checkout counter
Where transactions conclude
A checkout counter is the station in a retail store where customers pay for their purchases.
It typically includes a register, scanner, and space for bagging items.
The term applies both to staffed lanes and self-service kiosks: The checkout counters were packed during the holiday rush.
Also called simply checkout.
