Grover waits in line at a supermarket. He generously lets two people go in front of him, but then explains that you can't always let everyone go before you, or else you'll never get to the register yourself. When he finally gets to the register and is first in line, the cashier says the register is closed. Grover considers following a customer to a pickle party.
This segment marked Noel MacNeal's first performance with the Muppets. During taping, MacNeal flubbed his character's one line of dialogue (to tell Grover that his register was closed and to go to the next line), resulting in his character getting a close-up via a pick-up shot.[1][2]
