When I was growing up 60+ years ago, we had little corner grocery stores. Usually family-owned with a little butcher shop in the back. Ours actually would deliver groceries to your house.
Times changed. Big supermarkets started appearing. Less personal service and you probably had to drive a considerable distance further, but oh.. the prices were so much cheaper and the selection was so much greater. Now, virtually no little corner stores.
Maybe we should have had a government stepping to to save those little stores. Because certainly they deserved to survive as much as the independent bookstores do today.
