Synopsis
A grumpy customer in a shoe store asks to be shown one pair of shoes after another. The director and saleswomen try to remain calm and provide good service in spite of their growing frustration. As the man finally decides to leave without buying anything, a little boy comes into the shop with his family and tugs on the man's jacket, saying, "Uncle, why aren't you cleaning up all of your boxes!"
