The sales checkout counter (1) contains a roll (3) of carrier bags coiled onto it and attached to one another and a feed device (4-7) in order to transport the bags to a basket or trolley (13) located in a recess (2) where the individual bag is separated and opened. When the bag has been filled with articles, it is taken out of the recess by means of the basket (13) so that the customer can receive it with the articles accommodated therein and further repacking is no longer necessary. <IMAGE>
