    My local supermarket put their most expensive meat into a locked cage. Apparently that hurt sales more than the occasional lost roastbeef did because the cage is gone now.

      And yet the deli model is still fully workable. You go up to the counter, you ask for something, they slice or scoop it for you inti a container.

      I have a friend who works in the deli section of a supermarket and she's hardly ever idle.
