In a video shared by Instagram user @mdmotivator, we see the man standing at a sandwich shop. He first asks the shop owner first if he can have a glass of water since he forgot to bring his wallet and won't be able to pay. After getting the glass of water, he asks the store owner if he can get a sandwich and says he can pay him back in 30 minutes. The owner says that he can pay back later, and asks for his spice preference for the sandwich.
