The supermarket Aldi, notoriously, does not supply baskets for customers, only trolleys. Most people don't take one and then only buy as much as they can carry in their hands.
The procedure, apparently is this. Take a trolley and walk round the shop to pick up what you want, then go to the checkout and put the stuff on the moving belt. Then put the trolley in the recessed space beyond the cashier. As the cashier checks out the goods, put them back in the trolley. After you have paid, you wheel the trolley over to the shelf by the exit and put the things in your bag. Then put the trolley back and get your deposit back.
The advantage is that you are not having to rush to put your things in your shopping bag while the next customer's stuff is piling up behind you. Pity the shop does not explain this as it is far from obvious.
