Italian term or phrase: Uscita senza acquisti
Riferito alla corsia del supermercato dove si esce senza acquisti. I'm racking my brains but I just can't remember what it's called in English. Can anyone help?

Explanation:
I can remember no such thing in the UK either, but I think it can be translated and explained in the same three words.
