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

The Old Creepy Shop of Creepy Mannequins. A few streets away from where I live is a shop which I shall not name but if you know Southsea at all, it will be familiar.
It's a fairly big, old-fashioned place that sells kiddie's frocks. Kiddie's party frocks that apparently fell through a wormhole from 1954 as nobody in their right mind would ever put their child in one.
I've been walking past it on about a daily basis for the last five years and I have never once seen anybody in there.
Not customers.
Not staff.
Not even a bored Lithuanian cleaner.
Leaving aside the question of how the hell they stay in business, the thing that most concerns me is the mannequins they have in the window. I have nightmares about these fucking things.
Picture Chucky from the Childs Play films except he's three foot tall and grey and wearing a bright yellow polkadot party dress. Picture twenty of these things grinning at passers-by with cold, cruel eyes.
And I'm convinced they move about when nobody is watching.
At this point discovering that the place is a front for White Slavery would be a relief.

We need pictures!There was a shop in a bad spot in the Centre near where I live. It seems to have been opened for an age but was actually full of normal, glitzy fashionable things. I think in ten years I saw one customer. I waited and waited for it to die but it clung on. It only closed last year and was quickly replaced by a lollipop shop that lasted a month.

That would be the one.
Over the road is some sort of community centre and in the foyer there's a statue of a man with a penis growing out of his head.

Very creepy shopI drive past here every day and have never seen anyone in there either. Not really surprising from the window display but how on earth do they stay afloat?
