Darling of Fortune Today the checkout-woman at the Shell petrol station wore a name badge with the imprint „Glückskind“ (darling of fortune) for her rank. Shell spared her the usual „temporary help“ or the variant „Schichtleitung“ (shift supervisor) of the one woman workforce. She was cleaning the mirror behind the checkout. The mirror in front of which the liquors are presented on shelves, presented in this exclusive boutique style, with reduced stock on display. Escpecially the Jägermeister bottles caught my eye. Five bottles of different sizes. I asked about the largest bottle. It was one liter. Absolut Vodka was presented in the same way. But, I guess the little ones in front of the check-out desk achieve significant higher sales than their big brothers. The foto resembles roughly the sideline.
