Grocery Shopping
Our pioneer ancestors shopped by entering a grocery and giving the clerk their shopping list. The clerk then collected the goods and collected the money at the front counter. Clarence Saunder's changed all this in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1916. He thought: "Why not have the customer come in and just pick up the goods off the shelves themselves?" This concept would lead to the "supermarket", the self-service grocery store!!
