This is a question Shops and Supermarkets

I 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

Unlikely.
Most people who reach adulthood without learning to read or write properly have *some* reading ability. Even if they don't, they get by quite well in these situations - and they manage that by compensating in other ways. You'd be surprised at the number of incredibly intelligent, elderly customers I've dealt with who never learned to read or write properly, yet I only ever found out when it came them completing a claim form. Because you learn to deal with the problem by being crafty, and hiding it well...not by the level of rage displayed here.

No. The real explanation is simple. They were going to leg it with the trolley - hence them loading it before paying. The van was waiting, and would probably have the trolley literally launched into it as they legged it. Either that, or they were the distraction as someone else went on the rob. It's an old trick.

Nope.
Not a chance. Sorry, but you would have to know the geography of the shop and the car park to see how unlikely that is. Plus it doesn't explain the loss of temper.

That would be the distraction wouldn't it?
