There is a Visa debit card commercial, in a cafeteria, that is running like a well-oiled machine. A guy pays for cash and throws off everyone’s rhythm.

What is the music and where is it originally from? A friend of mine says it’s the same music always used in old WB/Bugs Bunny cartoons whenever there was a factory involved.
