Due to an issue with the register, the Jimmy John’s employee told the man behind the camera that they were unable to accept cash as payment.

The workers made the sandwich, but when the man made it clear that he would only be able to pay in cash — the cashier refused to give him the sandwich.

“I’m not gonna risk my job for you,” the worker explained. “Because you can’t pay… I’m not going to do anything for you, I can’t accept cash today. I’m not going to give you a free sandwich and risk my job for you.”

The man recording went back and forth with the worker throughout the three-minute-long clip, sparking a bit of backlash from viewers in the process.

“You can really tell when someone has never had to work retail or fast food,” one user replied.

Another commented: “I won’t risk my job for you was the best line ever.”

“Why does the guy recording think he’s in the right here?” a third viewer said.

A fourth viewer mentioned: “It’s not the kid’s fault take it up with corporate instead of fighting with a kid.”
