Let’s be reasonable about what a job in hospitality can offer, and due to several years of working in various cafes, I feel I have secured enough stories to share with you. That would be irrational though, and entirely unhelpful. Tell me you’ve just secured a job in a trendy café and I’ll respond with an enthusiastic and committed, ‘Don’t do it’. …although I totally loathe it, begrudge it and will drag my feet most mornings on the way to work, I also (reluctantly) love it.
