Aldi’s new queuing system

Aldi is introducing a new traffic light system in order to control the number of customers in its stores and make sure social distancing measures are followed.

The chain has launched the automated system in select stores, after a trial saw successful results.

The new technology uses traffic lights to signal when customers can enter a store, making sure that there is enough space inside the store for two metre spaces between shoppers first.

A red light will show that customers need to wait, keeping the automatic doors closed.

However, when a space becomes free inside, the light will turn green and the doors will then open. The next customer in the queue can then go inside the supermarket.

Customers who are queuing outside are still asked to give priority to NHS and blue light workers, who are allowed to go to the front of the queue on their arrival.

This traffic light queuing system is set to be rolled out to all stores in coming months.
