Today I was reminded of shopping in the weekend street market (tianguis) in Primo Tapia/Cantamar.
This was several years ago. The large, well-established produce stand on your left as you entered the market provided plastic laundry washtubs for
you to place your selections.
The checkout area was a long saw-horse supported plywood affair with overhanging metal-scoop measuring scales and the cashiers would sort your
purchase, weigh the individual components and tally up the total on a wooden abacus.
