“I don’t like waiting in a queue myself, so if I don’t find it amusing I don’t think anyone else would.
“Someone had already attempted the record, so I needed to do all five bags of chips in under 60 seconds. I knew straight away that I’d managed it.
“A few customers have pointed out how quick I am, but others don’t really care as long as they’re fed.
