The right equipment is imperative for a shop so we only had the best. Scales to weigh the sweets, a till that actually went 'ping' when you opened it and an old fashioned telephone. Not forgetting the sweet jars (which were mainly empty, some contained pasta for effect), some random kellogs Honey snack cereals and even some golden virginia tabacco.
This was no ordinary Fisher Price gizmo, the sweet shop was made by my grandad and he was one of our regular customers, along with my nan and my mum. I think the tabacco may have been his idea too...
The worst thing about working in a shop is when people get all impatient when you have to answer the phone and we were forever running out of change.
