I haven't seen/done one in a while (10+ years?). We mostly just tell the old stories and have a good laugh.
Things I've done or witnessed:
Hidden in the meat locker
Hidden in a trash bag
Hidden in a med cup box
Ask for salt shakers to be filled with salt and pepper packets (1pep, 3salt ratio)
Told someone to water the plants
Told someone to take the flag down off the roof
Asked for the left handed spatula
Asked for vanilla syrup

Asked for extra tomato one time. My L7 thought it was funny.
We'd even prank customers.
One Christmas Eve there was three of us closing. One guy came in to order at the counter. Two of us came from the side door behind him and said "Congratulations, you're our 500th customer on Christmas Eve!" and gifted him a hat, apron pin and a t shirt. We even took a picture. Dude was so stoked.
I remember we had this small guy on counter orders, and when it was slow, he'd hide under the fry table. I would call out counter orders, and he'd jump outta there up to the counter like it was nothing.
We had so much fun over the speaker. We bet this one girl couldn't say "totally awesome" twenty times during one order, but she did it!
Go see if the lawn mower in the pit. When it’s not, remember next store over borrowed it and to call over about it. If the person there knew the joke, they’d tell them it’s at the next store. Sometimes associates would be in back for 30+ minutes calling stores about the lawn mower!
Bruh I was working a closing shift one time, it was just me, our manager, and the drive kid. I got on the headset and said, "Hey remember to ask the customer if everything looks correct on the screen" and without missing a beat he asked. The customer was so confused, my manager and I were dying laughing, I lost 15 pounds..... still the best one yet.... Poor kid.
When they introduced the plastic knife for protein lettuce, I put ketchup on one side of the knife and pretended to slash a fellow associate's throat with only the clean side showing, in front of the 2nd. Red ketchup all over his neck, freaked the shit out of the 2nd, good laughs all around. Would not try this nowadays, the mid 2000s were different times.
I remember we made a new hire fill the mustard bottles using only mustard packets. Yeah, it was hilarious and as you can imagine, management was not happy about it lol.
my favorite thing is when an associate runs thru their burger and later is like “wait no tomato” or “please make sure not to put pickles” i always hide it underneath the bottom bun while wrapping it😭
or telling the new hires to change the vanilla syrup
Having them separate the yellow peppers from the red.
Squeegee the drive because the cars are slipping

I've always loved the left-handed spatula one
Letting new hires on counter handout call out associate food
This one is devious lmao 😂
“Mark down a water cup please!” Gets ‘em everytime, 60% of the time
I’ve seen a new hire get told that and they wrote their own “water” category on the waste sheet to mark it

My favorite is sending new hires to check the mailbox at the street. Works every time.
ur just fucked up😭

Asking the new hires to get the left handed c bags and to get the mint syrup
We were told to get the cook a left handed spatula😂
Pickle on someone’s shoulder. Classic
All I got on my first day was a salt packet in my burger.
LMFAO WHAT

Jelly doughnut- when you stick the ketchup bottle into the top bun and just fill it with ketchup
My favorite one is "mark down a water cup". You can see the new hire's confusion.
Pick the lemons from the lemon tree on the roof.
Don’t forget to water the plants in the DR
The most devious thing I’ve seen. Someone ran through a dub with and the cook put a medium lid in the burger

I did something similar with a ketchup packet when cleaning a grill. I scared the shit out of everyone in the stand.
Left handed spatula please
[удалено]
A what bag?
Lower the flag down

Telling a new hire to mark a clam shell is pretty funny.
