A check-out counter table has a commodity receiving wall which extends leftwardly and rightwardly of a vertical type bar code reader having a reading window formed in a front wall thereof. A stopper adapted to present a high contacting resistance is provided at a location on the commodity receiving wall directly forwardly of the bar code reader on the carrying in side for a basket. When a basket is pulled toward an operator and slipped on the commodity receiving wall, it is always stopped at a fixed position by the stopper.
