Book excerpt: I deal daily with incidents that would make your eyes pop and your mouth drop. All this as I work within a very ordinary retail sector. I am known as Hattie/Henrietta Duncan, a single mother struggling to bring up two teenage boys. Secrets of a Supermarket - (S.O.S.) is a collection of fact-based stories - some admittedly with slight embellishments - which Henrietta deals with on a daily basis. On her very first day at work, she is flattened in the car park by a naked man heading into the store. Her initiation into the world of retail is only the beginning of the hilarious and downright crazy goings on in her new career. Henrietta's apprehension turns to horror, when she meets some of the characters she will have to work with, realising they are even stranger than the occurrences that take place! Secrets of a Supermarket shows the funny, ridiculous, and sometimes sad aspects of working within a diverse team in the world of retail, an ever-changing, pressured environment. The interaction between the general public and staff creates myriad opportunities for things to go hilariously wrong. Just as Henrietta believes she has finally seen and dealt with everything retail can throw at her, along comes the biggest bolt out of the blue. About the Author: Frances Macarty, a London woman who moved to Surrey some years ago, has put together this book, a collection of stories from her experience within the retail sector.
