List Function: How to Remove Specific Related Records from the Results

Looking for a bit of help with the LIST and Substitute functions (I think).

Grocery Store mapping application.  An Item is in multiple locations in a single store.

Item: ABCD is in locations 1A, 5B, 12A and at all the Checkouts (in this example, 5 checkouts)

The table ITEM is the parent and the child table is SKU (which is all occurrences of an ITEM in a STORE)

Using List, I get this for Item ABCD

1A

5B

12A

Checkout

Checkout

Checkout

Checkout

Checkout

Nesting the list in Substitute to change the RETURNS to COMMAS and a trailing space and get this:

1A, 5B, 12A, Checkout, Checkout, Checkout, Checkout, Checkout

That is exactly what I want except I want to only return "Checkout" once no matter how many times the item is at the checkout in a store.  Checkout may appear zero or 1 times (so what I have works) or 2, 3, 4 or more times.  I need to remove those additional occurrences.  It must be done in the function (or in a script) but cannot be done in the child records.

I'm sure someone smarter than me can easily see how to do this!  Any suggestions would be appreciated!  Thanks in advance!
