Then there's the possibility that it's fully scripted and full of actors, or semi-staged using employees or company shareholders who get a free meal.

* A 2018 ad for Payless had the company put up a fake boutique store stocking their shoes at typical high fashion prices. [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=xpqqKRlqZfU "Palessi"]] was a hit among the fashionistas, and many of them were pleasantly surprised when they found out about where the shoes came from. They did issue a refund once the jig was up, though.
