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

I took my friends daughter to a super market last week.Shes going nuts for these collective plastic figurines called 'Moshi Monsters' Quite cute actually, you buy a packet not knowing which one is inside and over time collect and swap obsessionally until you have the entire collection.
So she got this little purple blob it was called 'roxanne'
She looked at it quizzically.
'have you got that one already?' I ask,
'no'
She then breaks of its arms and legs, and smiles.
'see NOW it looks like a rock!'

Bollocks it's not worse.Club penguin are rank amateurs compared to Moshi monsters.
My 8 year old has membership to the site. She has a subscription to their magazine. Her and her friends give each other Moshi Monsters books for their birthdays. You can even buy Moshi monsters cakes . . .
I'm in two minds whether this relentless marketing is good or bad, I think on balance it's bad, but my daughter gets pocket money, and is allowed to do what she wants with it - something the creators of MMs seem extremely happy to exploit.

Club penguin is BAD.My nephew was so engrossed with it he never left the house, just sat there glued to the computer tak tak taking away.
Once he was on there so long he actually SHAT himself.
Yep, no word of a lie.
Thankfully hes lost interest now hes at secondary school.
Yeah it is relentless marketing, but what else will they spend pocket money on? neon fizzy pop and Disney magazines. If they enjoy it I don't see the problem. I love looking at the kooky characters :)
