Brimming with foodbank enthusiasm after the Richmond collection, I returned to Teddington for yesterday's-shift-that-didn't-happen.

The collection had been unmanned for a while so, after donning the fetching red tabard, the first task was filling up a trolley with all of the donations that had been left overflowing on the table, under the table, next to the table... So a bonus free upper body workout before the promoting began.

The Teddington population didn't disappoint again and I barely had to do any active promoting, with customers approaching me to ask what it was all about and what they could buy to help. I don't think I've ever said "perishable" quite as many times in such a short timespan! There was even added encouragement from customers and I left a very full trolley feeling very fulfilled.
