Abstract
A check-out counter includes a side frame which has an entrance-side end and an exit-side end. A top plate is provided on the side frame and has a longitudinal direction. An accounting terminal is provided on the top plate. The top plate comprises a first end surface at the entrance-side end, a second end surface extending in the longitudinal direction from the entrance-side end to the exit-side end, and a circular rounded corner provided between the first end surface and the second end surface. The corner confronts an entrance part of an access lane related to the check-out counter and has a radius large enough for a customer to avoid interference with the corner when entering the access lane.
