When I worked in a supermarket, the meat room would get their trainee 
butchers to ask the meat manager for left handed 's' hooks or the 
favourite, was to be told to ask someone for a long weight, as a 
carcass would need balancing. They would dutifully ask for one, 
whereupon  they would be told ' wait there, I'll go and get you one ', 
after about 15 minutes one of the managers would by accident stroll by 
to find out why they weren't working, normally as they tried to 
explain it would dawn on them what had just happened.

I suppose these days, people wouldn't take it as a joke or initiation 
ceremony, but as work place bullying or harassment.
