I miss those, when I was small we had a local store that did that for all meat products. You just said X amount of bacon. Instead of buying a million separately packaged packs that barely last 1 family breakfast. Or well, going out of my way to hit up lidl, because they're like the only ones selling bigger packs.
Now don't get me wrong, butcher counters still exist, but they're rare and many are expensive hipster shit.

In the Germanland many if not most supermarkets have counter for meat, fish and cheese
Same in the US... Unless you're in a food desert where the "supermarket" is a Dollar Tree or Dollar General.
