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

Overheard on the aislesI worked for a year in a supermarket immediately after college, basically to clear my debts, and I was the manager of the frozen food department. Meanwhile it allowed me to voluntary work for various conservation organisations, and eventually that's the area where I made a career.
Only two things stick in my mind from way back then, one was overhearing two women talking, and one said "And when I went back to the living room, he was still dead". I wish I'd heard the rest of the conversation so I could put it all in context. The second thing was when I went to work with a rotten hang over I used to put as many clothes on as I could, fashion an armchair out of packets of frozen peas, and have a nap in the walk-in freezer. Looking back it's a wonder I was never found dead. Still, happy days.
