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 used to work for Marks and Sparks.
Many years ago, my old nans cat was poorly. Being a pensioner she could not afford vets bills so she asked me to take her and the cat to the local PDSA (Like an NHS vets for peopole who cannot afford BUPA vets). So we sat in the waiting room and got talking to two old ladies who were there for similar reasons. So the cat gets a thermomitor up its rear and a dose of pills for its trouble (and stripes the vets hand for fun).
A few days later im working on one of the checkoouts and low and behold, the two old ladies from the PDSA are standing there with their shopping, the usual M&S stuff you would expect pensioners to buy, high quality at a high price.
One of them recognised me and nudged her mate who then proceeded to have a go at ME for abusing a charitable vetenry practice whilst I was a working man and should be able to afford to pay and it's not right that people take advantage!
Not much you can do when you work in a "customer focused" role like that, just have to grin and bear it. But fuck them, I bet they are dead now and I shop in Waitrose! Hahahaha!
