Sonu Sood is pushing for a small but meaningful change in the hospitality sector. Taking to X, the actor requested airports, lounge operators, hotels and similar establishments to arrange high stools or proper seating for employees who spend 10 to 12 hours on their feet. He said the staff who receive and serve customers should be free to sit and rest whenever their work allows it.
Sonu Sood wants mandatory seating at airport counters and hotel receptions
The actor argued that seating should be compulsory at airport counters, hotel reception desks, lounges and service desks. Describing rest as a matter of basic dignity and not a privilege, the actor asked whether those who work to keep guests comfortable are given the same care at their own workplaces.Sharing his message on X, the actor wrote, “A humble request to all airport authorities, airport lounges, hotel managements and the hospitality industry. We see staff standing for 10-12 hours at airport counters, lounges, hotel receptions and service desks, welcoming and serving us with a smile. But have we ever thought about how physically exhausting this must be? I strongly believe every such workplace should have a mandatory high stool or proper seating arrangement, allowing staff to sit and rest whenever work permits. Hospitality is about making people feel comfortable. Shouldn’t we extend the same consideration to the people who make us comfortable? A little rest is not a privilege. It’s a basic matter of dignity, compassion and humane working conditions. Let’s make this a standard across the industry. A small change in policy can make a big difference in someone’s life.”
