'My boss invented a fake employee that he would blame all problems on': 20+ Workplaces that hid their tricks of the trade from their customers

Sometimes you really don't want to see how the sausage is made. You just want that final product, and you want to enjoy it without knowing all of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans that it takes to create said product. 

This is certainly the case at many restaurants, just as one example. You just want to sit down in the seating area and have a nice meal. You don't want to think about how long it's been since they cleaned the grease trap, or how there are probably at least 10 cockroaches or mice scurrying around the place. You don't want to think about how the produce might not have been washed very well, or how the server touching your food might have a sniffle. All these things could easily ruin your meal, so restaurant bosses keep it far, far away from the customer's view. What the customers don't know won't hurt them, according to many supervisors out there. People from many different industries weighed in on the secrets they're keeping, which you can check out below.
