Supermarket – self-service shop
In a supermarket we can also buy many different things at once: sausages, fish, sugar, macaroni, flour, tea. In a supermarket the buyer goes with a basket and puts into a basket that he wants to buy.
The concept of a self-service grocery store was developed by American entrepreneur Clarence Saunders. His first store opened in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1916.
