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

bronzeAt the tender age of 16 I had a Saturday job in a now defunct DIY store chain.
The manager, a greasy haired overweight 40 something (aren't they all?), asked me to change all the blown bulbs on the lighting display but failed to tell his assistant.
When the erstwhile assistant came back from lunch, he noticed the lights were out and promptly switched them all back on just as I was trying to find the hole (oo-er missus) on a particularly tricky garden light.
Cue 240v shock up the arm and a 12 foot journey off a stepladder and down the aisle.
I remember thinking the buzz was quite good for about 20 minutes, but then vomited violently for the rest of the afternoon.

oh shit.same thing happened to me only I had taped off the switch. The offending would be murderer pealed the tape off and proceeded to switch the lights back on. Boom, there I go. If I had any hair it would have been standing on end.
