Was there ever such a time? Even old country stores have aisles with merchandise.
Queer now that some stores are locking up a lot of inventory. I mean if I have to hunt down a clerk to get a tube of toothpaste for me, I'll just buy it somewhere else. They're actually locking up toothpaste now.

Yes. I went to a lecture once about the history of supermarkets given during a lunch provided by my job People would take a woven basket and a shopping list to the general stores at the time and the clerk would fill up the basket with merchandise kept behind the counter. I often wonder how people born in the 1880's reacted to having to wander the aisles in the 1950's. |

The first UK supermarket opened near where I live but 10 years before I was born. heritagecalling.com/2023/01/12/how-englands-first-self-service-store-heralded-the-birth-of-the-modern-supermarket/ |
