Skit about restaurant bill discount from @_arshdeep.singh__

In a scripted skit, a waiter at a fancy restaurant condescendingly assumes a young couple cannot afford much, but the man confidently orders a large meal. After the waiter presents a high bill, the man reveals he is using the 'District' app to pay, which gives him a 50% discount, turning the expensive meal into an affordable one. The video concludes with a promotional sequence showcasing the app's features for finding restaurants, booking tables, and getting discounts.
