Cash or Laser

I don't quite understand why Aldi need to know so early in proceedings whether I choose to pay by cash or laser [1]. They ask the question before even processing my items through checkout. It's way too early. They clearly don't want to ask the question cos they're sick of asking that question to everybody. So they just kind of look at you first and try and prompt you to answer the question they haven't asked yet. I'm no fool, I know the drill but I still make them ask the question. I'm not buying into that bullshit.
"Cash or laser?", they'll ask.
"Laser", I'll invariably reply.
Where the hell am I gonna get €63, 40 in hard cash?
Laser, for the way we live today.

[1] switch, debit card, whatever
