Yes. The story originates with a legend from the Russian village of Kuzminki.
In a small Russian village named Kuzminki, there was once an old man who sold pickles. This Pickle Man would pack the street in front of his store building every day with jars and jars of fresh pickles until eventually he ran out of room and had to put them on top for sale. One day he saw that no one was buying any more so he asked several young boys to help try and sell them for him but they all got busy doing something else long before they reached the end of his store front where his jars were perched up high on their shelves.
