As a junior in high school, I worked at a grocery store as a bag-boy. It was a fun job, but we did have to deal with some rude customers. <br> Like if we asked whether they wanted the 12 pack of drinks placed into a bag, they would say "what do you think?" <br> (or something just as unpleasant. A simple yes would do). <br> <br> So whenever we got one of these unpleasant people, we would do the EBT (empty-bag-trick). We would make the brown paper bags - there were no plastic bags at the time - as heavy as we could.<br> We would load the cart while they were writing their check, and we would place an empty bag into the cart along with the full ones.<br> <br> Then we would gather the rest of the bag boys to go to the window and watch... you could almost hear them grunt each time they lifted the heavy bags and place them into the trunk.<br> Man, when they got to the empty bag, they would almost throw their back out - they would go flailing across the parking lot waving that bag, trying to catch their balance - hilarious!!<br> <br> <br> <br> A few years later, while in college, I re-invented the EBT, this time as the empty-box-trick. I was working at Godfathers Pizza. The girls that worked the front counter and the guys in the kitchen always had some sort of battle going on - usually dough fights or something else fun like that. <br> Well one of the girls got me good with a glass of coke, so she needed payback. <br> <br> Customers would call in advance and order a pizza, and then come pick it up 20 minutes later. When we had these advance orders, we would cook the pizza, box it up, and place it on top of the oven to stay warm. <br> Well I placed an empty box on top of the oven along with all of the other full pizza boxes. And when the customer came to pick up his pizza, instead of handing the pizza though the little window to the counter girl, I threw the empty box through the window.<br> She of course expected it to be heavy, and when she went to catch it, she ended up smacking it into the air, and was trying desperately to bring it under control. The look of panic was awesome!! The customer was completely freaking out. <br> <br> I was doubled over laughing in the kitchen, and the girl had to come around and get the pizza herself. Man - those were the days!! Wish I still made minimum wage!!
