In the cafeteria style or “Piggly Wiggly” groceries, the storerooms were all planned alike, and every shelf had a designated and uniform place for the particular kind of groceries allotted to that particular space and the grocery shelves were arranged to conform to the storeroom shelves. One hundred of the registers were to be delivered at once and the remainder from time to time as new stores are opened up. ![]() ![]() This order called for 1,030 receipt printing registers of the Class 800 type.

Instead of a clerk to assist individual customer needs behind a counter, there were open aisles, open shelves with individually-packaged products to select from, shopping baskets and check-out stands. Self-service stores came to be known as “groceterias” due to the fact that they were reminiscent of the cafeteria-style eateries that were gaining popularity at the time. Piggly Wiggly stores (established by Clarence Saunders in Memphis in 1916) are widely credited with introducing America to self-service shopping, revolutionizing the grocery industry. These were counter-service stores owners/workers were hands on with each customer, pulling individual needs out of bulk jars or bins and packaging each for each customer on the other side of the counter. Butchers and greengrocers (produce vendors) were completely separate entities, although they tended to cluster together for convenience’s sake. Grocers sold what is known as “dry grocery” items, or canned goods and other non-perishable staples. Grocery stores of that era tended to be small (generally less than a thousand square feet) and also focused on only limited aspects of food retailing. The late-19th and early-20th centuries were the age of the independent mom-and-pop store. Today, we take for granted the convenience of comparing and choosing from a wide range of prepackaged products, placing them in our shopping carts and going through a checkout.
