Its not just newspapers Mollie, its mags and everything written , In my work we used to go in a builders merchants or a plumbers merchants and ask for and a competent sales person , we called them counter rats, would walk in the ' back' and get it, Then came the catalogue stores where, the counter rat was now a ' item number' colleague, We had to look up the item number of the plumbing part and the person serving would get it, Now that has gone on another level where, Today I walked in screwfix for a plumbing part and now the catalogs have gone and you go to a screen and search the part online and tap ' get' then pay by card, then go to the counter super rat to collect the part,
