   I worked in a National Food Store about 60 years ago. Stocked shelves, changed price stamps/stickers on products, weighed and marked your produce (added a few cents if I had seen you snacking on the fruit), wrote the refund slips when you returned bottles, and then had to sort all the different bottles to get them back to the right places.
