The flowchart illustrates the sequential steps involved in the check-out procedure at a newly established retail store.
Overall, the process begins with greeting the customer and culminates in thanking them, incorporating various tasks and decision points throughout.
Initially, the process starts with a warm greeting aimed at the customer. Subsequently, the cashier scans the items to ascertain the total cost, which leads to a critical decision point where the customer chooses between cash or credit card payment. In cases where the customer opts for cash, the flow proceeds directly to taking the cash payment. After completing this transaction, the cashier issues a receipt and expresses gratitude towards the customer before concluding the check-out process.
Conversely, if the customer selects to pay via credit card, the next step involves scanning the card. Here, an additional decision point arises, determining whether the transaction is approved or not. If the credit card is accepted (‘Yes’), the cashier continues by providing the receipt as part of the conclusion. However, in case of a rejection (‘No’), the process loops back, necessitating a re-scanning of the card until a successful outcome is achieved, thereby ensuring that no payment is finalized without proper authorization.
