I miss those, when I was small we had a local store that did that for all meat products. You just said X amount of bacon. Instead of buying a million separately packaged packs that barely last 1 family breakfast. Or well, going out of my way to hit up lidl, because they’re like the only ones selling bigger packs.
Now don’t get me wrong, butcher counters still exist, but they’re rare and many are expensive hipster shit.
It’s stuff like this that gives me a little comfort/hope living in Europe. There’s still lots of fucked shit, but at least there are some people in power that care at least that tiny bit.
