Every little helps...
I was a checkout monkey during college. I felt my soul ebbing away with every monotonous beep.

My friends and I made a game known as Pleasure, Laughs Unlimited which involved the P.L.U. (fruit and veg) list and a top-trumps style heirarchy of obscure fruits and vegetables. When one was shouted, the first monkey to reel-off the P.L.U. number won!

Like I said, endless joy. I think I've managed to re-grow most of my soul in the 7 years since I left.

Sincerely,

Oh my...
I stopped working for the Co-op 14 years ago, and I can still remember the PLUs for all of the milk (The labels had a tendency to be ripped), all of the fruit and veg, and a 6-pack of matches (Black barcode on blue label doesn't get read by a red laser)

A handy tip was the fact that everything that was Co-op brand started 5000128, so you only had to remember the last six digits.
