"Hey everyone, I wanted to get my ticket validated, so I approached the cashier at Bloomingdale's to ask if I could do it there. She gave me the most unpleasant look and had such a rude attitude as she responded, 'You can only validate it with a Bloomingdale's receipt.'"

Daus films himself making a purchase at the shop. "Is it possible to buy something here?" he inquires of the staff member, who replies enthusiastically, "Absolutely!"
