<rant>Oh, man. I signed up to do that a while back. I was assigned to go to a bank and pretend that I had all kind of inheritance money that I needed to invest. I called the bank and set up an appointment, and then the lady called and had to delay because her mother was sick. Then her mom died, and she had to delay again because she was in charge of the funearl arrangements.

By the time she was ready to meet with me, I felt so bad about the entire thing (lying and wasting her time, even though I know it was her bank that set up the whole thing to test their own service) that I just couldn't go through with it.

But they never offered me a restaurant!!!

Julie, thanks for posting this. We have a local culinary school in Seattle that offers incredible meals at great prices. The only downside is that their hours can be wacky, but it's worth making the effort to go.
