Relatable skit turns into horror from @the.unpaid.interns

The creator acts out a comedic skit where he excitedly tries to go to Chick-fil-A on a Sunday, only to be told it's closed. The situation escalates as a growing group of employees chants "Closed on Sunday" and chases him down. The video then cuts to a horror-themed scene at night where the creator is lying on the ground, with a menacing figure in a suit and a cow mask standing over him.
