Compare Newark, Arrow and other electronic distributors. Newark, in particular, treated me well as a kid (1960s), i could telephone order, will call, and go pick it up the same day (on my bicycle), paying cash, no problem (i was under 18). And for mail order, payment included, at the time, there was Allied Radio, Bernstein Applebee, Lafayette, (postal money order or equivalent) and others. No difference with restaurant (or other) suppliers.

Some will, of course, but it's more like plumbing or electrical wholesalers than electronics stores of the '60s. Taxes, ya know.
