kiosks
Small retail stations
Kiosks is the plural of kiosk, a small freestanding structure or booth.
Originally an open pavilion, the word now covers newsstand-style booths, information stations, and self-service terminals: airline check-in kiosks, mall kiosks selling phone cases.
The electronic sense has grown dominant—touchscreen stations for tickets, payments, or registration.
