Customer service complaint skit from @leogonzall

A creator, playing the role of a barista and manager, engages in a confrontational dialogue with a customer who claims he received the wrong drink. The barista argues that the customer failed to specify his order correctly, refuses to remake the drink for free, and deconstructs the 'customer is always right' mantra by explaining why the customer's mistake shouldn't result in a loss for the business.
