Members of the Gee family were thoroughly trained in mental arithmetic.

Hand-written on your paper bag was a list of the individual prices of everything you'd bought. These prices would then be totted up at great speed, the total written on the bag, and the transaction concluded. That brown paper bag was your receipt.

Minimal paperwork. So economical!
