"I was loading the car like I did with so many cars before that, making sure they safely entered the car wash belt," Harycki told What’sTheJam. "Once I pulled the car in all the way, I put the numbers into the system, so they got the car wash they paid for."
Many viewers have commented on the video which has gone viral on X, formerly Twitter, saying the customer got what they deserved.
