A busy town supermarket is the latest to have self-serve checkouts installed.

Lidl, on Austin Street in Lynn, now has a total of six of the machines towards the end of its store.

It means that Lidl has just two manned checkouts operated by cashiers.

Lidl, which is normally closed at 10pm, was shut at 7pm on some days last week, which is thought to be when the new checkouts were installed.

The new self-checkouts require customers to scan a receipt to open a gate in order to leave the store.
