Employees
Raisins Girls
- Main article: Raisins Girls
Raisins employs preteen girls who seem to be about the same age as the boys. The employees are usually seen wearing black mascara and red lipstick, although several others also wear eyeshadow, black eyeliner, and hot pink blush. All employees seem to be named after luxury cars.
Maury
- Main article: Maury
Maury acts as a bouncer for the Raisins girls, protecting them from "danger" as well as enforcing Raisin's rules. In "Raisins", he escorted Lexus to her bike when Butters attempted to give her a gift. In "You Got F'd in the A", he tells Stan and his dance crew that they have to buy wings if they want to speak to the Raisins girls.
Uniforms
The Raisins Girls wear orange shorts and a T-shirt with the word 'Raisins' on it (the dots on the i's are flower heads and the letters are spaced so the dots fall where their nipples are). In "Quest for Ratings", the Raisins girls were shown in new, skimpier uniforms. However, in "Butterballs", they have seemingly reverted to their old, original uniforms.
