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

my first repost.. copy, paste, win!I used to work in a supermarket chain.. I worked on the petfood aisle.. Stacking pet food.. It was the crappiest job ever.. The worst part was the grocery dept 'huddle' where the recent sales and wastage stats were discussed.. And I quote... 'hello team! Are we ready for our huddle? Great! This week we have done really well! We sold 2 percent more grocery goods than last week... But we did produce a bit more waste than last week.. No one had any days off and you're all great... Now then... Lets go and display some veg for sale! And keep those aisles tidy! Off we go team!' I don't think that anyone in management had sussed out that anyone who stacked dog food from 8pm till 6am whilst being forced to listen to the punishment that is dasda fm really doesn't give a flying fuck at a twunting doughnut about sales stats and just wants to start on the 3 tonnes of bakers complete that are waiting in the stores... I got sacked from there- mainly for 'not giving a fuck', although they didn't quite word it like that. Funny eh?
Face stabbings = appropriate really...

i don't think I've ever given a shit about stats management types have told me.The perceived quality of the job hasn't affected this.
