In order to explain this subreddit's massive success we need to get a little academic. Part of its appeal could probably be understood with the incongruity theory of humor.
According to Dr. Alex Borgella, who is an assistant professor of psychology at Fort Lewis College, it "suggests that we find fundamentally incompatible concepts or unexpected resolutions funny. Basically, we find humor in the incongruity between our expectations and reality."

This is similar to the techniques of stand-up comedians today — they speak of the set-up and the punch (line).
The set-up is the first part of the joke and it creates the expectation while the punch (line) is the last part that violates that expectation. In the language of the incongruity theory, the joke’s ending is incongruous with the beginning.
Indeed, many of the posts on 'Comedy Heaven' involve setups that lead to unexpected punchlines, such as a girl who drew a picture of her cat and thanked the vet for "carefully removing its testicles," or a chat between two people discussing Roe vs. Wade, only for one to reply they don't watch boxing.

Aaaaand...that's how egregious, draconian laws are passed; too few folks are aware of and/or care about the effects of laws that they don't think about or think will affect them. No one cares until it happens to them.

The "slap heard 'round the world" wasn't a big deal to Odie and Nermel. They are more fans of the Golden Globes.
The first philosopher to use the word incongruous when analyzing humor was James Beattie (1779).
When we see something funny, he said, our laughter "always proceeds from a sentiment or emotion, excited in the mind, in consequence of certain objects or ideas being presented to it."

Our laughter "seems to arise from the view of things incongruous united in the same assemblage."
And the cause of humorous laughter is "two or more inconsistent, unsuitable, or incongruous parts or circumstances, considered as united in one complex object or assemblage, as acquiring a sort of mutual relation from the peculiar manner in which the mind takes notice of them," Beattie thought.

If you ask, they will slow down. I know it's a revolutionary idea, but it works.
I once had my son get his little toddler leg stuck in the trolley, he's screaming and I'm trying to prise it out, the Aldi cashier just kept scanning at full speed, didn't stop even though items were falling off the end.
I went with my roommate in college and we were treated like outsiders and didn't know the rules about the checkout. I don't think I went back for 20 years.

Honestly, if you are legitimately traumatized by a fast cashier, end yourself. This world is not for you
all their products have the UPC on every side, so the cashier just swipes. It moves the line faster meaning less checkout lanes are necessary. Every Aldi I go to has a cart next to checkout that they load into, being replaced by your cart. They have wheely cages in the aisles full of boxes from the product refill. Take the cart and your empty boxes to the wall length shelf and organize to your liking for carry out. I use the unloaded boxes at home for cat hideouts until i fill them with my recycling and box goes too. They have nice products at lower prices. I have PTSD, agoraphobia, anxiety. I enjoy not having to wait in line long..If you need to, just watch checkout area before shopping for good and cheap avocados ( alligator pears - depending on your area)
What country do you live in? Here in germany we definitly don't have that. But I've heard that, compared to other countries grocery shopping in germany is quite stressful
Load More Replies... When we got our first Aldi (almost 30 yrs. ago), the cashiers didn't have barcode scanners and nothing had price stickers on them. They actually had to memorize the cost of everything. Despite that, they were still the fastest cashiers in the city. It was very satisfying to watch their fingers fly across the keys on their register.
There's a huge shelf bout 4 ft behind a till to sort/pack ur shopping!!
Bet she was one of those d***s who try to bag at the till instead of going over to the bench.
We got an Aldi, in my town a couple years ago. Even though, I worked at a different grocery store at the time, it quickly became my go-to for shopping. I love the speed of checking out, bagging my stuff how I like, and especially the lack of, policy enforced, pointless chit chat, from the cashier. And, the prices are pretty good, too. Dang, now I sound like an Aldi ad.
I'd feel the same, and so apparently do many other Germans. Walmart tried to establish their business here a couple of years ago. Didn't work out. For one thing German (or European in general) workers' protection laws weren't to their taste. On the other end of the cultural gap customers and staff were annoyed about obligatory team building exercises or "greeters" welcoming shoppers or wishing them a nice day. We're polite and expect politeness in return, but forced enthusiasm is creepy. The cashier is there for the money, and I'm there for milk, eggs, a bar of chocolate, and the deal on ham. Thanks, bye.

I cope just fine, but then I bring a crate to put my groceries in...
You have checkers? We have crappy self-checkout tablets that are more likely to multi-scan the same item as to not scan it at all.
I saw this a while back on a Facebook Aldi page. The general consensus was: wimp! Aldi customers are not known for their empathy, it would seem 😁
good news (?) now they have self-checkout registers & she can go as slow as she needs to not stress!
Went to Aldi. Have Post traumatic bought-food stress disorder (PBFSD) now.
It’s the farting , the snarling and the long fangs that put me off more than the speed
Supposedly what you are meant to do is put your staff back in the trolley then go over to the packing area. Stuff that we are British and don't impose your German Automation on us. My parents generation did not go through being bombed to have to put up with us having our groceries launched at us.
been shopping aldi for at least 45 years. if they go too fast, i slow down. I cant remember they ever had the stuff falling on the ground, apart from once when i was a kid, with my mom. She gave him hell about it.
I have not gone to an Aldi, but after reading this, I don't think my anxiety will allow it lol
no, it's better than it sounds . Yes, they scan fast , that's all. .. just put your purchase in your sack as they ring, if you have large order they put it in a cart that you can organize bagging/free boxing at your own pace at a wall length shelf behind registers. Just have your method of payment ready. and if you need time it's given.. at least in NJ.

They have to be fast because much of the food is so close to the expiration date.
