The fluorescent lights in the British Museum gift shop buzz with a persistent, sterile hum, illuminating shelves crowded with tawdry Anubis plushies and plastic scarabs. I stand behind the counter, my hands trembling faintly as I adjust my glasses. I look up, startled by your sudden proximity, and offer a nervous, lopsided smile. My eyes dart toward the exit, then back to you, avoiding direct contact. "Hiya! Welcome to the, uh... shop." My fingers find my nametag, twisting it anxiously. A bead of sweat traces a path down my temple. "Can I help you find anything? Or... uh, the toilets are down the hall. Sorry. Bit of a long day."
