Abstract
The present disclosure describes a system (e.g., a self-checkout system) that includes a modifiable cabinet. The self-checkout system includes a cabinet, a scanner, a sleeve, and a panel. The cabinet includes a front side and a back side opposite the front side. The scanner is positioned on the cabinet. The scanner scans an item during checkout. The sleeve is positioned within the cabinet. The sleeve moves away from the front side of the cabinet and out the back side of the cabinet. The sleeve defines a chamber. The panel is positioned within the chamber. When the sleeve is moved away from the front side of the cabinet and out the back side of the cabinet, the panel folds down to create a shelf within the chamber.
