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

Ah, the parent buying the 18 rated game for their kids thingThat used to brass me off.
The best one I had was an oldish lady and a 7 year old girl, bringing a copy of Silent Hill 2 to the counter. Alarm bells started ringing so I politely asked who the intended gamer was. Expecting to be told that it was for an older person, she glared at me and pointed at her little girl.
I knew that she'd go ape if I refused the sale, but also I knew I couldn't legally sell the game to her so I refused the sale as politely as I could, pointing out the 15 certificate and explained the law.
It didn't stop her demanding to see the manager, screaming at the security guard and sending an angry letter to head office.
It became quite a big issue within the company, with lots of staff saying I was wrong for refusing the sale as I was selling it to the mum, not the daughter, but I know the law would have found fault with me for providing the game with the knowledge that the girl was the intended recipient.
I'm not in retail anymore, fuck that!
