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

Not an April fools joke.My boss was probably the only guy to ever have to report a fire and flood on April fools to his head office.
The night before a member of staff had been shrink-wrapping some games and had then gone home and left the machine on, which had subsequently overheated and then burst into flames, which then triggered the sprinkler system. He had been called into work to assess the damage, first on the scene besides the centre security. He said it was so bad he put his breakfast down on the counter and it floated off.
He told me it took about five minutes of infuriating phone calls to convince head office that it wasn't a joke and literally had to hold the phone up to the alarm to finally convince them.
On the plus point all water damaged stock was reduced by 70% - including the playstation (boxes) that were placed under a running tap.
