cash registers

Store payment stations

Cash registers are machines that record sales transactions, calculate totals, and store money.

The traditional version has a drawer that springs open with a distinctive ring when a sale is completed.

Modern registers are computerized point-of-sale systems that track inventory and process card payments, but the term persists: She counted the cash registers at closing time.
