At around 10:10, the film shows color exterior and parking lot shots of a Ralphs store, a Safeway store, a Market Basket store and a McDaniel's store. A conveyor belt and a cash register are shown. Also shown are shots of the "world headquarters" of the Rexall Owl Drug store chain and a Thrifty drug store.
