My personal, anecdotal experience is that almost the entire restaurant and bar industry (except at the very highest end) seems to be going down the toilet at 100 miles an hour, primarily because the owners can’t find a member of the “Millennial” generation they can count on to show up and work. Service just continues getting worse and worse over time.

I agree with your anecdotal experience regarding chain restaurants. They’re suffering. More from folks turning their nose up at them than anything. The trend is toward local restaurants with more unique dishes and experiences. And it makes sense. The chain restaurants are expensive, and the food at most of them is sort of meh. Why would people choose to eat there when there are local restaurants with better, more interesting food?

On the fast food end, the BKs, Mcdonalds, etc. are competing with supermarkets. Its easier and frankly cheaper to pop into a supermarket for some ready made sushi than it is to get a death burger served slow.

Politics is a scam and we’re suckers for playing.

Exactly. I no longer deal w/ chains, as every other time I ever went to one the server or clerk would be an uncaring, selfish brat who couldn't care less for the job much less me, the client. I guess that was on the days they bothered to show up for work.

Our schools have taught them entitlement and no work ethic.
