Supermarket Self Checkout @ Japan

Hi Steemians,

Today I would like to share the experience I had at a countryside supermarket in Japan when visited late last year. In Sydney, there are already self-serve checkout counters but this is the first time I’ve seen it in Japan from memory.

Everything on display at the checkout is in Japanese but it was pretty straightforward.

Firstly, scan the items with the barcodes on them. If they are too hard to scan, there is a handheld machine which you can also use to scan the barcode. Once you have scanned the items, place them in the bagging area. If you have purchased items that require you to choose from the menu, you can also select that on the screen.

Once you have scanned your buys and everything is bagged, you can check out. If you have been to Japan before, you would notice the supermarkets will provide chopsticks and smaller bags for cold/wet items to put in the larger shopping bags. They are also available at the self-checkout counters. I have paid in cash so you can tell from the timer it is thinking. Then they print out a receipt, give you some change and remind you to take your items with you.

Although everything is in Japanese, it was pretty straightforward so do give it a go when you see them next time.

 

大家好，今日想跟大家分享一下在日本一些自動收銀機是怎樣用的．在大城市好像沒有看見這類收銀機但在比較遠的農村就有這類的自動收銀機．在澳洲我們已經日常用所以已經有一點經驗．雖然這些只是全是日文但其實的時候非常簡單。首先掃條形碼之後就放物件到膠袋裏。之後如果需要細膠袋或筷子亦可以在這裏找到。付錢的時候可以用建交或信用卡．之後他們會因一張收據，找錢和有顯示提提你記住拿東西回家．
