The best one I've found is "Writing Effective Use Cases" by Alistair Cockburn. You might also consider "Advanced Use Case Modeling" by Frank Armour and Granville Miller.

I was interested to find out if folks used environment names as part of user role names where the environment has some significant impact on user needs or behaviour? An example that comes to mind is SupermarketTillOperator versus RestaurantTillOperator (in the US read "cash register" for "till").

In William's example there might need to distinguish between till operators at a motorway service station within a single franchise operation. If the site was broken into separate administrative units (shop, filling station, restaurant, cafe, lavatories, parking and so on) then the personnel would be nested into these sets and would not need to be identified except as a role within a set making the superdescriptor redundant.
