self-checkout
Unmanned payment station
Self-checkout is a system where customers scan and pay for purchases themselves rather than having a cashier do it.
The machines are ubiquitous in grocery stores and big-box retailers: I used the self-checkout to avoid the long lines.
The term also describes the area where these machines are located: The self-checkout was down to one working kiosk.
