I worked at a grocery store that still had one of these in the mid 90s. It had been there since the 60s but no one who worked there still knew how to use it.
I remember when the local Safeway had one of these! I'm pretty sure that was in the '70s, though. It's just slightly possible that I might be old.
OK, thought I was misremembering. Yes, our 70's Safeway had one.
