Self-checkout

A self-checkout kiosk is a type of computer, usually outfitted with a touchscreen display, that allows a user to purchase goods and services without the assistance of a staff member. The advantage of self-checkout kiosks is that they allow consumers to purchase goods on their own terms without having to wait for an employee to be free to help. Studies say that 66% of consumers prefer self-service options over interacting with store employees. Making self-service technology available for those customers who prefer it helps encourage repeat business as it keeps these consumers comfortable and happy as they shop.
