NCR TESTS NO-CASHIER EXPRESS LANE

NCR Corp. of Atlanta is letting customers do all the work when it comes to shopping. The company is testing its new self-checkout system in a grocery store chain in Kansas City. Using the self-checkout system, customers can scan, bag and pay for their groceries without the assistance of a cashier. The system's touch screen leads consumers through the checkout process, prompting them to scan items and complete the checkout by using a debit card, credit card or cash. NCR plans to launch the system in Canada by the second quarter of 1999. Currently, NCR is in negotiations with Canadian grocery store chains to use the system here.
