    Ok, I work part-time in my local Spar, the problem is, it's not very busy and it can get really boring. Does anyone have any tips on making it more fun, or even on something I can do to keep myself occupied?

    Whenever a customer comes in, say "Llama", and when they say "Err, what?" just say "Hello". Mess with their minds a bit!

    If you're working with someone who's even remotely interesting, then problem solved, just chat away. Alternatively, play the Who am I? game :D Got me through alot of boredom!

    also works the other way i love ordering pints of ahamanah and see what the barman reaches for before that puzzled look on the face of them (i know i know i shouldn't take the piss outta barworkers cause i'd be lost without them)

    Hah hah, I'll try the Llama one, that's a good idea.

    Scaring the customers away will make work even more boring, even less work :rolleyes:

    Yeah so what you wanna do is draw more customers in.. I suggest taking a homer simpson approach and firing a shotgun outside the shop..

    Having worked in a Sar shop, my advice is to walk up and down the aisles, and fix/stock the shelves.

    Watch Supertroopers, you'll get a rake of ideas from that, I nearly pissed myself when they played the meow game, or the repeating game....
