A checkout terminal (100) for customers in a retail store. The terminal (100) provides a path for products from a loading conveyor section (110), via a scanning section (120) and a common transfer conveyor section (130), to reach a respective one of a plurality of plurality of packing stations (140) to be bagged or packed by or for the customer. Conveniently, three of these packing stations (140A, 140B, 140C) are arranged substantially parallel to each other. Each packing station (140) may be associated with a corresponding payment interface (150). Customer throughput is increased by providing multiple packing areas associated with one loading and scanning area, and customer convenience is improved by the faster and more efficient configuration of the checkout terminal (100). |
