Why I hate working in the hospitality industry

It's on nights like this that I remember why I hate working in the hospitality industry

1. You will always need to work on weekends. Always! Unless you kiss ass or are high up on the ladder you will always work Saturday or/and Sunday. Forget about partying but always have beer handy at home you'll need it to forget about everything you missed out on.


2. Some people are lousy tippers. It doesn't matter that they've spent $300 on their bill an extra $4 for a tip will surely bankrupt them.


3. There will always be someone who comes in right before you close. Kitchen staff forget about leaving in 10 minutes and servers good luck getting out in half an hour. They will take their time ordering and also spend 30 mins talking before they touch their food. If you're on coat check good luck getting out by midnight. 

4. You will always and I repeat always have at least one guest who ruins your day. They will ask you a stupid question, complain about nothing, treat you like crap or do all at the same time. But don't forget to smile!


5. You know summer when all the great stuff happens like bbq's and beach parties yeah you're never gonna be there.  If you manage to make it everyone will already be drunk and possibly passed out. Cheers! Now chug that last beer. 

6. Holidays?! What holidays? You'll be working them that's for sure!
