    but is there no more common term for this conveyor belt?

    So I went shopping the other day and unloaded my cart onto the conveyor belt.

    It's just the checkout dude, but I don't believe there's a more generic term for it

    When we get to the register, I tell my wife, start unloading the cart on the belt, and when we get home make me a samwich with some of those cold cuts we bought.
