The most used are the semi-display counters that go with the glass lid and a small front of between 12 and 20 cm of glass way that will allow us to see the products exposed inside. However, there’s also a blind space to lodge the computer equipment, musical device or the personal objects of the person who works in the store. In this type of counters, impulsive purchase items are often added as complements or products of reduced size.
Another important point to consider when choosing a checkout counter for your store is its location within the premises. You should always look for an area that does not take much space to display product. Most times, it is placed in front of the warehouse door so that it will be our private workspace. If the shop where the counter is to be placed is large, a U-shaped counter can be placed in the center of the store, which will allow us to delimit the client's journey and the clerk will have from that point an overall view of the entire store.
