9 Items or Less

Welcome to Smiley's Supermarket . . . Joe Gillis has come shopping to what appears to be the world's largest supermarket. After wreaking havoc with clerks and patrons alike, he makes his way toward the miles and miles of checkout lines. As far as he can see, rows of people are waiting, their carts overflowing with every conceivable product.

He spies a very short line way up in front, the banner above announcing "9 Items or Less." Upon counting, he discovers he has ten items in his cart. What should he do? He does what every moral, self-respecting citizen would do - he goes to the "9 Items or Less" line anyway, resulting in a hysterical battle of wills with the Cashier (Matias Bombal).
