returns desk

Exchange processing station

A returns desk is a designated counter in a retail store where customers bring back merchandise for refunds, exchanges, or store credit.

Most large stores separate this function from regular checkout to handle the paperwork and inspection involved: There was a long line at the returns desk after Christmas.
