Cashback

If you've ever wanted to know what it's like for me to work in a grocery store (because you're all dying to know what working in a deli/bakery feels like), this is the brillant short film (Cashback) that comes the closest.

"Ben is an art college student in London, whose imagination runs wild as he works the late-night shift at the local supermarket. What do he and his colleagues do to pass the long, endless hours of the night?"

How did I not know you also work in a grocery store/deli?

I don't work there that many hours anymore, and technically I do the fine cheeses, so I'm in a section all my own and don't really work on the slicers anymore, but yeah, that's where I've worked since I finished high school, through cegep, university and grad school.

Nice.

So that's when you come up with your zombie porn ideas?

We watched this short film in my Video Art class and I thought it was great. It was actually expanded into a feature length film too, which I also enjoyed. The feature length version is available to watch instantly online thru Netflix.

I used to work at a Russian food store. Does that count? Felt proud one day when I could tell exactly the correct weight of deli meats just by weighing them in my hand.

That's kind of awesome. I love the way the web and things like google video/youtube let you see quirky videos like these.
