A method, system, and computer program product for providing self-checkout services is provided. The method includes activating a detection element within an item repository in response to the initiation of a transaction, the detection element monitoring the presence of personal items placed in the item repository. The transaction includes performing a purchase transaction that includes processing items for purchase. Upon completion of the purchase transaction, the method determines if any personal items remain in the item repository. If so, the transaction includes recursively presenting a reminder message to the customer to remove the personal items and waiting a specified period of time while monitoring for removal of the personal items until each of the personal items have been removed, a total specified period of time has elapsed, or a specified number of reminder messages presented has been reached. If each of the personal items has been removed from the item repository, the method includes ending the transaction.
