Nope, there are still plenty of vendors who still do that damn window thing.
In fact Bar S still does the window and to make it worse they cover the
window with pre-cut flaps. In order to view the bacon one has to tear the
flaps (there's two) on at least one side and pull the flaps back or tear
off completely.

Now, I buy bacon based on price. With bacon running around $6 lb, I won't
buy unless it's on sale in the $3-4 range. So, when Bar S has a sale on
bacon, like they did last week, I have no qualms whatsoever about going
through half a dozen or more packages, ripping flaps like crazy till I find
a good lb of bacon. Sure, I leave a trail of violated and strewn bacon
packages but that's just too damn bad. If they want the packages to stay
pristine, they'll remove the removable flaps so I don't have to. I guess
they figure most folks, like those who will not pick and choose in produce,
are afraid to rip those flaps off. Sorry Charlie. I be rippin'!
