I recall LCBOs being like government offices...you placed your order at one window and picked it up at another. No actual product anywhere in sight :) - Meg Apr 23, 14:16 5
- There were also stores called Consumers Distributing that sold consumer goods that way but they went under in the 90s -- nm - zork Apr 23, 14:21 3
  - Oh right - we had those (or similar) down here, but they were more of a catalog store with instant delivery. Same concept though. -- nm - Meg Apr 23, 14:26 1
    - yah, CD and Best. some showroom items, but mostly catalog. -- nm - b. Apr 23, 14:27
  - and that's where we got our original wedding bands -- nm - zork Apr 23, 14:23
- beer stores are still sort of like that. you can get the most common stuff off a chilled shelf, but most gets rolled out from the cold room out back. -- nm - Andie Apr 23, 14:19
it did say it ws 'covered in glass' but I'll bet it was a simple lock you could pick with any old luggage key or toothpick -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 23, 14:12 1
- i would bet it wasn't even locked. they are big airy stores, with staff. that would get noticed. -- nm - Andie Apr 23, 14:18
