That reminds me of how they got rid of something I really miss at my grocery store.  Since everything reopened in 2021, with no restrictions like masks and capacity limits, I thought they'd bring it back:
They used to have these huge bins with large scoops in them, of stuff like trail mix, various nuts, chocolate covered raisins, etc. You could measure what you want and place it in a plastic bag. There was a scale where you weighed it, then a little device that printed out the bar code for you to stick on the bag. That way the cashier knows what price to scan.
As soon as COVID broke out, they took it all away. It was replaced with pre-packaged trail mix, etc. in these tiny containers. Of course the price is higher with the quantity not even being a full pound but just 12 oz.  I thought by now they'd bring it all back but it doesn't look like it. I used to love to get as much as 1 or 2 lbs. of my favorite trail mix or nuts.
