If you worked in the hospitality industry at any time through the pandemic, you deserve a gold medal. It's always been a difficult job, but during those times, the tensions were ratcheted up tenfold. Risking illness, dealing with less than compliant customers, not to mention suffering financial losses because of restaurant shutdowns, it was hellish for a good chunk of years. Thank goodness that time is mostly behind us, (not that we're not still seriously feeling its effects.)

Maybe you're still in the biz now, maybe you're not, but you'll never forget the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from being on your feet all day. The sore feet, the tweaked back, the burnt fingers… you have the battle scars to prove your journey. So while you're taking a break in the walk-in to cool off after a particularly nasty customer interaction, give these service industry memes a scroll.
