Episode 1 summary

Monday David says that he's a new worker and that his name is 'Andy'. The other workers don't know who he really is. He usually wears a suit, but today he's wearing jeans and a T-shirt. He's working in the kitchen - he's washing the dishes. The people in the kitchen usually work 80 hours a week! One of the ovens is broken, but David thinks that the food is good.

Tuesday Today, he's working in the bedrooms. Next week, there is a hotel inspection. The workers are repairing things that are broken, but only in the rooms for the hotel inspector. They aren't repairing things in the other rooms. David isn't happy about this, but he can't say anything.

Wednesday Today, David is working in the restaurant. He's serving breakfast. He's wearing a white jacket and a hat. The waiters and waitresses always work very hard.

Thursday David is cleaning rooms. The workers only have a quarter of an hour to clean a room. David is working very hard. He's very tired.
