    Speak with a fake accent
    Hum the "Jaws Theme" when approaching customers
    Use the retractable chain on the keys to strangle people.
    Designate a "customer appreciation" bat.
    Demonstrate mad skills with box cutters
    Hi-lite all the price stickers bright pink
    Demonstrate how to use zip-ties to apprehend people on co-workers.
    Hide in a large box and pretend to be a character from a popular stealth-action game.
    "Flip' the monitor upside down to confuse new co-workers.
    ---Updated 9/23/09----
    Act out a ten minute police drama using Nerf Guns and a willing co-worker.
    Use said Nerf Guns to break out in an epic battle of Nerf darts.
    Finish any explanation with the phrase "....Because they hate you."
    Print out fake boxes such as "Rod of War: Extreme Kratos Bass Fishing" or "Imagine Master Chief"
    Deliberately sell terrible games to my enemies.
    Bask in the disappointment radiated from an underage child attempting to purchase a Mature rated game unsuccessfully

          I know but our manager still leaves the payroll sheet out on the counter for everyone to see. It has our pay rate, the times we clock in and out, and our hours for the week on it.

                no I mean the company "rule" about not being able to discuss your wages and hours. if the company has that in their manual it is illegal via Federal Dept Of Labor and they can not fire you either for discussing amongst yourselves

                • I'm not allowed to get old.

                  A customer said so.

                  • When asked to do a carryout because it's another one of those "run outside, stick your fingers in your ears and scream real loud" days and everybody who can do carryouts is already doing one, not allowed to answer "Okay, but I have to take a shit first."

                    • If I become a door agent, I am not allowed an Asp (collapsable baton)
                      Nor am I allowed Mace.
                      My manager does not care if I get a concealed weapons license; I still cannot conceal-carry at work.
                      The CKRT utility knife is Still considered a concealed weapon.
                      Even if my sheriff's deputy friend assures that it isn't.
                      Not allowed to lie about our closing times over the phone.
                      Not even if the lie is a 'little slip.'
                      I am not allowed to have 'little slips.'
                      I cannot change religions to get out of working Sundays.
                      The Supervisor I hate is not the Spanish Inquisition.
                      Not allowed to use the phrase, "Don't harsh my mellow."
                      Not allowed to tell a CS story in front of customers.
                      No, I cannot pull the fire alarm; no matter how much I ask.
                      Daring customers to complain to get fired is not a good idea.

                        • Under no circumstances, ever, am I to keep flirting with the butchers.
                          No asking them if I'm the freak show.
                          No calling THEM the freak show.
                          And yes, while I am dating one of them, no mushy stuff while he's on the clock.
