Help Yourself Cafeteria
An American time and laboursaving idea is being tried out at a Wood Green, London, store. In cafeteria style, shoppers take a wire hold-all round the shop selecting their purchases from the counters. Apart from the manager and a girl to weigh out vegetables, no sales staff is needed. Delay is cut to the minimum when the housewife takes the goods to the cash desk, where one girl points and another tots up the bill and takes the cash. This shop is probably the first of' its kind in England and busy housewives seem to like it.
