      I am very quick when put on the spot. These actors should have been given a little more direction. I mean obviously they don't want to cause trouble and are only trying to make it fun. But out of everything this channel puts out this was by far the most boring one yet. What would you have done? Or said? It was a fantastic idea but wish they had run with it a bit. Perhaps included the store employees a bit and said " you're late for the meeting, come sit down and be quiet. " or asked them to participate in some way and keep up the joke and not just leave.
