28 Hospitality Industry Employees Share Their Working Experience With Celebs

What is it like to serve people who live in a whole different class and world to us? We’re talking about top figures that we generally see on TV – celebrities, political figures, actors, singers, stars, etc. How do they act when the camera is not pointing at them?

The image they project on the media vs. reality, how would they compare?

#1 Jonah Hill – Revealed By A Waitress

“Now this one was confusing, when I met him, he was standing in the doorway, holding the door open, going, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.’ It was either he was trying to get attention, or he was just trying to say thank you. Actually couldn’t figure it out. Weird interaction.”
