supermarket checkout

Store payment point

The checkout is the area in a supermarket where customers pay for their purchases.

It typically consists of a conveyor belt, scanner, and register staffed by a cashier, though self-checkout stations are increasingly common.

The lines at checkout were impossibly long.

The phrase sometimes refers to the entire transaction process: I grabbed a magazine at checkout.
