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

My first venture into theft
When I was 14 (1986) I worked as a paper boy for a local grocery/newsagents in a salubrious northern Scottish town. My duties were delivering newspapers every morning, Monday to Saturday then on a Friday and Saturday afternoon I would get on the old grocers bike and deliver groceries to mainly the old and infirm.
The shop was run by two doolally old sisters and every morning myself and the other three paper boys were left to bag up our round whilst they read the papers and had breakfast in the back room.

14 years old.
Unsupervised.
In a grocery/newsagents.

For a year i was the main supplier of fags (single for 10p) in our school, tip was never get greedy, 20 fags and around 10/15 choccy bars a day. Only came to an end when my colleague came to work high on Butane lighter fuel and tried to nick all the fags that were on display, whilst the two sisters were still in the front.
Aaahh happy days.
