ABSTRACT:
A checkstand has a pivotable cash register stand and a counter across from the cash register stand onto which groceries or other items are unloaded. The checkstand generally defines one side of a customer aisle adjacent the counter and a separate cart aisle lying between the other side of the counter and the cash register stand. The cash register stand pivots to a blocking position in the cart aisle to prevent passage of shopping carts through the cart aisle when a shopping cart is being unloaded onto the counter, and subsequently pivots to an open position out of the path of the cart aisle to permit the unloaded shopping cart to exit through the cart aisle. Preferably, a stationary wall unit is mounted adjacent the cash register stand. In order to prevent the shopping carts from accidentally bumping and damaging the checkstand, the cash register stand, unloading counter, and wall unit each have a bumper, preferably in the form of a rotatable wheel or roller, to rotatably engage and guide the shopping cart through the cart aisle.
