The PM and the Pauper #dreamdiary79
I’m
working in a large clothes shop. It’s my job to keep the shelves full so that
people can constantly circulate for new items. Whenever I see a gap, I must
head into the stockroom to search out another garment, pop it into a little
trolley and wheel it out. Then I head over to a security dispenser to tag it
which are at random points throughout the store, before hanging the item on the
shelf. The store is constantly busy with browsers and it’s company policy to
give way to them on the walkways, though I have a personal policy of not giving
way to them if they ignore me, and often I have to use Karma and take it out on
the next customer. We also have a worry wall where we can anonymously write our
fears down for management to consider. I wrote store closures but someone else
has simply written “This!” on a poster announcing a restructuring programme. One
day, Prime Minister Boris Johnson comes into the shop and gives way to me and
my little trolley. I hide from him for a while then tell him about the importance
of young people working in retail.
