If Cafes Ran Like Banks

Summary

In this humorous coffee shop skit, a customer orders a soy latte and is humorously upsold to a large flat white and additional items despite their initial refusal. The customer is then mistakenly charged for a newspaper they didn't read, part of the cafe's quirky service. A mix-up with the milk order leads to a request for a refund, which the cafe denies, instead offering to compound the debt with interest. The video is a lighthearted take on the ups and downs of customer service.
