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

Years ago the then boyfriend had to deliver a big computer point-of-sale box thing to a posh shop in Chester so I went along to help.
As the BF had a bad back I carried the sodding heavy computer thing for what seemed like miles while he found the place. When we arrived the manageress gushed to him 'Oh, how KIND of you to mend it so quickly! Thank you SO much for bringing it back! Would you like a cup of tea?'
To me, she snapped 'You! Put that down over there!'
As a mere labourer, I was obviously below contempt.
The day wasn't lost though as the BF, having crawled up his own arse with embarrassment, declined that rude woman's refreshments and took me for a nice pub lunch.
