A real positive for you Popeye - Countdown is opposite Robie - he opened using generators Countdown didn’t - so 12 Countdown staff arrived at PaknSave wanting to help - they didn’t want to be out in the shop in case any of their bosses saw them - so they manned the cash room - Robie had two self checkouts running off the generator to be used as cash machines so you could get cash out but he didn’t have enough power for you to use your card at the checkout - so these ladies worked 12 hours a day regurgitating the cash so the cash kept going back from the till to the self checkout .He started off giving away the chilled food but soon realised people with generators were filling their trolleys so he just charged nothing for it when it went over the checkout so everybody got a chance - he had so many people volunteer like school teachers etc who realised beneficiaries didn’t get paid in time to stock up before the weather hit
