Title: Fairytales in the supermarket
Description: Emma D. constructs a witty, amusing critique of wage jobs, primarily by relaying anecdotes from "the last decade of [her] life, a large portion of which has been spent behind a counter." During the course of her jobs as Woolworths, Card Mine and a sock shop, all in Sydney, Australia, Emma accumulates many anecdotes about shoplifting, creepy men, company trainings, crazy bosses, and useless junk. The zine provides critiques of capitalism and consumerism, and illustrates how women in service and retail professions are often submitted to sexist practices.
