| Ways to starve off boredom while working at tescos |
| 1) Time how long you can clean the glass counter without being told to do something useful. 25 minutes is my high score. 2) Flick through all the training manuals, as if busy with some top-secret deli counter paper work. Really all your doing is learning how to prepare whole salmon - yummy :P 3) Muse on the lives/personality of passing shoppers. i.e. - that woman must be a psychopath to wear those trousers in public. 4) Check the contents of all the fridges. Just in case some more cumberland sausages have spontainously appeared in the last ten minutes. 5) Do washing up that doesn't need doing. "NO, really - theres still a speck of dirt on that chopping board" 6) Play around with the mincing/slicing machines. Ever wondered if you can mince a pen? 7) Polish the stainless steel Its not really clean unless you've used two rolls of cleaning cloths, a whole bottle of horrid greasy cleaning liquid and it's taken at least and hour per fridge door. 8) Chop things up. You never know - SOMEONE might want three tons of 'cubed stewing beef' and then they'll be glad of you and your compulsive meat-preperation. 9) Rearange the displays. "What? The samon fillets had formed a pentagram when I got here" 10) serve the customers Warning - this one is only for the extremely bored. Do not, under any circumstances, attempt this unless you are fully prepared. |
| Further ways to Starve off bordom at Tescos Suggested by Steven Britton |
| 1) Play football with mini mediteranian-style pastries Make sure managers aren't looking 2) Mess about with the 'now serving' machine Did you know, if you push the button very fast, the numbers will scroll round by themselves.... 3) create a small model forest from plastic bags, clingfilm and sticky labels Again, best if no managers see 4) make a model tent from cocktail sticks and clingfilm. Ok, I think you get the whole 'making models from available materials' idea |
