Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to its relatable scenario of a minor financial hurdle, the unexpected humor in the interaction, and the genuine, kind advice offered by the cashier, creating a feel-good moment.

Summary

The cashier offers advice on how to be yourself and relax on a first date, which the customer appreciates.
