I used to do Tier 4 support for a now-defunct (3rd Largest) grocery store in the US, and NCR has a stranglehold on this market. Every Self-CheckOuT lane with the same voice is probably an unbranded NCR SCOT. I've seen them in Home Depot, Loblaw's/Superstore, and even in some surprising locations (a nursery/greenhouse). Everyone uses the same terminals. It's been ripe for disruption for nearly a decade now.
LemonPOS[1] has been around for ages, is Free Software, and works great. It'd take very little effort to undercut the big guys in this market with a tiny agile startup.
