Waiter for the Homeless is a video done by Public Prank, a YouTube channel that puts a socially conscious spin on the act of pranking. Instead of scaring people in an elevator, this young man tricks homeless people into thinking that he's someone he is not: a gourmet waiter.
The man walks around the streets in full waiter attire, including a tie and a vest, and serves up meals on a silver platter. Dinners range from potatoes to fried chicken, and all of the recipients are thankful for the kindness shown by this stranger. Waiter for the Homeless is a great example of how a YouTube channel can even take something like pranking and use it to improve the lives of others in mere seconds.
