Ready for a trip down memory lane? In this episode, I’m diving into the world of small-town grocery stores, reflecting on the wild days before credit cards and digital systems took over. Join as we swap stories with Joel Fenton, Jonathan Bannister, Tom, and the rest of the Mixing Family and Business crew. We’re talking about the chaos and charm of counterchecks, rolling “bad check” lists, cash-and-carry loyalty programs like Green Stamps, and the kind of hands-on business practices that kept entire communities connected. From meat-cutting in the back room to making store deliveries in person, hustling with VHS tape rentals, and balancing books the old-fashioned way, it’s a look at how ingenuity and trust built the backbone of our family business. If you’re curious about how things worked in the days before scanners and smartphones, or you just want a good laugh at the way we did things, you’ll love this episode.
