- 2:02Speaker 1: your credit card for the table fee, so if you
- 2:05Speaker 1: can do what the credit I need your credit card
- 2:09Speaker 1: like for what? Well, there's a it was free. Yes,
- 2:12Speaker 1: your meal is free, but there is a four hundred
- 2:15Speaker 1: dollars table fee for influencers since you will be using
- 2:18Speaker 1: it for professional work. Whoa, okay, wait for my work?
- 2:23Speaker 1: What do you mean? You said you're an influencer. So,
- 2:26Speaker 1: but I don't want to pay a four hundred dollars
- 2:29Speaker 1: table fee or whatever you're calling it. Well, I mean
- 2:31Speaker 1: that's just the start of it. We also have to
- 2:33Speaker 1: add on one thousand dollars room rental fee. Whoa wait, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I'm not running a room. I just I just want
- 2:39Speaker 1: to have dinner. I don't think you're understanding. You are
- 2:42Speaker 1: getting that dinner for free. But like I said before,
- 2:44Speaker 1: since you're using this space for commercial purposes, there are
- 2:48Speaker 1: fees associated with that. What are you talking about? Yeah,
- 2:52Speaker 1: and that reminds me if you have an Android phone
- 2:54Speaker 1: versus an iPhone, there will be an additional two hundred
- 2:57Speaker 1: dollars on having an Android. Yes, it's a poor reflection
- 3:03Speaker 1: on our restaurant. We prefer all of our diners use
- 3:07Speaker 1: iPhones when dining with us. I have an Android. Oh
- 3:11Speaker 1: you do. Yeah, that's amazing. Most people will never admit
- 3:15Speaker 1: that over the phone easily. They try to dodge that question.
- 3:18Speaker 1: But it's great that you'll just fest right up to it.
- 3:21Speaker 1: We'll put that two hundred dollars onto your tab. Look, okay,
- 3:24Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Is this some kind of scam that you're
- 3:26Speaker 1: doing to trap people in the band for more money? Sir?
- 3:28Speaker 1: Like you promise some free food, no, and you like
- 3:30Speaker 1: trap them in like this. Okay, I sense that you're
- 3:33Speaker 1: getting a little bit heated here, but just don't put
- 3:35Speaker 1: me down as an influencer. Let me go back to
- 3:37Speaker 1: normal and I'll just pay for the dinner. I'd see.
- 3:40Speaker 1: You're an influencer, but only when it's convenient for you. Stop.
- 3:44Speaker 1: You're the one who's saying that. Okay, maybe I should
- 3:46Speaker 1: call the newspapers and tell them about this situation. They
- 3:49Speaker 1: would love to hear situation. What are you talking? I
- 3:51Speaker 1: could just see the headlines now, local Karen doesn't get
- 3:55Speaker 1: free meal flips out on the entire staff. Hey, I
