Supermarket checkout
A checkout lane is built around the scanner: every scan adds the item, multi-buys and price breaks apply as the basket grows, and the customer follows along on their own display.
Scan, weigh, pay
Barcodes, carton barcodes that sell 24, and price-embedded labels from the deli scale, all on the same lane.
Put a sale aside
Park a basket while a customer fetches something, serve the next one, then pick it up again.
Unknown barcodes
A code the till does not know is kept on a list in the back office, to be linked to the right product.
Age-restricted items
Alcohol and other restricted items ask the cashier to confirm the customer's age.
