A supermarket-type check-out counter is formed of a forward customer unloading module and a rear bagging module. A pair of transversely spaced apart conveyors interconnect the two modules. The check-out operator stands in the space between the modules and between the conveyors to receive goods which are placed by a customer upon a movable belt carried upon the unloading module for movement of goods towards the operator. An indicia scanning device is mounted within the portion of the unloading module adjacent the operator and rearwardly of the belt. Thus, the operator, using both hands, removes goods from the belt, slides the goods over the scanning device, and then slides the goods rearwardly upon either of the two conveyors, on either side of the operator, so that the goods are conveyed to the upper surface of the bagging module for subsequent placing within bags.
