There was a company called Lance that didn't bother with vending machines. They just set their stuff out on a rack with a change jar next to it, see picrelated, and figured that people would be honest and pay for what they took. That's what "honor system" means on the sign at center-right in the picrelated.

It worked for years, from 1954 until some time in the 1980s, but society changed and they didn't and so they ended up going bankrupt because of all the thefts.
