Your Story: Being a Shop Assistant for the Hadrian

I worked in different kinds of shops. Some I had to get the things that people needed from the shelves behind the counter, this was called counter service. In these shops I had to get a really big bag of sugar and weigh it into two and one pound bags. Another thing I had to weigh was butter that used to come in a big wooden barrel I had to cut big chunks and weigh it into one pound blocks. I also had to scrub the shop floors and all the shelves and wash the windows. When I was serving the customer I had to write down the prices of what they were buying and then I had to add up how much they had to pay. I enjoyed doing these jobs what I didn't like doing was stocktaking because it meant I had to work in the back shop.
