The identification assembly is operable to identify a nature of an item of customer's interest, and generate data indicative of information related to the item of interest to be presented to the customer. The control unit has a processing system responsive to the generated data indicative of the information related to the item to generate data indicative of the entire sum to be paid by the customer which is to be presented to the customer.
