Some employees can get creative in how they follow workplace rules.

In this story, a teenage cook noticed a new rich-kid hire showing up without the required hat.

After a manager’s warning, the new hire returned wearing a different kind of hat.

The kitchen and dining room couldn’t hide their amusement.

Let’s take a closer look!

1990. My introduction to MP

I was a teenager cooking in a restaurant kitchen which was visible to the dining room.

As was standard, the cooks wore ball caps to keep hair out of the food.

A new hire my age was a rich kid who treated the job like a tourist.

He showed up his first couple shifts without a hat for his long-ish blonde hair.

This man saw the look on the manager’s face when the new hire wore an oversized sombrero.

The manager threatened that the next time he showed up without a hat, he’d be sent home for good.

The following shift, I’m in the kitchen when I see him have to turn sideways as he walks through the front door.

He is wearing a giant novelty oversized sombrero, complete with all the bling.

The look on the manager’s face was priceless.
