What does it take to manage a modern self-service grocery store capable of feeding thousands of residents in McHenry and vicinity each week ? Talk to Anton# F. Kaiser, manager of A ft P Food stores' new food mart here in McHenry, which opened this morning. Tou find it takes quite a few things, some of which would seem at first glance to have little connection with the business of ordering, displaying and selling food. x Incidentally, Kaiser is a resident of McHenry and lives oh Route 1 with his wife, Cora, and their two children. Kaiser is typical of what it takes to manage a streamlined food store which may contain nearly 3,000 different food items and can require nearly half a hundred men and women to operate. It's a far cry from the days of the oneman store with the cracker barrel. , From Kaiser's own experience with A 4k P. it would seem the food store manager must be £ master of many trades and have a smattering of knowledge of a few professions, too. Basically, of course, he must be expert in operation of the store's main departments--meat, produce, grocery, dairy, coffee, bakery, frozen foods and candy.
