Yeah, I felt something was missing. Took me a long time to figure it out. Dawned on me last night that what had kept the original thread alive was not just how stupid customers could be, but also the funny situations and conversations that could happen at work.
HENCE THIS THREAD!
So yes, write away!

Okay, I'll go first. ><
The other day while at work someone found (or brought) a water gun. So yes, quite a few people got wet (including me). After a few hours I forgot all about it and was working in the dish pit when I felt rain. At first I thought it was the dishwasher acting up (although it's brand new) but then heard laughter from afar. One of the waiters had found it again and got me and another cook. But I didn't put up a fight, so he kept shooting me. Then I picked up the water nozzle and aimed it at him. I won without firing a single shot. cool

Thats great.
I have a funny story.
I was in the back picking on one of the cooks who was washing dishes.
He turned around with the spray nozzle and let a quick burst of water.
Well.. This burst of water got on my crotch area.
And the pair of slacks I had then weren't water resistant.
So my manager walks back, looks at me, then starts luaghing.
"Oh man Andy, you could've just gone to the restroom to use the bathroom"
I was like "yeah yeah, shut up"
Since then, I learned not to mess with the cook while he's washing dishes.

It was a coworkers birthday, so I decided to play a joke on her. I stuck a sign on the front of her checkout where she couldn't see it that said "It's Ash's birthday! Wish her a good one but DON'T tell her how you know!" For a good fifteen minutes she had random customers wishing her happy birthday and she had no clue why! She eventually found the sign and I got a nice beating with it. Heheh..

In the theme of water sports at work...
Back at Maccas (as all the best stories start with) we had a girl named Laura who was known for her chronic case of Foot-In-Mouth disease.
There was also a smarmy "baby-manager" (my words for manager-in-training) named Geoff, who was a bit of a p***k at times.
Anyway, the night before this shift happened, Geoff had convinced Laura to go into the sinkroom where he had soaked her with the hose.
So, I was on shift one morning with Geoff, Laura & a few other people, not many of whom had heard the story of the previous evenings escapades.
Geoff laughingly tried to get Laura to go into the sinkroom, to which Laura screamed out her response:
"NO, Geoff! I'm not going into the sinkroom with you! You had me wet ALL NIGHT last night!!!!"

OK, back when I used to work at Schlotzsky's Deli in the Drive Through, I had a partner who could also take orders and such. Well, we were messing around in between cars, until I walked around the corner and heard him start talking to a car. I quickly grabbed a bottle of window cleaner, set it on Stream, proceeded to run upto him squirt him in the crotch as fast as possible, and then run to the front of the house.
His voice to the car sounded something like,
Hi, Welcome to Schlotzsky's Deli, May I Take You- JESUS ******** CHRIST!!!!
Needless to say, I got punched several times for it, but it was so worth it!

Th best waterfight I was in at Maccas was this one washup when we decided to muck around after we closed. It was a boys vs girls waterfight. I was the only girl on shift. I had a giant bucket of water poured on my head... But not before I could manage to smear a large shake all over the manager! xd I didn't win the fight, but a came a damn good second!!
Or back when we had 3 drive thru widows on and me & the guy on the 2nd window had a plush toy fight. We had the Disney beanie babies & kept throwing them at each other, but only when the other person was trying to serve a customer. The person on the third window came up & had a go at us at one point but as soon as they left it was flying mickey mouse's again.
And of course there's all the various forms of sports such as "cricket" & soccer (both usually involving pickles o_O) and the many improve skits that tend to weird out the customers "So anyway, I was learning a bible camp, I love bible camp by the way, and I'm like there like every weekend, that I should not worry about things like that. I mean sure people pick on me & stuff..." <--- Someone actually said this to me when I was trying to serve customers (they were joking) & the customers were looking at him like he was a freak. One customer even tried to give him advice! rofl

xd Kinda reminds me of the time when Red_Angelz & I were shift & these creepy druggos came in. These guys were notorious for staring at girls chests, reading their name badges, using them in a very deliberate & scary manner & then sitting close to Front Counter where they could perve on everyone.
Red_Angelz: "Uh-oh, I hate these guys! They always read out the name on my badge & then sit there & stare at us!"
Me: "Me too... but I have an idea! Let's pretend that these aren't our names... Here they come, play along!"
*I go back organising Drive Thru stuff & Red_Angelz starts serving the customers*
Creeppy Druggo Guy: "Hi.. ANG-GELZ... I'll have *blah blah blah*."
Me: "Lauren, when you've finished serving those customers, would you be able to come & help me in here for a second?"
Red_Angelz: "*cheerily* Sure thing Amanda!"
The look on the Creepy Druggo Guys faces was PRICELESS! And then they started muttering to each other angrily! xd
It also meant that Red_Angelz could hide in DT with me until the CDGs were gone (without looking suspicious)! biggrin
On the topic of name badges, I was once wearing a "Marie" (I think) badge & LOADS of customers were using it & trying to get my attention, yelling out "Marie! MARIE!!!" Me *to co-worker* "Who the hell's Marie?" Co-worker "*shrug*... Oh! You are, apparantly! *Points to the name badge*"
Also once a good friend & I were on Shift together... not many people noticed that my name badge said "Andy" (I was in DT & had it half covered with a jacket) but nearly every single customer noticed that he was wearing a girls name badge! xd

