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 don't know if it's a Liverpool thing...... but if you only have one item, people will always let you to the front of the queue, if you ask.

I believe it's known as being polite. It's a Northern thing.

Yup, we do that in our little Northern hellhole, tooIn fact, it's considered correct to look behind your own trolleyful of cowheel and black puddings at the next customer. If they're holding only a bottle of milk and a packet of nappies you'll step magnanimously aside for them.
You then have to take the piss a bit.
If it's a bloke with flowers and wine, you can wink and say 'Oooh, fun tonight, eh, La'!' and he'll laugh wickedly.
If it's flowers and chocolates though you can ask 'Who's been a naughty boy, then?' to which he can reply 'Me, tonight, with any luck!'
You just don't get that banter with Tesco Online.
