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

5.No matter how many pens you bring, you always seem to end up empty-handed

6. Forks - never a matching pair and never enough of them

7. When you have to put your game face on, you know it must either be 12:30pm or 7:30pm

8. Do they even work if you don’t do this? And if it's not the top skill you learn in a kitchen, well, we don't know what is...

9. When you and your work bestie are both on shift
