The other day I was shopping in a Co-op when I heard some grunting and a voice that appeared to be saying, "Oh yes, Mr. Badger..." over and over, coming from the next aisle.
I popped over there and saw a young Co-op worker surrounded by crates of yoghurt. I can only assume he was supposed to be putting the yoghurt onto the shelves, but it appeared he was too busy making his own trouser yoghurt - if you catch my drift. God only knows what the Mr. Badger bit was all about.
Later, when I went to pay for my goods (NOT yoghurt), the same young chap was serving at the till. I couldn't help but notice he was wearing a brown, 1930's European fascist costume under his Co-op uniform. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Co-op founded on strong socialist principals?
I don't remember facism and badger sex featuring as founding principals of the Co-op.
Did I just stumble across a very strange outpost, or is the co-op generally going very weird?

They're all like that. Not the other day I nipped in to purchase some milk when I was affronted by a young employee dressed as Atilla the Hun, complete with small pony. The ladies at the till were all dressed as Topless Vegas Showgirls, and the manager was in the fashion of a 1920's Charleston girl.
The music instore was the worst.... I think it was from the teletubbies with an elaborate Techno track overlaced...

I used to work for the Co-op and I have to agree that it is a very strange place. Well, what more proof do you need than them having singing cows and sheep on bicycles as part of their ad campaign!! They make a big fuss about their principles but like most organisations it rarely filters through to the employees - maybe the ones you saw were rebelling against it. In the small stores, like where I worked we all got on very well and was a strong sense of community, although we did tend to attract weirdo's, Co-op isn't the trendiest place to work, so maybe that's why

what do you mean? the "quickening" has been going on since ten years ago and there was a song that sings HE COULD FEEL IT COMING. from the 80's . but it never arrived. YET> the worst conspiracies of our generation began in the 60's with the kennedy assisnation. so yes there is always something strange and conspiratorial going on

It's really not a good idea to take hallucinogenic drugs before going shopping, you know.
They're closing down my nearest Co-Op. Shame.
