German term or phrase: Schlagertisch
"Verkauf von Schnittblumen aus Schlagertischen" - this is from a supermarket chain, cannot think of the correct term for the Schlagertisch here despite knowing what is meant.

Any tips most welcome

Explanation:
Personal experience. Right after I came to the US I worked as an in-house graphic designer at a retail chain. We called those tables with marked-down goods or stuff that was on sale the "sales tables".

at our local Interspar market they do so! for those who are waiting in the queue at the cash register they often have those "loose goods tables" where (amongst other things) small bouquets are offered in a pot with water. for obvious reasons flowers probably sell best close to the cash register

Notes to answerer
Asker: sounds good, but can fresh-cut flowers be sold fom these??


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Iris Schlagheck-Weber: Stephen, Aldi sells fresh-cut flowers from such tables. The flowers are put into buckets which are in return placed on loose goods tables before the cash desks.
