In a viral TikTok video, a hotel front desk employee shares what he does during his night shift, sparking questions from viewers in the comments.
User @femomvny10 begins the video by saying, “Another day, another dollar. The night supposed to be busy so I gotta–” user @femomvny10 says while clocking in, before immediately interrupting his shift with a trip to Taco Bell.
After he purchases his food, he returns to the hotel and watches Hardcore Henry on his computer. Next, he goes to the pool to swim for an hour, which is followed by an hour-and-a-half-long nap. Awake from his slumber, he plays Call of Duty and finishes the shift by making a cup of coffee and taking out the trash.
The video is captioned, “Working hard never hardly working.”

Update 10:27am CT, Aug. 23: @femomvny10 told the Daily Dot he has worked at the Red Lion for a little over two years as a front desk agent. “It’s hardly ever busy at night which gives me a lot of free time to do other things,” he said.
He added that he didn’t think his video would “do as well as it did.”
“I knew it would catch peoples attention cause of how unconventional it is to do those types of things at work,” @femomvny10 said.
He also said he is not worried about getting fired and encouraged people to “have fun no matter the setting.”
“Life is too short to worry about getting fired,” he said before adding, “Ok I’m just kidding, don’t get fired but make sure your enjoying yourself no matter what you do.”
