How we did the maths
 

Phrases you won't hear in a super-mega-hyper-market:

"Come on in and have a look around."

"We've got some of those biscuits you said you liked. They're turning out to be quite a popular choice down the street."

"Oh, don't worry if you don't have enough change on you, just give it to me next time you're in."

And unfortunately:

"We're closing. We blame the huge shop that's opened up down the road. We just can't afford to stay open anymore."
