Asda has placed an ad in The Stage magazine looking for 100 budding actors to provide instore entertainment for customers as they shop. Prospective greeters will be expected to "keep the instore atmosphere buzzing with a variety performance of comedy and song," as well as alerting customers to the day's special offers. Candidates must send in a video or cassette introducing themselves and explaining how they would entertain shoppers. "By advertising in The Stage, we are positively encouraging more extrovert applicants such as resting actors," said a spokeswoman. {{NEWS }}
