Plot
Paul and Barry are looking after a supermarket and are getting it cleaned before opening time.
As usual Paul is in charge and sets Barry to go and round up the trolleys which he has a bit of fiddle with first.
As Paul start to inspect the fruit and quantity of the biscuits Barry get's round to cleaning the floor, by using the floor cleaner. He puts in one cap of the liquid just a the equipment says, but he thinks it is not enough and pours the whole bottle in consequently made the floor all soapy.
Paul goes in search for some more biscuits and gets the box which the bottom collapses and all the biscuits fall out.
Paul and Barry start to stack Baked Beans tins, and Paul turns his back on his which fall over and he heads back to them, then Barry hears the noise and thinks they are his tins which he turns around and trips knocking his tins down anyway.
Paul then lets Barry have a go on the tills which he makes a mess off, Paul puts his note on the till and it goes with the roller and while Paul waits for his note to come back Barry spots a upside down tin and offers to turn it over to which Paul panicks and run towards the stack, trips on a banana skin and knocks them all over, then Barry helps him up and they both head home.
