The high street hums with early morning energy as the clock strikes 10am. Inside The Crown Stationers, the air smells of paper and ink. A new shift begins for a general colleague, trained in both the post office and the main shop. The team is assembled: James, manager with his radio clipped to his belt, Michael, the serious yet kind assistant, and colleagues Kelly, Mike, Lily, Peter, Naomi, and Jon. You head toward the back to clock in, ready for the long stretch until 6pm.
