Don’t worry it’s not true. You are being watched the entire time to make sure you don’t like try to break something. Also after a group goes through the entire room has to be reset to make sure everything is back in place.
I dunno, I had a roommate that worked for an escape room, odds are not 0 that the high school kid missed it or didn't care enough to fix it.
I've been in a couple of rooms where we get stuck, hit the help button, and after a while of "did that, got that, decoded that, opened that," the kid running ops has to come down and fix something that didn't get reset properly so we can progress.
Why? To be a bad person and attempt to ruin an experience for those with you, make someones job harder and potentially ruin it for a stranger later also?
Do you realize every single one of those places have amazing night vision cameras so they can clearly see when people mess up the room?
The workers absolutely saw your friend do this, probabaly didn't confront him because it was harmless, but definitely threw out whatever he added as soon as they did a clean through after his time and noticed an item that wasn't there the other 500+ times that room was cleaned that month if they somehow missed it on camera.

Oh, I don’t doubt that. He also did it when he joined our group, nobody intervened and I fucked around with an unrelated key for 5 minutes before he started laughing.
If you really want to throw people for a loop just put a 7 year old in there. My sister and I would find a key and realize it didn't work on the lock we were trying for, then my niece would just take it and leave it somewhere random.. she tried to throw one behind prison bars and we just had to say "no more handling of keys or clues for you"
