A store furnishing includes a cash-register unit for recording items of goods selected for purchase and for receiving payment for the goods selected, the cash- register unit being divided into at least one recording unit (11) and a payment unit (16) which is separate from the recording unit (11). The recording unit (11) is arranged to record different part transactions relating to the goods selected, to total-up the part transactions, to produce a reference number, and to transfer the totalling result and reference number to the payment unit (16), which dispenses the totalling result and/or reference number when one of these pieces of data is fed into the unit. Recording is effected manually or automatically. The payment unit (16) is provided with means for erasing information recorded in the register (161) when this information is fed out from the register, means for producing a warning signal when the reference number presented by a customer has no correspondence in the register (161) or when recorded information has not been fed-out within a given period of time, and a weighing unit for simultaneously weighing all of the items of goods selected by a customer. In large store complexes, the number of recording units should exceed the number of payment units by at least one, and should preferably be at least twice as great.
