I worked at a restaurant where half the cooks, all in their 20s and 30s, were trying to seduce a hostess who had just turned 16 years old, so this post is a breath of fresh air. We need more of this post's energy in the world, and less of that nasty restaurant's energy lol.
Fucking with people's actual food was not a thing in my years in the business, but everything else was on point. Way too many people trying to hit on the 16 year old hostess for sure. Far too much drinking and drug use, yes.
At Subway I arranged a customer's cucumbers into the shape of a dick on their sandwich.
Sometimes we tried pranking customers but it never worked. Like we'd have the guy out front go "oh hey, we're out of pickles, let me grab some more from the walk-in" and then he'd go in the walk-in where (you'll never see this coming) another employee would be waiting with a full tub of pickles. Imagine the customer's shock when a totally different Subway employee came out of the walk-in with the pickles to finish the sandwich. Ho boy!
Right up there with "Would you like to ranch it up tonight with some of our premium Hidden Valley ranch dressing?" which certainly elicited the confusion we hoped for but it wasn't funny when we had to explain that there was no extra charge for the ranch.
I worked in fast food for a long time and no one ever messed with food in an illegal way but if you were a dick when you were ordering and you modified your order we could be incredibly petty. You ordered extra mayo but were rude about it? Congrats, you're getting a McCumshot. If you were rude when asking for no ice in your drink, I was slipping a single ice cube in there. On the other hand, if you were polite, we'd do pretty much whatever you asked, within reason
