Abstract of the Disclosure There is disclosed a checkout system for use in a supermarket or other retail merchandise store or the like. The checkout system includes a stand alone label scanner device for scanning data bearing labels on the merchandise items having a discharge area and a bag supporting cart pivotally secured at one end to a pivot member mounted on the floor remote from the discharge area of the scanning device for supporting bags in an open position to receive merchandise items. Associated with the bagging cart is a counter shelf member pivotally attached to the cart. Slidably mounted on the shelf member is a shelf extension member. In one mode of operation the cart is positioned adjacent the discharged end of the scanning device to allow the checkout operator to move in one motion the merchandise items past the scanning device and into a bag located on the cart. In a second mode of operation, the cart is pivoted away from the scanning divide where the counter shelf and its extension are moved to a position engaging the scanning unit to allow a bagger operator to continue to receive items from the scanning unit for loading into the same bags. The use of a bagging cart which can be selectively mounted on the floor in any position with respect to the checkout area allows the arrangement of the checkout area to be varied depending on the overall checkout system desired.
