That 'hidden camera' prank at the gas station near Tulsa got me for a solid 5 minutes

Last Thursday I was grabbing a soda at a QuikTrip in Tulsa and watched this video where a guy pretends to get his card stuck in the pump, and then this other dude jumps out of a trash can to scare him. I was like 'wow that's a wild prank' until I noticed the camera angles were way too clean for a random gas station. Turns out it's a staged clip from a bigger channel that does fake street pranks for views. Has anyone else fallen for those overly produced hidden camera bits?

Wait, did you actually fall for it or just figure it out from the angles?

oh man, I was so ready to be fooled but then @taylor.amy I caught the lighting being off in like the third shot and felt real smart for about five seconds before realizing I'd just stared at a phone screen for way too long. my brain's usually too slow for these tricks so I'll take whatever win I can get, even if it's just me overanalyzing shadows like a conspiracy theorist.
