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

Wife with clubcard pointsMy parents moved house when I went off to Uni, so my first holiday back from home was in a town where I didn't know anyone. I heard that a neighbour's daughter, my age, worked in the local Tesco, so on my first trip to the supermarket I found her on the tills, introduced myself as the new boy next door and we shook hands at the checkouts. A few meets later - and lots of unecessary trips in to Tesco - I got her number, then got the courage to ask her out to the cinema, and it went from there.
11 years on from that day, we got married last summer, and our first baby's due this summer.
Amusingly, if I recount the story of how we met in polite company, her rather wannabe-upper-class mother likes to chirp in with 'she only worked there as a temporary job you know, we normally shop in Waitrose'

Can he take her back and get a refund if at all unsatisfied?
Something about sell-by dates.
There, is that better?
