the car and there they are!
I have back and hip problems just grab my groceries at a pace comfortable for me. When the cashier tries to speed it up I slow it down. When there's no room left on their mini counter and they have to wait for me I secretly giggle inside a little as I turn down to exhausted snail pace.
Imagine if they still had to manually ring the prices up,your shopping bill would be all over the place.
So what happens at these places if you are disabled or elderly? Do they shame people for not being as fast as the cashiers? Sounds a bit ridiculous to me.
