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

Never buy grocery items that are reduced for any reason other than being short-dated.I worked for three years in a well-known supermarket, and every morning my first job of the day would be three or four hours in the warehouse, wiping down and repairing damaged food packs then putting them back out on sale at a reduced price. "Wiping down", because the items would be from pallets heaped with smashed-up stock and therefore covered in a combination of fabric conditioner, flour, mouse shit, broken glass, mould and exploded dog food tins writhing with maggots. On several occasions the smell was so bad it made me vomit into the warehouse sluice (which I had to work next to. Great on the days when the drains backed up and there were turds floating past).
Yeah. So next time you're tempted to reach for that lone, slightly battered Cornflakes with 20p off, just consider first what's happened to that pack ...
