Answer 2

I used to work for Safeway as stock management (not shelf stacker) Had these machines (if memory is correct) is called an S.E.T mahine. Self edge ticket i think. They are used to find out various things i.e stock quantity etc Staff scan the gaps/low spots and it sends it to the computer to order more stock. I would think this is used in most supermarkets, kind of like an e.p.o.s system  (o.s Ordering system i think)
