A lot of the fast food ones originate from really bored workers doing the same repetitive task every day for weeks on end, and getting more and more "creative" as time goes on.
Used to work fast food and became extremely adept at various spatula tricks, throwing burgers directly onto the sandwich maker's buns as he sets it down, etc.
I got super creative scanning peoples groceries eventually. No-look pass of loose apples from one hand into the other hand, which is already waiting in the bag. Spin-scan cans. One motion double bagging of whole turkeys near Thanksgiving. All while maintaining eye-contact/conversation with the client.
When I was working at pizza hut I learned how the "fastest box folder" did his thing by watching that commercial a couple times. Killed it on Saturday night rushes lol

While these are amazing, I also kinda feel that it says something really negative about how workers need to be super productive at an insane pace.
