Art/Literary - Cinema, Film, TV, Drama / New employee at store
Swedish term or phrase: förbutik
This term is a puzzle. A new employee at a large supermarket is on break and goes to "förbutiken" to order a drink in a small café there. Could this be an area at the front of the store? Off in a corner? My sources don't provide any clues.
