If you notice on Green Acres, Drucker's store is one where the customer can shop for products, then bring them to the cash register for purchase. In the old days before 1919 you didn't pick out any of the items yourself and then bring them to the cashier. You instead went to the cashier and pointed to the items you wanted (or mentioned them), all the items were located behind the cash register counter. The cashier went over and brought the item back to the counter and then you purchased it.

...so this show isn't set in the '60's even though it was made in the '60's?

Well the residents of Hooterville in many ways were supposed to be behind the times by many years. My point is that Ducker's store seems so very old fashioned but actually its kinda modern.

Ah okay, I gotcha.

Yeah, other ways the residents of Hooterville were old fashiooned are the following:

1)Mr. Kimball's 1895 style tape recording

2)Mr. Ziffel's 1895 style formal dress

3)The phones in Hooterville all being not a year more modern than 1910 style

4)Haney's 19 teens style truck

5)Mr. Douglas's rubberwheel-free tractor

About Mr. Kimball's device, I meant "recorder" not "recording". ;0 )

I wonder if Drucker's store was modern by accident or not.

Actually, in Mr. Druckers store, you could do both - get the items yourself or have Mr. Drucker get them for you. In many episodes, they would hand Mr. Drucker a list and he'd get the items.
