ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for checking out an item through a self-service checkout station which includes a scanner which generates a first signal when the scanner detects a machine readable code associated with an item, a sensor which generates a second signal when the sensor detects a motion used to scan the item across the scanner, a recorder which generates a visual recording of the motion used to scan the item across the scanner, and a processing unit coupled to the scanner, the sensor and the recorder which causes the recorder to playback the visual recording on a display monitor when the processing unit receives the second signal but not the first signal.
