Why it worked

The humor in the situation, where the fear of bad customers is presented as a stronger motivator than pay, likely resonated with viewers who work in service industries. The relatable scenario and quick, punchy dialogue made it easily shareable.

Summary

A construction worker jokingly asks his colleague, Roy, if he can work on the weekend. Roy initially declines due to family visiting, but then agrees to work at 6:30 AM, implying that the threat of dealing with difficult customers again is motivation enough.
