What is a "counter"?

A counter refers to a flat surface or platform used in commercial or service settings, such as in retail stores, banks, or offices. It is typically where transactions are conducted, customer services are provided, or goods are displayed. Counters are made from materials like wood, metal, or glass and are designed to be sturdy and functional. In many cases, they are designed to be at a comfortable height for standing or sitting, and they may include storage or compartments for supplies or paperwork. Counters help organize workspaces and serve as focal points for customer interaction.
