After watching this so many times, I just realized something. Since Rowan did the entire production himself, he pocketed the fifty grand. Playtech paid for an instructional video to be produced at that location. So, Rowan did it. And got fifty grand for doing it.

This was actually a very informative video and I'm genuinely impressed. I documented all the DOs and the DONTs from this instructional video. The DOs and DONTs Rowan were teaching us: Starting at 0:45 Do meet everyone with a friendly smile Do not sit on or try on the products on display Do not game on the clock When moving products, make sure you are looking forward with two hands on the cart Clean and dust display products Proper tool safety, do not play with power tools Do not try on the glasses on display Do not use the drive chair while on the clock When carrying products, be sure to only take what you can safely hold, don't over stack your load Always suggest the Steel Series Be sure to take your allocated break time, do not go over your break time Properly stock items while abiding by all FIFO rules