Nametags!
Wow. So many stories O.O
Best three off the top of my head.
1. The guys that have worked there longer than me all tend to swap name tags randomly. Not a big deal really. But one time one of the waiters put on the 'Earl' name tag. No one who works there is named Earl, so it was kinda funny. Then the GM finally notices and flips out yelling about traveller's cheques and all that (can't cash them if no one there is named Earl) So the guy rolled his eyes and put the name tag on upside down... the GM didn't say anything. XD
2. My name tag is quite sad. It keeps falling off randomly. So when I saw another name tag on the sink I put it on just so that if mine fell off I'd still have a name. Every time a worker looked at me the first words were "Why is your name Pistil-Andrew?"
3. Related to 2. We finally got new name tags, so I riffled through them and found two more with my name. Being the only Pistil, I found it necessary to where all of them. Two on the front of my apron, and one on the back of my hat. It took some time for someone to notice but eventually:
Him: Why do you have two name tags?
Me: I don't.
Him: Yeah you do.
Me: Nope. I have THREE! *turns around to show the one on my hat*
Him: WHY DON'T I HAVE THREE gonk crying
After that everyone addressed me as "Pistil-Pistil" which I would always correct them to be "Pistil-Pistil-Pistil"
I've also threatened to wear every name tag in the store. ninja TRY TO FIGURE OUT MY REAL NAME!! twisted

When i worked at the Gables of Mount Dora, i was a dishwasher (a job i will never, EVER do again...i think i woudl live on the street before I took a job as a DW again)
Anyways, there had been this one bussboy I'd been flirting with from teh time i was hired to the time I quit (there was no policy against it so long as it didn't disrupt work.
This one night me and this one very large(and I don't mean tall) hispanic man and myself were doing dishes. He was scrubbing and I was loading hte dishwasher (anotehr funny story as to why I was constantly on the dishwasher rather than scrubbing) anways this bussboy comes up back and he had a handful of ice.
I wasn't paying much attention beyond saying hey and batting my eyelashes (yes while covered in dish scum xd ) then went right back to returning clean dishes to racks (we only bring out glasses when we get them and flatware only gets taken out when the chefs called for it. Well as you can guess, teh bussboy came up behind me and dropepd this handful of ice down the back of my shirt.
I jumped and cryed out as the freezing cold stuff ran down my back (i was so hot too and that made it so much worse). To make things ever worse, I keep my shirt tucked in, so the stuff ended up down my pants as well. So I was jumped and fidgeting and trying ot get it out without cramming my hands down my pants. The bussboy was laughing his butt off and the hispanic man didn't know what was going on and staring at me like i was crazy.
--
Another time, I'd been helping chef craig, with something and I'd ended up slipping on the matts that were supposed to PREVENT us from slipping adn ended up halfway under a food cart and in a salad fridge. Thank goodness there was nothing in or on either. he was dying of laughter and choking out a "are you alright dear?"

I have three differnt name tags.
One says Andy
one has hearts around my name like this : heart Andy heart
Then I have another by the name of Andrew.
Everytime I wear the one with the hearts, Im questioned by the customers "Why do you have hearts around your name?"
I just reply: "Because, it looks cute!"
They give me an odd look. But its pretty funny.

Okay, for some odd reason I had McDonalds on the brain.
Ever since I got to work, I wanted a SnackWrap from McD's.
I was in drive-thru today and I almost said "Hi, Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order?"
Well... it happened!
Right before I went home.
I was like "Hi, Welcome to McDonalds, how may I help you? Errr... I mean Hi, welcome to CarlsJr's, How may I help you?"
One of the cooks, who overheard me, came out from the cookline and looked at me and asked "Did you just say welcome to McD's?"
I looked at her, luaghed and said yes.
She luaghed at me and said "Oh Andrew, your so funny"
Somehow, shes the only one who heard me. The customer didn't hear me. And neither did my co-worker who was helping me in the Drive-Thru.

I've done that a lot.
Now that I'm thinking about it, all the mess ups are coming to mind:
At McDonalds:
"Hi, welcome to..." eek
"Hi, welcome to McDonalds, how may I have you?" (shuddup crying )
"Yeah waddya want?" (got yelled at for that one)
"Hi, welcome to Burger King. No... Burger King is over there" *points* "this is McDonalds. Are you sure you're in the right place?" (nice save huh?)
AND THAT'S WHY I SHORTENED MY WELCOME TO "Hi!"
At Pizza Hut:
"McDonalds' pizzas suck."
