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

Stopped at BP to fill my car up, and whilst there grabbed some veggies for tea from the Co-Op shop which was attached to it. Young lad behind the counter weighed the peppers, red onions perfectly happily but got a bit stuck when it came to the courgettes.
"What's this?" he asked, so I told him. It was like a light being switched on in his head. Always happy when someone learns something, I smiled and went to proffer my money when he looked at me quizzically and asked "what country do they come from?"
I told him they grew in the UK and he looked at me as if he'd just caught me in the act with his mother. Bless.

Well, I learnt something.Your post made me wonder where courgettes are indigenous to, and it turns out all squash come from the Americas,but courgettes are a squash cucumber hybrid developed in Italy.
