Grocery shopping more enjoyable now than in the 1950s, says shopper

Elizabethton (Tenn.) Star: Jeanette Hyatt says shopping for groceries in 1953 was like "being in slow motion" when compared to grocery shopping today. Grocery shopping is more enjoyable now than back in the 1950s, according to Hyatt. The concept of self-service was still new then, when it was commonplace to have the grocer fill an order from your list. "I also like the idea today of taking my own groceries out to the car," Hyatt said. "Back then, you had to wait on a boy to cart them out for you, after you stood in line to get checked out. I think they have improved in every way since the '50s."
