This is actually the majority of America when you get down to brass tacks-crime,poverty, and urban environments that are dehumanized. The EU is creeping in the same direction with neoliberalism.
ironic enough, mcdonalds (at 125th) has installed the very same window to peddle their goddamn product after the sun has fallen. duh-duh-duh-duh-duh- im lovi'n it.
Much like the above ( and all of Wiseman's unstaged, cinema verite-styled documentaries), you should check out a documentary called Streetwise (it's very rare, but has been uploaded on YouTube) It's a non-staged observation of street life: no celebrity narrators, no manipulative tricks, it's as close to street living that a viewer will ever get. Photographer Mary Ellen Mark is spot-on; director Martin Bell is refreshingly un-exploitative. A must-see. Thanks for sharing, gulasj. A classic!
I used to live in the old 4th ward in Atlanta, GA and they did this exact same thing after a certain hour every night. If you wanted to make a purchase of something you had to stand at a window and ask for it by name... Of course for the reason that they did not want to get robbed. If you were white however, like I am, they would let you into the shop because they felt like you were less of a threat. Fucked shit.

@weirdcitykid I'm guessing the store owners don't want to be robbed.
