Shops and SupermarketsI used to work in a supermarket where the girl on the deli counter cut off the top of her finger in the meat slicer, but was made to finish her shift before going to hospital. You can now pay £100 to shoot zombies in the store's empty shell, haunted by poor dead nine-finger deli girl. Tell us your tales of the old retail experience, from either side of the counter

No...it was named after the owner.....called something like Naharita's. Lots of sacks of really nice coffee beans, fresh breads and pastries. I checked it out on Google's street view to see if it still existed - opposite an Oddbins grog shop. It now looks like a coffe shop or a restaurant. At the time it was very cutting edge, as the only other "posh" shop around was a bog standard bakery.

That's the place! Nastiuk's......they fired me for making a mistake on a Visa Card transaction - I forgot to enter a transaction amount, so the customer scored a free loaf of bread and the end result was that the till wouldn't balance at the end of the day by 80p. Never short-change your Scottish employer, they'll get rid of you quick smart.
