Second Embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the first product registration and settlement apparatus 10 is rounded up by the settlement means 11 that rounds up the final settlement amount less than 1000 yen, and the settlement means 11. And a charge unit 12 for charging the amount to a membership card held by the purchase customer. And the customer operation type cash settlement apparatus 15 is comprised so that a price settlement process may be performed only with a banknote. Other configurations are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment shown in FIGS.

  In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the same parts as those in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 to FIG.

  According to the present embodiment, the final settlement amount less than 1000 yen is rounded up by the settlement means 11, and the amount rounded up by the settlement section 11 by the charge unit 12 is charged to the membership card possessed by the purchase customer. It is charged as a point (see FIG. 6). Then, in the customer operation type cash settlement apparatus 15, the price settlement process is performed only with bills.

  For this reason, the purchase customer can perform the price settlement process without using coins in the customer-operated cash settlement apparatus 15, and can quickly perform the price settlement. Moreover, since a heavy coin is not accommodated in the customer operation type cash settlement apparatus 15, but only a banknote is accommodated, collection | recovery of money (collection | collection of a banknote) can be performed easily. Furthermore, since it is only necessary to provide the banknote processing unit 60, and no need to provide the coin processing unit 70, the initial investment can be kept low (see FIG. 7).

  Moreover, since the amount rounded up by the settlement means 11 by the charging unit 12 is charged to the membership card, the repeat rate of the purchased customer can be improved. Note that the point rate may be increased when the membership card is charged.

  The final settlement amount mentioned above is not only the total price of the registered purchased product, but also the remaining amount after paying with the charge point charged to the membership card from the total price of the registered purchased product. It also means the balance remaining when paying part of it with non-cash.

  By the way, although it demonstrated above, the price settlement process in the customer operation type cash settlement apparatus 15 was performed only with the banknote (the customer operation type cash settlement apparatus 15 performs only the deposit / withdrawal process of a banknote), but this was demonstrated. However, the customer-operated cash settlement apparatus 15 may be configured to perform a coin deposit process in addition to a bill deposit / withdraw process.

  As described above, when the customer-operated cash settlement apparatus 15 performs the coin deposit process, the purchased customer does not have banknotes and has only coins (for example, when there are only two 500-yen coins). Even so, it is possible to perform the payment processing, which is beneficial. In this case, the customer operation type cash settlement apparatus 15 needs to have not only the banknote processing unit 60 but also the coin processing unit 70.
