ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a store arrangement for purchasing articles in a self-service store according to a self-registration system whereby a client himself registers articles selected by him with a scanner. The store arrangement includes at least one identification device for recognizing a client and a readout station for reading out the articles registered with the scanner. The store arrangement further comprises a paying station for paying in electronic manner and without intervention of store personnel for articles read from the scanner by the readout station, and for clearing a passage for the client to leave the store when the articles have been paid for in electronic manner.
