Antique Grocery Store Resisting the Digital Age in Samsun

The 68-year-old tradesman, who runs the grocery store he inherited from his father in Samsun, does not give up his traditional methods despite all the possibilities of modern technology. Shopkeepers offer their customers a nostalgic shopping experience by using antique mechanical devices instead of digital devices for daily calculations and weighing transactions.

The tradesmen, who have been serving in the same shop for years, take visitors back to the past with the old-style scales and calculators they use. Trying to preserve this legacy he inherited from his father, the tradesman continues to keep the traditional shopping culture alive against the digitalizing world.
