Back to the front end

The register lights that Yoke's went with are quite an odd design -- the numbers themselves aren't illuminated, and instead there's a floodlight fixture above them, but instead of pointing at the number, the floodlights point out at the customers! I have to wonder if they originally did point at the numbers as you would expect, and the effect was just too subtle for people to grasp (especially with the bright florescent fixtures right above each lane, a total 90s design choice). Over on the front wall, we have the classic grocery clock (with this one looking quite similar to ones that other chains, including Albertsons, used) next to the liquor department (presumably a relatively recent addition).
