Fruit and vegetables, weighed and bagged. Sell what is in season, before it stops being worth selling.
Everything on the pavement display was bought at the wholesale market that morning and will not look as good tomorrow. The margin is fair and the waste is constant, so the greengrocer's skill is buying the right quantity and pricing down in the afternoon. The war takes the bananas and most of the oranges, allotments fill every spare plot, and from the 1960s the supermarkets sell it all ready weighed.
