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

Get out of my house!
In the late 90's they began to build a new supermarket just round the corner from my parents. This was the main talking point for some time, as being southern we had never had the chance to set foot in a morrisons before.
Part of the planning permission to build this was based around the preservation of a old building. The shop was allowed to knock down all of it but had to keep the front façade. This resulted in the outer walls being finished some months before the rest of the store. Holes were cut for cash machines in the brickwork and then boarded up.
Some time later as the supermarket was nearing the big grand opening, the bank sent round a chap to open up and install a cash machine.
Prying off the boards, he was then promptly attacked by a homeless man who had been living inside. Apparently as soon as he had opened up the ATM hole, this dishevelled guy had shot out alien-face-hugger style and began punching. All the while screaming "get out of my house"
