I've just said yes to working at the campsite supermarket tomorrow after working a grueling summer there last year. The question is, with 7 hour shifts, how do you stop wanting to die?
 
Make one of those large stacks of tin cans that you only ever see in films, then ride a trolly into it, while sitting astride a stack of bread in the trolly basket*, Slim Pickens style**.


*Imagination required at this point. That bread is a nuclear weapon.

**Cowboy hat optional, however "yeee-haaa" noises are essential.
 
Eat the stock.
Put on an amusing accent to every different customer.
see if you can short change everyone and get away with it.
when you talk to the customer stare right above them or right past them so you appear to be a bit mental, thats always funny.

man, id never get bored.
 
When I worked in supermarkets at uni I used to do things like sing randomly so I didn't get approached. As somebody walked past I'd belt out a bit of say Marvin Gaye "when I get that feeling...sexual healing".

Freak people out, its a good laugh :D
 
If you have a nun as a customer, make it obvious you're checking her out, if shes close by give her a sly wink and say in your smoothest voice "Hello Sister..."

Freaks them out for some reason. :confused:

Take a game of Risk with you, find a happy camper to play it with and play a straight forward first to conquer the whole map campaign. That is good for 7 hours at a time.

Otherwise see how much you can get away with, without being fired.
