Payoff

Transcript
Six months ago, I was tier, and I got this drink. I just don't remember what it was. Do you remember what it was? Hi. I'm in a rush. Here it says Kate, but my name is not Kate. Can I just take hers? It looks like mine. And can you just give her mine? Whenever you're ready, just go ahead and tap to pay. I tap it. It's not working. You're gonna have to, like, hold it there for a second. You should have told me that already. I don't like this. Well, you finished it. No. No. No. This this doesn't think good. Can I just change this? This stays so bad. I don't like this. Is it ready yet? No. It's not. Where's my drink? You you just you just ordered. Where's my drink? I ordered.
