The creator approaches Romi, a well-known British shoeshiner, and sits down for a premium shoeshine experience. Throughout the process, they engage in witty, unscripted banter about shoe quality, running marathons, and Romi's philosophy of selling a 'good feel factor' rather than just shining shoes. They joke about shining the King's shoes and building customer loyalty. The video concludes with Romi surprising the creator by leading him into a hidden, exclusive bar located inside the arcade.

Romy. Hey. Good to see you, man. Come on in. Always excited to get my shoes on. Welcome back. What about your shoes? I love your shoes. My own creation. Can I make my shoes like your shoes? I can make your shoes. I need a long time. Because I've been running with this. You're training for Olympics? The marathon. They call it money run. What about when the money runs out? Then I replace it with the Primark pair. That's make me laugh. After the shoe shining, I've got a surprise for you guys. I'm gonna take you somewhere, somewhere nice. He's the guy of Turkey. He's on commission. I pay him to say that. This is the best part. People tell me, Romy, what do you do? Do you know what I say? I don't just say I shine shoes. I say, I sell good feel factor. I feel good. I feel confident. I feel happy. What I'm doing at the moment here, clean the better. Feel free to take pictures. Can I buy something like this? You can buy. Most of the time I gave it for free. Loyal customers? Well, not really loyal customers, mainly for tourists. Oh, a lettuce of veneer. They only come here once. No it's fair to say, Rom, you're part of their one experience. You good say that. That's priceless. I can wash that all day. I think my shoes are looking better than yours right now. It's in the process. How often should a gentleman get their shoeshine? Every 15 wear. It's just a recommendation. Unless I'm meeting the king every single day. If you look at the king, shoes are so old, but they're immaculate. Have you done a shoeshine for the king? No. Not yet. Not yet. Yeah. That's a good answer. Not yet. I'll have to speak with him. Oh, if he sees the video. Your majesty, please subscribe. Now is the tier. Let me take you somewhere in my area.
