Abstract: A method of checking out bulky products at a retail check-out counter having a stationary countertop bar code scanner alleviates having to lift heavy or bulky products onto the counter. Cards are assembled into a booklet that allows them to fold out. Each of the cards has a bar code and the name of one of the bulky products. When a bulky product is brought by a purchaser to the check-out counter, the clerk identifies the particular card, folds it out from the booklet and moves the card over the scanner.
