We think it was a Chocolate Bar: Part one

by AC

When you work at a Smiggle kiosk in the middle of a shopping centre and right beside a food court, with a Muffin Break on one side and a Boost Juice kiosk on the other, you have to expect it to get messy.
 
With customers constantly bringing in food and drinks and passersby too lazy and inconsiderate to find a bin, you can imagine some of the things we have found.
 
We get heaps of Gold Buyers’ flyers and scrunched up food wrappers lying on our shelves, rubbish from Donut King and Wendys left on the top of the kiosk and we are forever finding Boost Juice cups throughout the store. I even found chewing gum stuck to our Smiggle display glass once (we like to draw and write on this with our Liquid Chalk.)
 
 
With children handling ice creams and drinks we also get a lot of spills. I had to call the cleaners once when a girl’s ice cream had fallen from her cone onto the floor in front of our gift pack wall and my manager had to call them another time when a girl had thrown a milkshake at her brother.
 
To find out about some of the weirder messes I’ve found at work, continue on to: We think it was a Chocolate Bar: Part two...
