After hours in Asda

I've previously mentioned how the two worst words put together are "bored doorstaff" cos we always find ways of entertaining ourselves!  

This extends to outside of work too and we used to nip to the 24 hour asda now and then after shift for nibbles and the like.  But whilst there we're still hyper and pumped from work, in a nearly empty supermarket, in the middle of the night, oooh it's playtime.  

We all tended to separate and get whatever foodstuffs we were after but then how do you find each other again? By playing Marco Polo that's how!  Yes a group of off duty doormen running around asda in the middle of the night to shouts of "Marco" and the reply "Polo" followed by much laughter.  

And did the night security guards ever say anything?  Not a chance in hell, not even when we played "the ticket run game".  Now when self service checkouts came in we soon figured out a game you could play with them.  What you had to do was pay for your shopping, and when the receipt stated to print, grab hold of it and start running!  You see on the old machines the paper would come straight out off the roll and the winner was the person who could pull the longest strip of receipt paper out of the machine!   Possibly illegal, highly entertaining and probably the reason the paper tears when you try it these days.
