PITTSBURGH — Easing COVID-19 restrictions presents another challenge for restaurants, especially as the weather gets better: covering shifts.
Gov. Tom Wolf’s announcement of loosening the guidelines for businesses was certainly good news for bars and restaurants, as fewer restrictions means more customers.
But finding those workers is proving to be more difficult than anyone could have anticipated.
Stinky’s Bar and Grill in Lawrenceville has been advertising for a wide variety of positions, but co-owner Valerie Dowds said they are seeing a consistent theme among many of the people interested in the jobs.
“They want to come in and interview, but they want to know if they can get paid under the table because they want to still receive unemployment. It’s a struggle to get people who want to work,” Dowds said. “Our kitchen people, who have been doing so many more to-go orders -- they need extra help.”
The latest relief package includes an extension of the $300 per week in enhanced unemployment benefits and $1,400 stimulus checks for most families.

Who would ever go back there if they had other options?
We're already witnessing a migration from lockdown to non-lockdown states.
If the government can fake one pandemic, who's going to stop COVID-21, COVID-22 etc?

Why work when you can improve your income by not working?
And not have to wear a muzzle.
Pretty hard to believe these people would rather sit at home and get paid, rather than going to work all day and get paid less than sitting at home.??
Only the stupid government policy makers could not have foreseen the fact that if you pay people more to stay home, maybe they’d rather stay home than work all day, probably for less money. Gooberment by goobers without term limits.
Even during the height of the so-called ‘crisis’ stores around here had “help wanted” signs up. When the enhanced unemployment benefits ran out, a relative got a job within a week and a half.
But I saw something new on Sunday. A billboard looking for R&D engineers.
When the government was paying people an extra $800 a week to stay home who could blame them not wanting to work?
They all want to be Cali school teachers!< /sarc >
Certainly NOT the forward thinking Democrats.
