I read on this site that a ‘burr’ style of coffee grinder should be used over a ‘blade’ type to get a more consistent grind. What type of grinder is usually used in the gourmet coffee section of the grocery store where you grind your own beans?

I worked in retail grocery and it is a plate grinder, like in a flour processing plant, it uses to metal grinding wheels, and rubs the beans, by adjusting the plates it allows you to make it coarse or extra fine for Espesso or Turkish, most places the plates are old and tend to be a bit off, so if you want fine for a drip, then dial it up to extra fine.
The home type are more a blender single blade, or the one I have which has a resevoir it is the wheel type.
