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

Six and Two ThreesSome time ago I called into my local Newsagents, while I was there I asked the girl behind the counter for "Half a dozen first class stamps please". She looked at me quizzically, then turned to her boss and said ( I kid you not )"Mary..... er... what's half a dozen? ". Her boss looked at her in disbelief and replied : "Do you know what DOZEN means?"
The girl scratched he head then said "Er, twelve innit? Oh I see he wants SIX, oh I got it now!"
Ah the benefits of a modern comprehensive education!

I used to run a Post Office.People asked for a dozen or half a dozen stamps, very rarely 12 or 6.

I've been served by university students who couldn't tell the difference between tendered cash and change, so by your logic, a modern private education isn't up to much either.
