Was this written by AI? It doesn’t follow logically. The first panel is a man wanting to buy origami flowers. The third panel is the woman admonishing the man as if he were the origami owner.
It’s a valid and moderately common construction. This is called the generic (or indefinite) form of you. It’s primarily used as a colloquial or less formal substitute for one.
But yes, you do have to infer whom you is referencing from the context, so I could see why some might find it more confusing.
Not only that, but the art is strangely copy pasted between panels, and has no consistent style between elements. I suspect each bit was independently found (or AI generated), and then the creator used Photoshop or the like to compose it together.

The “you” in the 3rd panel refers to the hypothetical shop owner referenced in the 2nd panel, not the dude she’s talking with.
It is a confusing way to frame a sentence though, saying “you” in the context of an acted out conversation with someone who isn’t there

Dude’s been making this webcomic for over two decades. Try reading it again more slowly if y’all don’t get it the first time.
