Where the Wide Aisles Are

My daughter has been working at Sainsbury's for a week now, but yesterday was the first day I'd actually seen her in her Sainsbury's jacket and name badge, when she popped home for some things before heading out again into the night

I'm not even sure if livery is required. I have several times been innocently browsing in a library hundreds of miles from home, only to find myself accosted by customers asking for help finding books. It's happened a good few times in book shops, too. Clearly I carry with me some intangible aura that tells people I work with books. It would be interesting to run tests to see if the same applies to supermarket workers.

I find that totally plausible. In both cases there's a certain way of rearranging things on shelves that people just stop themselves from doing.

and all that.

Of course managers would be ex-sergeants, or similar! Probably the first requirement.

Sounds about right.
