     4   Q.   If you can pause, please.  During the time when you were
     5        Manager of the store, was that the standard way that the
     6        produce was bought into the store?
     7        A.  That is correct.
     8
     9   Q.   That is the freezer that they are working in there?
    10        A.  That is correct.
    11
    12   Q.   The walk-in freezer?
    13        A.  Yes.
    14
    15   Q.   Just pause for a moment.  The section in the freezer --
    16        I think it was a crew member who said that if you have
    17        something like 20 pallets, it could take you a whole day,
    18        eight hours.  Is that correct, to your memory?
    19        A.  It would take a long time, but not as long as eight
    20        hours.
    21
    22   Q.   But it could take several hours to sort out the order?
    23        A.  Five to six hours.
    24
    25   Q.   Would crew normally be in the uniform they were shown
    26        wearing then, if they were working in the freezer for that
    27        time?
    28        A.  Yes, if they do put on a jacket to wear.
    29
    30   Q.   What about gloves?  None of them were wearing gloves.
    31        A.  There are also gloves available.
    32
    33   Q.   Where would they be kept?
    34        A.  Upstairs, in the cupboard; there is a special cupboard
    35        for jackets and gloves.
    36
    37   Q.   Is that alongside the environment/index.html">litter patrol jackets?
    38        A.  That is correct.
    39
    40   Q.   Are they the same jackets?
    41        A.  No, they are different jackets.
    42
    43   Q.   Why is that?
    44        A.  Well, they are slightly thicker, and texture is not
    45        like a raincoat kind.
    46
    47   Q.   Is there any objection to them wearing environment/index.html">litter patrol
    48        jackets in the freezer?
    49        A.  Yes.  The environment/index.html">litter patrol jackets are to go out on environment/index.html">litter
    50        patrol, not to handle food.  It is not within (inaudible). 
    51        It is not allowed. 
    52 
    53   Q.   It is not allowed, for reasons of hygiene?
    54        A.  That is correct.
    55
    56   Q.   The cupboard, is that in the crew room or is that
    57        elsewhere?
    58        A.  It is just, once you enter the counter area, before you
    59        go upstairs to the crew room, there is a special cupboard
    60        for that purpose.  So it is a little cupboard on the shop
