Remember the days before bar codes when they had to pick up each item
look at the price labels and key in the value?

In the early 80's Kwik Save didn't used to have any prices on the
products (shelf edge only), staff had to memorise prices (very
occasionally they would have to ask someone on the next till or look
them up).

Kwik Save didn't have as many lines as Tesco but it was probably getting
on for as many as the current Aldi/Lidl. (Kwik Save occupied the same
part of the market as Aldi/Lidl do now - I wonder what happened to them.
