Although it's nominally and legitimately a "co-operative", the Co-Op in question is a large national supermarket chain in the UK.
Working there is like working any retail job, and a far cry from a small community co-op.

But yeah, working there is not going to be too much different to working at any other store. Still, don't underplay that. Having something you can go to, walk away from without having to bring home any work, get your 30-40 hours/week (and they'll pay a decent living wage), so you can pay the bills and keep your creative energy for your art... it's not a bad way to be.
