Self-checkout kiosks are automated machines found in many grocery stores and retail shops that allow customers to scan and pay for their items without the assistance of a cashier. Users can place their items on a scale, scan barcodes, and complete their transactions using a touchscreen interface. This system aims to speed up the checkout process and reduce wait times. These kiosks typically accept various payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards, and sometimes mobile payments. They often include features like bagging assistance and prompts to guide users through the checkout process, making it user-friendly for shoppers of all ages.
