"In my head, if the goods are set on one of those moving belt gizmos the whole set-up is a checkout.
The thingy with the buttons and the drawer of cash underneath is a till.
The megamarket out in the country with a huge carpark has checkouts.

Ok, so a lot of people agreed with the "tills". However, now you state that "a till" may be the wrong word. So now I will make my questions clearer by giving you a visual example.
Question: How do you call the PLACE itself where these people are standing and the cashiers are sitting? I'm talking about huge supermarkets with a lot of such places (sometimes up to 30 such places).
