A funny sketch about Generation Z.
- Okay that will be 55.28.
- Okay.
- Oh. Actually, our card reader's broken.
- Then why aren't you guys closed?
- Uh, I mean, you can still pay for stuff. You just can't use a card.
- I can still use ApplePay though, right?
- No. That… that uses the card reader and, like I said, the card reader's broken.
- So then, what am I supposed to do?
- We take cash.
- Like CashApp?
- No, like… like cash. Like physical, tangible cash. Like paper money.
- Like Monopoly money?
- No! Like change, like coins.
- Like a pirate?
- No!! Look, why don't you just call your mom or dad and have them come and pay for this? They know what cash is, right?
- My phone is dead. Do you have a charger? Can I use yours while mine charges?
- What is this?
- It's a phone.
- How do I work it?
- What do you mean? It works… It works like every other phone!
- Hey Siri, call mum.
- No it's not. It's. It doesn't have Siri.
- You just said it was like every other phone.
- Every other non-cell phone.
- I'm confused.
- Okay, you know what? just here, use my cell phone.
- Hey Siri, call Mom.
- No! Now you're calling my mom. Why would my cell phone have your mom's number in it? That doesn't make any sense! Just dial it!
- Oh. I don't know her number.
- You don't know your mother's phone number!?
- No.
- What are you doing? Stop doing that!
Okay, look, you can't just stand here and TikTok. Why don't I just put this on hold? Your phone can charge, you can call your mom, and then we can figure this out later.
- Great.
- Great, okay. I just need an address.
- Ticktockqueen@gmail.com
- Cool email, hum, but no. I need like a physical address.
No, dear God, no!
- I don't know what that means.
- Where do you live??
- You lost me.
Bing!
- Oh thank God!
- Oh my God, finally!
Oh my God! There's a new TickTock trend!
- Do you, do you understand this is the problem with this entire Gen-Z thing? You don't know what cash is. Okay, you don't know your parents phone number, you don't know your address… that is insane! That's borderline unsafe! Okay, you guys literally don't know how to do anything!
- I beg to differ.
Aaand canceled. My 4.8 million followers are going to eat this up!!
- I f- - - hate this job.
