Abstract A supermarket trolley monitoring system is provided for detecting shopping items on a lower shelf of the trolley as the trolley moves through a check-out station. Three transmitter/receivers are provided. The first and third at level A respond to light reflected by a panel 36 on the side of the trolley. The system is turned on when the panel 36 passes the first transmitter/receiver and off when the panel 36 passes the second transmitter/receiver. The second transmitter/receiver is mounted above A and if any object is detected while the system is ON, by reflection of the beam from the object, a warning is provided to alert a check-out assistant and/or a shopper that an item is present on the lower trolley shelf which may not have been entered in a till.
