5 minutes or I'm buying!


Why do all the customers cheer Vince on when he says that? Including the one getting her grocery's rung up. If he takes longer than 5 minutes you the customer gets free stuff!

idk, i was thinking the same thing. and other thing, this may have been just me that noticed this, but i thought for sure that he rung the dog food up after they said 1 sec. did anybody else notice that?

I just wish the clerks at the Sam's here were half as fast as Vince. I was there a couple of days ago and thought I would die of old age waiting for the clerk to ring up 5 items for the customer in front of me. It was pretty obvious she hated her job. She didn't smile and wasn't friendly at all. Now that I think about it, I never see the same clerk more than once in there. The only person I ever recognize is the creepy dude who checks the ID at the front and always has to put his arm around me or touch me. EEEWWWWW. They must have a huge turnover, and it's easy to see why.

Sam's need to have a speed ringing contest and reward their employees. I HATE going in that place because they are always so slow. Thirty years ago when I worked in restaurants while in college employees were fired for being slow and unfriendly. It seems to be the norm now, and I'm in the south where people are known for being overly friendly. I guess everybody hates their job these days, but most of us have to have one.

I work for a supermarket know as woolworths and i gotta say the scene that really made me just be like what the *beep* is where the barcode on the dogfood is missing and vince jumps up on the counter and scans it from across the store, those scanners dont have that sort of range.

it is just a movie... repeat, just a movie...

it stars dane cook and jessica simpson and you are trying to argue the validity of a price scanner's range?

pick your battles, please.

see, the problem is that vince doesn't use a item to time ratio, so if some costumer got a million items vince could not possibly ring them up in 5 minutes.
next thing you know, superclub goes bankrupt.

This is just me, but I think it's "5 minutes or I'm buying" becuz if it's longer than 5 minutes maybe they'll take it out of his paycheck. That's what I was thinking the whole time this scene was going. But I'm probably wrong.

Somebody up there has got it in for me. I bet it's my mother.

reply

Im guessing vince can guessimate the time it would have taken to ring up that lady's items

reply

Yup, it was just that one woman who was in the line already; he'd seen her items (not her ITEMS but you know what I mean) and figured he could do it in 5 minutes. I doubt he'd make the challenge if he got a customer with "a million" items. I love this movie by the way. It's fun to watch. My favorite thing they have is the hidden break room in the racks. Awesome little secret clubhouse!
