self checkout
Unmanned payment station
Self checkout is a system in retail stores where customers scan and pay for their own items without a cashier.
The setup typically includes a barcode scanner, bagging area, and payment terminal: The self checkout line was shorter than the regular lanes.
Also spelled self-checkout.
The experience ranges from efficient to maddening depending on the machine's sensitivity to "unexpected item in bagging area."
