Two tales of restaurant jobs...

The main reasons are entirely consistent. Just two blind hands on different parts of the elephant.

I just got back form Carolina beach. Saw restaurant staffing issues with my own eyes. We tried to have lunch in a mall and as we were walking in a customer who was leaving said the place had only a single server and service was backed up an hour and suggest we try somewhere else.

So we go across the street and are waiting to be seated. A customer again walks out and says 'you might wasn't to rethink this, I was seated 30m and no one came by once'.

A third place right on the beach actually closed Sunday night
of Memorial Day weekend because they had insufficient staff.

One final data point, the McDs had a large sign up offering 12/hr for full time workers.

It won’t last. I’m taking bets if anyone is interested.

Let’s look in August. Alternatively if you feel strongly it will last keep doubling down.

Since the European students won't be taking those jobs, maybe the restaurants can import anti-vaxxers to take the jobs.

Not to mention that there is a shortage of literally everything right now. There was a stop and a start and the supply chain is whacked.

People are fools if they think the pandemic has caused our population to significantly re-evaluate their life’s purpose and meaning. I’ve been laughing for a few months now even as so called evidence has come in. Fleeting thoughts pass like farts in the wind. Journalists respond to the moment blind to human nature.
