In Britain, a grocery shop without shopkeeper

LONDON: No shopkeeper to man it. Yet, a grocery store in Britain opens round the clock and sells household goods to the residents without fearing theft.

The village shop in Draughton, North Yorkshire, is never locked or manned, and relies on old-fashioned honesty to balance its books, Daily Mail reported.

The phone box-turned shop has been selling bread, milk, sandwiches, newspapers, stationary and an assortment of other essentials for the 250 residents of the village. But since the store opened for business, nothing has been stolen.
