Have you seen Koha's "very basic self checkout module"?
http://koha-community.org/documentation/3-2-manual/?ch=x7980

You can see a demo of it here:

Login as username demo, password demo.

Since all the checkout requires is the card number of a user, it seems
awfully easy to tamper with the accounts of other users than your own
with this system...
