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

Dream shopping
I often have dreams in which I'm doing a bit of shopping in Tesco, but something goes wrong and it takes much longer than it ought to, or I can't find (or remember) anything on my shopping list, leading to greater and greater panic as I stare at increasingly longer, emptier shelves.

Once, years ago, I woke up chuckling from one of these dreams after having said something really funny - unfortunately I didn't recall it afterwards and couldn't manage to remember the details until very recently, when it just popped back into my head and I remembered what I'd said.

I'd been looking for cake ingredients and I'd got the butter, the eggs and the flour, probably some chocolate as well, but couldn't find the last thing I needed so went to the till to ask where I could find it.
I spoonerised my request, which meant (in the dream) I'd asked the lady at the checkout "Where are the shags of bugger?"

Another fascinating tale, here.

I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did.

This reply, meanwhile, is the most interesting post I've seen on the QotW, ever.
Well, aside from all your other whiney, repetitive replies to QotW answers.

What was the really funny thing you said?

Well maybe not 'really funny' as such... fuck it, it made me laugh, let me know if you can dream anything better.
