As he headed to the till, he then added: 'So we've done the hard part, we've sourced the products, now we just need to purchase them - make sure you're using a rewards card to maximise your profits, and then we're gonna send them in the next box to the Amazon warehouse tonight.
'And then once that's done, I don't have to do anything else - once they sell, Amazon staff will send them out for me and I can focus on sourcing more and more products.'

What is retail arbitrage and how does it work?
Retail arbitrage just means reselling a product on for profit.
It is completely legal in the UK, as, once you own an item, you have the right to resell it.
Using an app called BuyBotGo, resellers scan items they find in the supermarket, and the app tells them how much the products are selling for on Amazon, and how many times they have been sold in the past month.
The reseller will make a profit on the items by reselling them using Amazon FBA.
Amazon FBA is a service that online sellers can use, where Amazon takes care of the storing, packing and shipping of your products.
So all the reseller has to do is send the products off to Amazon and wait for the money to roll in.
Another added: 'Basically ripping people off, nobody in their right mind would pay 18 quid for suncream!!!!!'
A third commented: 'Waste of time, too much effort.'
Meanwhile, someone else wrote: 'If it was that easy we would all be doing it.'
At the same time, one user penned: 'Now wait three years for them to sell.'

Trump claims TikTok buyer group found, but China approval needed
US president Donald Trump said he has identified a buyer for the US operations of TikTok, the social media app owned by Chinese company ByteDance Ltd, without naming the winning bidder. Completing a sale would be contingent on Beijing and Chinese president Xi Jinping's agreement, Mr Trump added in a pre-taped interview on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. ByteDance and the Chinese government have long opposed such a deal. Mr Trump said: 'We have a buyer for TikTok, by the way. I think I'll need, probably, China approval, and I think President Xi will probably do it. It's a group of very wealthy people US and Chinese officials affirmed at the end of last week that they have agreed a trade framework, moving toward settling trade hostilities, following talks in London earlier in June. ByteDance's US future has hung in the balance for years, starting with the first Trump administration putting pressure on the Beijing company to sell the asset to an American entity. Further deadline pushback A January deadline for ByteDance to find a local buyer was pushed back twice by Mr Trump, who this month extended it again by a further 90 days from June 19. The US congress passed a law last year requiring the divestiture, citing national security concerns. Under the law, the US president was allowed to invoke one extension. However, Mr Trump has mused that TikTok in the US could be worth as much as $1tn (€852bn) and has repeatedly shown a willingness to broker a deal. Movement on a sale had largely stalled as US-China trade ties frayed due to a larger clash over tariff negotiations. Before Mr Trump announced tariffs in April, a deal was said to be close, advanced by a consortium of US investors that includes Oracle Corp, Blackstone Inc, and venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz.
