This brings back fond childhood memories of going to the supermarket when I was a kid. I used to be fascinated by those vintage cash registers with its colorful buttons. I also remember the Alpha Beta markets and I'm not too far from La Habra, CA.

I found record of a Patricia Ann Hilton (neé Noland), born in Minnesota on December 27, 1932 and died in Los Angeles on November 28, 1994 (age 61) which might be the same person in the film.

I remember using the old manual registers in the 80's! They got replaced about 6 months later with electronic ones.

This was fun to watch - was it a training video for new employees, I wonder?
