In today’s Episode…

Like any industry, the “new guy” behind the bar is often the subject of good-natured pranks. The key is to keep those pranks good-natured, make sure nobody gets hurt, and hopefully make a learning experience out of it!

Listen in for much more, but here are some ideas to get you started:

  • Ask the new guy to “empty the hot water out of the coffee maker”
  • Ask them to go to another bar to borrow the Keg Splitter
  • See if you can get a song stuck in everyone’s head. (This one is my favorite)
On the other side – there are pranks that just aren’t funny. Avoid pranks that:

  • May physically hurt somebody
  • Are just plain bad training (Listen in for one great / awful example)
  • Are stealing, illegal, or intended to get someone fired or reprimanded
