‘POV You’re in Hospitality’ is as funny as it is true

Oonagh Keating. Updated July 4th, 2022

When Jimmy Rees covers a topic for one of his comedy sketches, you can be sure he hits the nail on the head. His recent video about what it’s like to work in the hospitality industry seems so on point that we suspect he’s writing from first-hand experience.

Whether that’s true or he’s just great at research, this is very funny – and might make you see hospitality staff in a whole new light.

Eating your dinner on your dinner break by the bins.

Working on a public holiday or 27.

Black shoes, black pants, black shirts, black bags under your eyes.

How do they ever persuade anybody to do this job?

The sketch hit home with both people in the industry and those who merely use the service.

I have a deep respect for those in hospitality after seeing this – deeper than it was before.

I see you worked in hospitality. This is deathly accurate and funny.

The feels I have for the “ah no” section. Spitting facts, Jimmy.

This is a major mood. Especially the dirty table at the end.

I don’t know why customers would want to aggravate the people who handle their FOOD.

Lachlan Smith had a suggestion to add to the enormous shopping list.

This hurt on a deeply emotional level.

The only thing you forgot was ‘carrying a tray of glasses or three bowls of soup while someone’s kids are running around underneath your feet and the parents aren’t paying any attention because they’re too deep in conversation to realise their little brats are terrorising the whole restaurant’ – beep.

Now, that was from first-hand experience.
