ABSTRACT:
A retail checkout station includes a product scanning portion and a product support member. A bagging portion is arranged at a second end portion of the product support member. The bagging portion includes a first end, a second end and an intermediate zone for supporting articles scanned at the product scanning portion. A product transport is provided on the intermediate portion of the product support member. The product transport includes a transport assembly having a first end section extending from a position adjacent the product scanning portion to a second end section that terminates adjacent the first end of the bagging portion. A plurality of barrier members are arranged between the second end section of the transport assembly and the second end of the bagging portion. The plurality of barrier members are selectively deployable to serve as an intra-order separator that shields at least one product resting in the bagging portion from other products.
