9 Memes You’ll Only Understand if You’ve Worked in Hospitality
If you’ve ever worked behind a bar, serving tables or in the kitchen, you’ll know that there are certain moments that you’ll only experience in a pub, bar or restaurant. These are the moments that make working in the hospitality not only a totally unique place to work but one that provides so many laughs, good times and life-long mates.
1. When you're working in the kitchen and the cut you never knew you had makes itself known...
2. Transforming into the perfect guest whenever you eat out
3. When your new plate carrying skills are useful outside the workplace as well as inside!
4. When Cinderella’s tray carrying skills leave you feeling a little short of mark
