Casey continued to chat. "It's about a 25-year-old phrase — how old are you?" he asked Jill. She responded 22. He then told her he said it in the film Good Will Hunting and asks: "Is that popular around here?"

Meanwhile, Casey's girlfriend begged him to stop badgering the workers.

As Jill ends her TikTok, she says, "He was clearly very upset that we did not know who he was." She also noted that he was "b----ing and complaining" about the price of the sweaters his girlfriend wanted and made her put one back.
