That is what these type of jobs are for, they were never whole life career jobs. I myself, worked in restaurants for years before moving on to a real career in engineering.
We take so much for granted...being able to travel and eat out will be distant memories and luxuries that only happen on rare occasions
Could it be that a lot of two income households became one income households, and decided they liked that better? Once you add up commuting, child care, clothing, and other work related costs, a low paying McJob becomes a lot less “worth it”.
Isn't this what the government wants though? A majority of the populace on the dole and made to be very controllable?
Sounds funny, but to really “give it to the man” these days, you don't drop out and tune in, you stay and tune out!!
My local ‘home-style’ restaurant is already operating at reduced days open due to lack of employees.
Most of the local restaurants are crying out for workers. The sit-down restaurants are limiting days and hours they are open—they just don’t have the staff—cooks and waiters to accommodate guests. Fast-food places all seem to have help wanted signs posted.
I read an article that said that 60% of New York City restaurants in September could not pay the rent. I don’t think these employees have to quit, I think restaurants are being put out of business by government.
Waiting tables is a shiitey job.
Most Patrons treat you like crap.
The Boss treats you like crap.
Working conditions suck.
And unless you’re in the “Hot New Place”, or a well established local “destination”, chances are you make just enough to pay for gas and aspirin.
On other hand, as a young-un, working in restaurants and bars at night made lots of other things possible for lots of people.
Seems that the only people you are harming by quitting a good job is yourself, I don’t see the point in putting your family in harms way by not bringing home a paycheck. Nuts on both sides.
What will they do? They all can’t be elected to Congress.
I think they forgot to mention the elephant in the room (mask/vax mandates).
All part of their plan. Plans all motivated by bad intentions.
They want a new career? What the hell are these qualified for after being in the “Hospitality” Industry? I guess they could get into grass cutting or perhaps window cleaning.
I’ve heard personal stories from two different managers recently. The first had 12 interviews with job applicants scheduled. Only one showed up. The second had six applicants. None showed up.
Both said that such applicants are just collecting the paperwork to keep getting benefits that require them to be looking for employment.
Until those benefits end, or are reduced significantly, the situation is unlikely to change.
They are entry-level jobs and people are moving beyond that.
This is a great thing.
Good. Less spit in the food.
It’s like Obama’s chief of staff said never let a crisis go to waste.
Just in time for the massive ill eagle caravans.
Have we reached ‘PEAK VACCINATION’ yet?
