More importantly, do the 1950s have any homes available?

Market Street in DFW does that.

Stores are clean, well stocked, great variety, and helpful staff. Most shoppers are courteous and considerate

You pay a little more but it makes shopping effortless (heck, grocery prices are out of control no matter where you go - thanks, Biden!). No psychos on the checkout line, no rummaging for what you need, no improperly dressed foul mouth trolls blocking the aisles.

No, not the ‘50’s.
A small town in the last
bastion of conservatisim
in a blue state.
Being in competion with
Walmart and Albertsons,
this store has figured out
a way to remain competitive.
They cater to their hometown
base, and they’re always
busy. And there’s two in
town.

Fareway, a regional grocery store in Iowa/Midwest does that. I think they ask you if you’d like that or not. It’s not mandatory.

Back when I was just out of college (1980s) I saw a tee shirt that said, “Welcome to Iowa, please turn your clocks back 20 years.”

Brookshires stores in East Texas carry out. Excellent customer service there. My son worked there in high school. I lived in Boston Mass. for two years in the nineties. Quite different there. No help with take out. You rolled your cart into a pen outside the store where pipe bollards blocked you from rolling your grocery cart to your car. You had to go get your car and drive it closer to where you could unload your cart. Shopping with a friend mandatory ... if you left your cart unattended, you might be light some steaks. etc. by the time you fetched your car.
