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

We had a Bomb Scare
Back in the good old days when it was the IRA threatening to blow up dustbins instead of Fundamentalists blowing up their underpants.

Customers: when evacuating a supermarket, you don't need to bring your unfinished shopping in the trolley/basket out of the fire exit with you.

Once evacuated, all the customers and staff decided to stand watching the police through the big glass window, just to make sure they got cut to ribbons by flying glass if there was a real bomb. I was sat behind the landscaped hill at the far end of the car park.

What I learned from this and the other 5 years of part-time work at a supermarket: People (customers and staff) are all fucking stupid. I despise you all.

My lottery fantasy is still to one day be rich enough to own a supermarket chain, and work on tills at weekends and tell the particularly needy, whiny, complaining customers to fuck off and have them barred. I know it won't be profitable, but I think it would be a public service for some people to be told off in public. Nice polite people might get their shopping for free, too.

Mine's the same but with Scotland.
It won't take winning the whole lottery to afford it though, probably just a tenner on a scratchie will do.
