I Love Chaplin's Take on the Amazon Delivery Man Who Has to Pee in a Bottle

This could be an Amazon factory as you know they go into the next scene where he goes into the bathroom and there's the big brother camera of the boss. Telling him to stop taking his break. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jeff Bezos take a billows feeding machine so that workers didn't have to stop working. We have 14 hour shifts where Amazon workers don't get bathroom breaks. They invented that in the 1920s, Frederick Taylor and other people. Its like assembly line. There's some profound comedy that only highlights how heinous and horrific this reality is but it's so proud.
