They're forced to stand all day? Seems a bit harsh. Can't say I'd be too chatty, friendly and happy if I was a Tesco cahier either! Besides, it's not the British way!
In some supermarkets they are actaully FORCED to chat. It's so the customers feels they are getting a special service

I worked in a job like that once, a shop job; it was horrible. I would say 95% of customers want to be left alone, if they want to ask something, or talk, they will initiate it. I didn't stay there long. Be friendly, sure, but they make you almost force yourself on customers!
I had a trick when I worked in places like that. I would make a joke. They would ether laugh and start talking, just laugh and that was enough for them (and the mystery shopper one time) or if they didn't, I knew they wanted to be left alone.
I've been a mystery shopper. Yes they are the root of all evil but boy do they get some great stuff!

I used to hate going into Topshop before I lost weight. I'd get looked up and down and just feel scrutinised the whole time.
Good point. NEVER go to Topshop if you above a 14. You will be made to feel as miserable as hell 
They are the only chain store I know who do not do a plus size range. Mind you I hate that. They were not really around in my fat days but I hate the fact there is this corner of the shop where all the tents and very large flower prints are with very red faced ladies wishing they were anywhere else.
And if you're below an 8 either, which some people I know are naturally.
If you don't want to promote eating disorders fair enough, stick the smaller sizes in the petite section because not all women are 5ft 7!
But I have to admit I was angry when George did size 4 (size zero) clothes that were not petite. I'm sorry but NO ONE over 5ft 2 is NATURALLY that skinny.
I like H&M chain wise.

Yes, it is true that all the girls I know of that size aren't very tall at all either. I remember when I was looking for jobs a while back, not that I've given up with that, I said that Topshop was one of the only stores I'd not work in, because I'd never be able to be the "right" sort of girl to be employee.
I like computer shops and Maplins and places like that. THAT's shopping!
Clothes shops are like rainy Sundays.
Speaking of which - it's a white winter wonderland here, Yipee!

With a two tone asymetical bob and in a constant state of pout.

That's me in any shop.
Only in your imagination.
