Zusammenfassung:	A system for operating a plurality of self-checkout (SCO) terminals of an SCO surface area of a retail store includes a central camera to capture an overview image of the SCO surface area, and a central control unit. The central control unit includes a memory, and a central processing unit configured to identify a non-scan event at an SCO terminal, check if the number of other already locked SCO terminals is less than a first threshold, lock the SCO terminal if the number of other locked SCO terminals is less than the first threshold, check if a number of consecutive non-scan events at the SCO terminal has reached a second threshold, if the number of other locked SCO terminals has reached the first threshold, and lock the SCO terminal, if the number of consecutive non-scan events detected at the SCO terminal has reached the second threshold.
