No idea about the movie reference but KnowYourMeme.com says that the meme was based on a tweet by ABC News showing an aerial video of LA Thanksgiving traffic in 2017 (here).

So your whole business model

So your whole business model relies on custom from drivers short-cutting back and forth through residential streets to visit your store? You’d be complaining if you were in an LTN and you’re complaining for being outside of it.
