Tell me you've never worked in hospitality without telling me you've never worked in hospitality.

I spent years in restaurants and retail stores working thru my teens and twenties.

The management in those places is usually a joke. Over serious, under educated people taking themselves far too seriously. They work hard because they're inefficient most of the time, not because the jobs are actually difficult too. At least that's the experience I had along with my friends before we got wise and gtfo of that environment.
