Changes over the years in Groceries Stores!

In the early days of grocery stores, products were generally served to you by an assistant from shelves behind the counters, while customers waited in front and indicated the items they wanted.
These Days I remember well, living in the country, we would only visit the store, once a month 20th, that was pay day, when we would get paid,and we paid for the supplies we had ordered, which we would order over the phone, and be delivered weekly, which you can do in 2009 at some supermarkets.

Supermarkets offer products at low prices by reducing their economic margins, to maintain a profit, supermarkets attempt to make up for the lower margins by a higher overall volume of sales.
Customers usually shop by placing their selected merchandise into shopping trollies or baskets (self-service) and pay for the merchandise at the check-out.
Which help to keep labour costs down, also some have self-checkout devices.

New World is the main Supermarket I use especially as they do have Fly Buys, which is another discount for me, as I get my bed linen for free with my Fly Buy Points.
New World has been a member of the Fly Buys program since that program started in September 1996.
It is a New Zealand supermarket chain and is part of the Foodstuffs cooperative. Now the only New Zealand privately own supermarket.
They tend to be smaller and more upscale than larger warehouse-type supermarkets, and are also more numerous throughout New Zealand, with many small towns having a New World.

New World is also one of New Zealand’s longest running supermarkets, being founded in the 1950
