The checkout story was as near verbatim as I could remember.
I of course was Mr. B.

The Comcast call story is much funnier but no where near as succint and hilarious dog food story.

I good independant film titled Checkout has some very compelling moments to it. Different employees make the time fly in different ways.

Ann Bankroft did a one women show in which she was interrogated by the police regarding her murder of a lady in the express checkout line who had more than 15 items.
