This is a question Shops and Supermarkets

I 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

BAGGERS
Had a dinner party planned.
Wife and I went to a Publix grocery store many, many miles from our house - (not our usual crappy local one) and spent a crap load on tasty goodies.
Get home to discover that a couple of the more expensive, and smaller things, that are on the receipt are not in the bags. I'm of the opinion - 'fuck it - we'll make do, no big deal, get it next time' but NOOOO - cue my ex* launching into a vicious, over the top telephonic tirade to the store manager about shoddy service, how I have to drive all the way back, people are coming over etc etc. He's very apologetic and promises to make sure the items will be waiting.

I drive back down and head in to the store, somewhat sheepishly, to get the stuff, embarrassed by Mrs GPs outburst. The manager comes up, apologizes again and gives me the bag. Meanwhile the bagger who took care of us earlier, remembers me, waves enthusiastically and gives me his biggest, brightest, happiest, downs-syndromiest smile..

I felt like a complete cunt.

*one of the reasons she is in that happy category now.

I was hoping to hear you
got home, and found the missing stuff on the back seat.

did the bagger count the potatos?
would be quite ironic if they did.

He was probably
mentally superior to most of the clientele anyway. Publix makes Wal-Mart look like MENSA HQ.
