This film, while showing some great 60's Sypermarket imagery, seems to be more less a film (for supermarket managers?) of the worst customers all piled into one place. The food samplers, the weighers, the gangway cart drivers, they're all here. The film is silent, but the music comes on 3/4 of the way through for a bit, then goes back being silent. So it DOES look like a movie without words. Quite amusing, for what it is.
