Body of content:
I prank called a Chinese take out restaurant as Buk Lau to mess with their grumpy employees and try to get a ridiculously steep discount on my order. The lady who I spoke with was so irritated by Buk Lau’s discount requests that I could barely keep her on the phone - she hung up on me so many times!
To pull her back into the prank, I had to bring in Tyrone and Russell for some help. I pretended to be a representative from GrubHub calling to figure out why Buk Lau had such a bad customer service experience. She immediately changed her tone and was suddenly patient, even agreeing to speak with Buk Lau again!
The Chinese take out pranks are always audience favorites! Do you know of a good take out place with terrible service that’d be perfect for a prank call? Should I call this place back and see if this grumpy lady is still there? Tell me in the comments below!

Pranker: We provide online ordering services for your restaurant location. Uh, who am I speaking with?
Lady: This is Julie, can I help you?
Pranker: Uh, hi Julie. I actually have a little bit of a situation going on here, b-, based on our-
Pranker: contractual agreement Section VII, Alpha Tango, we may occasionally shop, your store-
Pranker: location to help inspect your daily store interactions, monitor frontline employee phone-
Pranker: effectiveness and occasionally check competitors pricings, and sales strategies, uh a-
Pranker: and we noted-, we-, we had one of our representatives actually give you a call t-, to make-
Pranker: a test order, I'm not exactly sure who they were speaking with. But there was-, there was-
Pranker: some type of issues going on where-, where an employee refuse to-, to kind of tell the-, the-
Pranker: individual what was on the menu, h-, he repeatedly asked, w-, what he could order, some-
Pranker: some recommendations, for what may be a popular item there, and the employee at the-
Lady: Mhm.
Pranker: at the store refused to actually give any of that information up, and ultimately hung up-
Pranker: on the customer.
Lady: Uh, actually, they, place orders, and they making, compare prices, to try and reduce prices-
Lady: from $19.70 do-, $19.70 cents to, uh, 5 dollar or 10 dollars purchase, which we don't do that.
Pranker: W-, was it actually you on, the telephone ma'am?
