Abstract: A checkout system includes a front module, a rear module, and a bagging module. The bagging module includes a rotatable support surface and an extendible support, which is adapted for supporting at least one bag. The extendible support is mounted to the rotatable support surface and is movable between an operable position wherein a bag supported by the extendible support is positioned for loading items into the supported bag from the front module and a stowed position wherein an uppermost portion of the extendible support is lowered below the upper surfaces of the front module and the rear module.
