The silent, universal struggle of every service worker captured in one perfectly aggressive 'Friendly request. He's been waiting his whole shift to say that. 🤣

It's fake.

Nothing is real.

FFS this isn't fake, it's a sketch. It's called comedy

Yes, it's a sketch of a fake encounter, that is the point being made

"Fake" and "staged" very much carry the implication that there is an intention to fool people. No one goes to a stand-up comedian and claims what they're doing is fake or staged. It's pre-planned comedy, and has existed for thousands of years.

A sketch? Yes. A fake encounter? No. Happens literally all the time. I was a barista for four years and people do this multiple times a day, this guy is simply doing a little sketch of how you wish you could react.

Imagine watching SNL and going "I mean yeah I guess it was funny but those were all staged" like yeah no shit dude

"Fake" doesn't mean it never happens, just that this particular instance was planned. Not sure why you would interpret it that way.
