1. Glass Rack Tic-Tac-Toe

This game involves setting up nine glasses in a small 3 x 3 cube in a glass rack. You can either be base glass or mouth glass. Flip up the glass to connect your X’s or O’s.

2. Lemonade Stand

This is pretty self-explanatory. You fill up to-go ramekins with lemonade; then, you make a dope-ass sign, and try to sell them to your coworkers. I usually charge a $0.25 fee for each glass of lemonade; Also, I let my customers know that we’re working on bringing Apple Pay to “La Stand de Lemonade,” and remind them to be sure to like us on Facebook.

3. Putting Everyone's Name in Bucket and Acting Like Each Other

Throw everyone’s name into a bucket and draw a name to find out who you will be acting like for the rest of the shift. For example:

“Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m financially unstable, I fucking hate Stephanie, and I struggle when I have more than two tables at a time.”

Just don’t draw Steve’s name because you will be doing side work all night.

4. Giving People Fake Names

This is especially fun when you run food out to your fellow coworkers table and hit them with the, “Is there anything else I can get for you, Gilbert?” in front of their table.

Some other ridiculous names include: Rodney, Thatcher, Barney, Sandra, Bernadette, Moose, and Lucifer.

5. Making Jokes About How Drive-Thru is Backed Up

You may be working for a 3-star restaurant, but nothing will be more fun than running up to a manager and explaining that a suburban mom in her mini-van refuses to move in the drive-thru lane because the ice cream machine is broken.

6. Writing Your Instagram Handle on All of Your Tickets

If people are allowed to throw me invitations to their church on busy Sunday afternoons, I should be allowed to throw around my Instagram handle. There’s a lot of great content on there.

7. Putting an Outrageous Number of Straws in Your Guest’s Drinks

It’s usually funnier if you pretend you didn’t notice that there are 20 straws resting in your customer’s sweet tea. You can never have enough straws. Proceed to place bets on how long it takes for the guest to pull out all the straws.

8. Carry a Set of Handcuffs in Your Apron

Why do you need to carry handcuffs in your apron? I mainly keep them handy in case I need to perform a citizen’s arrest. You can never be too careful.

9. Tray Baseball

This is pretty self-explanatory, as well. Get a small tray and crumble up a piece of paper. You are only allotted 2 strikes and 2 balls. Choose your bases wisely.

10. Paper Towel Fashion Show

Create a new outfit using only brown paper towels. Make a brand-new scarf or a nice crop top—which highlights how thin and cheap your paper towel quality really is. Create a panel of judges and allow your manager to be your celebrity guest judge.

11. Menu Forts

Whether you’re about to create a city that resembles Tokyo, or build a small cabin inspired by Little House on the Prairie, this will be sure to entertain you for a good 4 minutes.

12. Lemon or Lime

Yeah… You’re literally blindfolding someone and asking them whether they are licking a lemon or a lime.

13. Breathe

Sometimes, that’s all it takes.
