It was the mom and pop grocery store we went to before the big box stores took over. My mother made a list and we followed it. It wasn't very big but seemed to have everything we needed.
Sometimes we brought the groceries home in a wagon and once I remember a sled. I imagine both with disasterous results.
There was a boy who delivered groceries and when there was an order for delivery the cashier would hit the floor with her broom stick to signal him.
There was a gumball machine by the door that we liked to check in case someone forgot to collect their gum or left a penny behind. Hope springs eternal.
