Although it's not really going to put the "Your Life's Work!" people out of business, this nice overview of what you can expect if you choose a career in selling does have it's moments. We see the typical day of a Mr Art Williams, veteran shoe salesperson, We watch him as he visits three customers, all which present it's own problems (especially when the store is selling hunting rifles and bowling balls side by side. Nice color, full of odd images that I havent seen in these films (Vacuum sales people, a guy stretching out with a shoe in his hands) and if you look closely, you'll see a clip…

Pants hoisted up to your nipples and a rust bucket to get around in. Meh. Not for me. Notice that the same grey car is parked to the right of Art's (centrally parked)white Ford at both sport shops even though they are miles apart. Bet the grey car is the filming crew's vehicle.
