🎭 Behind the Giggles: A Day in the Life at The Scarborough Joke Shop

Ever wondered what it’s like to spend a day surrounded by whoopee cushions, fake poo, magic tricks, and belly laughs? Welcome to The Scarborough Joke Shop—where every shift is part retail, part circus, and part sitcom.

☕ 10:00am – The Doors Open… and So Do the Giggles

We kick off the day with a strong cup of tea and a test-run of whatever new prank has just arrived. (Yes, we have accidentally scared the postman with a jumping spider pen before. Yes, it was hilarious.)

Stock is tidied, shelves are topped up, and the first giggle of the day usually comes from a customer realising our "Fart Plug" isn’t exactly medical.

🎩 Mid-Morning – Magic, Mischief & Mayhem

Between helping wide-eyed kids pick their first magic trick and explaining to adults that no, the joke exploding gum probably isn’t edible, the day speeds by.

Customers are the real stars. Some pop in just to laugh. Others bring back stories of pranks gone wrong (or brilliantly right). We’ve even had proposals involving fake rings... and actual engagements.

📦 Afternoon – Packing Chaos (But Make It Eco)

Orders go out with reused bubble wrap, recycled boxes, and sometimes a hidden joke or two for good measure. It’s our way of sending the silliness far and wide—while keeping it green.

😂 Closing Time – Lights Out, Laughter In

Even after we shut the doors, we’re still tinkering with new ideas, silly signs, and TikToks that are 90% daft and 10% business plan.

Because at the Scarborough Joke Shop, every day is a chance to make someone laugh—and there’s no better job than that.
