Cashback Page #2

i'd like to remind the customers

that there's a special

two for the price of one

offer on aisle ten.

fresh bread and cakes. that's aisle ten for a special two for the price of one offer.

well, don't just

stare at it, ben!

clean it up.

you see, i've always

wanted to be a painter.

and like many artists

before me,

the female form has always been

a great source of inspiration.

i've always been in awe of the power they unknowingly possess.

now, are you going

to clean them up or not?

there is an art to dealing with the boredom of an eight-hour shift.

an art to putting your mind somewhere else while the seconds slowly tick away.

i found that all

the people working here

had perfected

their own individual art.

take sharon pintey.

sharon knows rule number one.

the clock is the enemy.

the basic rule is this:

the more you look at the clock,

the slower the time goes.

it will uncover

the hiding place of your mind

and torture it

with every second.

this is the basic art in dealing with the trade of your time.

any cash back?

this is barry brickman.

you see, barry thinks of himself as a bit of a daredevil stuntman.

for a start,

barry is quite well-known.

when one of barry's

bike tricks went wrong,

the cameraman put it

on the internet.

barry has stuck

to his scooter ever since.

matt stephens is also

a king scooterer.

and what was

the other thing?

and what was

the other thing?

- sausage!

- oh, yeah.

now barry and matt

are good friends.

there you go.

take care.

between them, they have come

up with a very different way

of dealing with

the trade of their time.

look. look.

theirs is an art to finding anything to do that isn't work.

a few days later,

barry and matt were reported

for what they called

"helping the ladies. "

it was these shampoo bottles

that sent them on their quest.

barry and matt knew

what they looked like.

and they knew that the women in the supermarket knew what they looked like.

their theory was that even

though it was a sex toy

masquerading as

a bottle of shampoo,

women would like

to try it as a sex toy

but were embarrassed to buy it because they knew what it looked like.

the decision to buy it would be an easier one if they were already at the checkout.

if they didn't object,

then barry and matt knew

they'd helped a bottle

find a happy home.

barry had challenged matt

to a scooter race

in which they would sprint

down one aisle and up the next.

they would do all 14 aisles, and then back to the starting line.

they had been waiting for the day the manager called in sick.

the art of doing something else other than the work you're supposed to do, is addictive.
