Chef I worked with once told me about a prank every restaurant in that part of the strip district was in on. One restaurant would send a new person out with a dolly to get a piece of equipment that another restaurant had borrowed. When the next restaurant saw the dolly they knew the deal and would say they lent it to another restaurant and send the new guy to another spot. Rinse and repeat. Fucking diabolical lol
not-that-kind
I used to work at a 3 story massive restaurant. We used to bend a fork and send new cooks to the other floors looking for the “fork unbender” sometimes they would be gone for hours.

I’m a fifth year CDP and this exact type of thing happens at restaurants all the time. First gig I was at told me to mix the mayonnaise… with my hands… you can let that sink in. My hands sure did. Double hotel full of mayonnaise. Still hilarious.

We had a 15/16 yo busboy who wanted to work in the kitchen so he’d stage before his bus shift, but he was very needy. We started having him do the usual things like looking for a can of steam, left-handed, teaspoons, whenever he got too overbearing.
Our finest one though was having him rotate the ice. We had a huge ice machine with a top opening feature to break it up when it built up. We told him all the ice on the bottom would melt and waste away so by rotating it from the bottom and distributing it through the top window, we wouldn’t have so much waste and the chef would be happy. He took upon this job with gusto and it became a thing every shift where we wouldn’t even ask. It came to a head one shift when they were completely weeded and he had disappeared off the floor because he noticed the ice machine was in dire need of rotating. “You NEED to be on the floor, NOW!” “I’M ROTATING THE ICE, CLEAR YOUR OWN TABLE!” We had a sit down with the GM and chef that day, but it was well worth it.

Oh man that reminds me of a job I had, the server was a dude and his voice sounded EXACTLY like the dude from Mrss.Doughtfire, who does the face mask and make up. He was also as gay and flamboyant. I asked if he had a cold, ill make him some tea. He said no that’s just his voice. I felt so embarrassed. I should have not said anything.
