Will Anything Happen - Shop Assistants

...•• INTRODUCTION •• It happened that one day I was walking with a dear friend when we saw a multiplex; we thought it could be nice to watch this movie... the last show began five minutes later, so we quickly bought the tickets.

The job of a sales assistant is simple: stand around, look pretty (easily the most difficult part of the job for me, not least because of the STUPID blue uniform we had to wear.
