Interesting, it works the other way around here. You get a portable barcode gun that you carry around the store or put in a sort of cup holder on the cart.

So I always bring a bag or a foldable crate, throw everything in while shopping and then put that in the car.

I'm in the US, and we have both. It varies by store. Some have scan-as-you-go, some have self-checkout with fixed scanners, some have gun scanners. My personal preference is gun scanners at self checkout.
