Working in a supermarket superstore you get to meet a lot of celebrities. All kinds of celebrities, TV, sportsmen and women, radio, famous people, successful business people and many American Express Black Card members but I think the highlight of my day is getting the chance to meet "normal" people who have achieved astonishing feats.
No one could make up the takes that Joe Public tell you. For instance, in the course of serving a customer - who looked pretty ordinary - I found by making a comment about the contents of their shopping that they had started a business dealing in organic baby food - making everything from raw materials and not mass producing it. It is the kind of idea that you think "I should have thought of that" because the concept is so simple - just put in pure indegrients, organic foods, no colourings etc.. and this woman has gone from strength to strength because her idea has captured a niche market.
Someone once said to me, how do you do it? I replied, I just have a sincere interest in people and am a good listener.
