when that guy grabs the bag of herbs and asks her "What is this?" It reminded me of a scene from the movie "The Terminal" where tom hanks helps the guy trying to bring in medication for his goat or something.

When they were holding her and asking her about the herbs, does that really happen in real life?
Cause that's pretty messed, and obvious power tripping.

It's not rocket science and takes 5 seconds to realize when someone obviously doesn't understand English (or whichever language).
And to think by shouting repeatedly the same thing and expecting different results is retarded if someone has no idea wtf you're saying.

I don't know how real is this, but I always see stuff like that on TV.
Why don't they just get a translator and calm down.

I liked it until it I found out it was a commercial for a bank...Kind of ruins the 'feel' of it if you know what I'm getting at.

Well the video claims it was based on a true story, so it probably happened similarly like that. Guess she does her banking at TC bank?
