I forgot about Kress and WT Grant. I thought I remembered Walgreens
having counters before they changed them to Wag's so I looked.

Looks like they started in 1910 and continued till the 80's

IGA grocery stores also had counters. At least in the 70's.

Googling for Walgreens I found this unrelated Walgreen restaurant menu
from 1939. Great prices!
