Given the shoplifting problem in cities, I would no be surprised to see a return to this model of operation. Actually, it may have already begun in some locations.Most of us are too young to remember the day when you would go to the store, place an order, and wait for the shop keeper to fill your order to take home. I think it was Piggly Wiggly that was the first one that allowed the customer to go in and select their own goods. I wonder if people complained about “I don’t work for them” back then too.
