Self-Checkout Growth Changes Payment Habits at SupermarketsBy spring 2026, Lidl plans half its German stores with self-checkout, raising concerns about cash payment accessibility.
- Lidl and Kaufland are expanding self-checkout lanes to reduce wait times and offer more payment options to shoppers.
- Kaufland operates over 270 stores with self-checkout, many accepting cash, while Lidl aims for 50% store coverage by spring 2026.
- Self-checkout lanes complement staffed registers, allowing employees to focus on other tasks and customers to choose payment methods freely.
- Consumer advocates warn that declining cash acceptance might exclude vulnerable groups, though nearly 99% of retailers still accept cash payments.
The acceptance of cash for payments in retail, gastronomy, and public administration services is continuously decreasing.— Dorothea Mohn, financial expert of the Federal Association, warns about the consequences of decreasing cash acceptance.
