In early America, grocery stores would occasionally be closed for days. Not because there was an emergency or the owner was on vacation, but because the store had to take inventory for everything in the store. It took hours and hours counting every can, package, and piece. The only thing worse than the time it took was if any mistake was made it could cause the business thousands of dollars.
