Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0449248A1] The invention relates to a method for the purchase of goods in a self-service shop, in which shopping trolleys are provided which are intended to carry a container which is capable of changing its position and, in the position of use, is designed to receive the goods to be purchased. The method employs a recording station or till to determine the total price of the goods purchased. It further employs at least one carrier belonging to the customer, which the customer brings with him to make his purchases and which he takes home again, containing his goods, after the purchasing operation. During the purchasing operation, the carrier can only be deposited in a non-use position on the shopping trolley. After purchasing, and after removal of the goods from the container, the container is moved into a position of non-use. As a result, the one or more carriers can be brought into the position of use, loaded with goods and then carried in the shopping trolley, for example to the car. <IMAGE>
