Skit pretending to be store employeefrom @colerelton2
[01]
Overview
A creator begins outside a Currys electronics store and uses a magic-like transition to appear inside wearing an employee uniform. He then moves through the store creating a series of comedic skits: interacting with gaming products, dancing wildly to a soundbar, examining air fryers, and finding branded shorts in a washing machine which he then wears. The video ends when a customer asks him for help, and he plays the part of the employee, leading them away.
