We all were the "new kid" at one time or another... How bout sharing your most embarassing moments or those cruel jokes you may have (or still) played on the new hires to welcome them to the team... Like the one we used to pull on the new fry cook back when solid shortening was used in the fryer. We would roll up the shortening into "bay scallops" and bread them. During the rush, the chef would hand the new guy the plate of "scallops" and say "I need these on the fly". The newbie would drop the scallops into the fryer and we would quickly distrct him for a few seconds while the fakes would melt away. The chef would come down the line in a huff asking for the scallops, and the fry cook would look befuddled thinking someone may have sent them. We would keep it up for a few 'orders' always distracting him while the morsels vanished in the hot oil. Finally, the chef would be bearing down on the poor victim with the last 'order' telling him that if he didn't stand over the fryer until they were done, he would be fired! Chef would then stand over him and watch as the last batch disappeared and we all broke into fits of laughter as the new kid finally caught on! What's yours???
