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

Trollied. As a young child I used to wonder why shopping trolleys in my local Co-op had tall metal bars welded to them.
I understood why when I witnessed someone trying to run out of the store with a trolley full of wine, only for the bar to meet the wall above the door. This led to the trolley stopping very quickly and as a result the thief flew head first into the trolley, breaking his wrist and rendering himself unconcious in the process.

You don'tBut the coop most likely doesn't have its own car park, so they don't let the trollies out (since they'd just get abandoned in the public car parks)
