Sure do. My Dad was the assistant manager at the A&P in N. Conway NH back in the 1960's.

Wood plank floors and wooden bins with the vegies in that you weighted right there then went to the cashier. Two blocks form the first house I remember living in(the second house for me really). Guys back form the war carrying things to your car, telling me all sorts of stuff about the war and Germany......jk

Dad worked as assistant manager there for most of his career; worked his way up from Meat Cutter (back when beef came into the store in quarters, not boxes).

I bagged groceries and ran the register when I was in high school.

The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, Inc.

WEO!

I remember the coffee grinders, the aroma from the coffee and the S&H stamps. Like it was yesterday for me.

We had an A&P in town it had a Nickel Coke Machine near the back of the store.
I managed to buy one Coke for a Nickel and a week later the machine was gone.

Never going to see a Coke for a Nickel again.

There is a big, fairly new A & P grocery store near Hackettstown, NJ. It's been sitting empty for the ten years or so I've been passing by that way for winter work.


Eh...wot?

If I 'm not mistaking A & P, in Canada anyway, was the first grocery chain to experience a unionizing of employees, as I recall employees experienced a dramatic over night increase in wages, creation of pensions, etc., price of product followed suit. All of which may have led to it's demise or at least re structuring and re branding.

I have wooden crates just like that, handles and all. The ones I have were used for bananas when they were shipped still on the stock. They were laid in there and the handles flipped in and another box set on top and repeat. Never seen a metal one though.
