In the United States, Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement, dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.
While the holiday weekend also tends to signal the end of summer and, thankfully, widely considered to be the absolute last day of the year when it is considered ‘fashionable’ to wear white, we can’t let the long weekend pass by without paying tribute to some of the hardest working friends across the pond…the staff of the ladies’ and gentlemen’s clothing departments of Grace Brothers Department Store.
Captain Peacock – Floorwalker, Grace Brothers Department Store
Mrs. Betty Slocombe – Head of Ladies’ Intimate Apparel
Miss Shirley Brahms – Junior Assistant, Ladies’ Intimate Apparel
Mr. Wilberforce Claybourne Humphries – Senior Assistant, Menswear
Mr. Lucas – Junior Salesman, Menswear
Mr. Cuthbert Rumbold – Floor Manager
Mr. Ernest Grainger – Senior Salesman, Menswear
Having had the great good fortune over the years being part of the PBS productions of Celebrating Mollie Sugden, Funny Ladies of British Comedy, Funny Blokes of British Comedy, Life Lessons from Onslow and Beyond the Britcom: From Script to Screen, it’s hard to believe that the entire cast of Are You Being Served are no longer with us. They will, however, continue to make the world smile for years to come each day they report to work at Grace Brothers.
We salute the staff of Grace Brothers Department Store on Labor Day 2022!
