Restaurants where I live are desperately short staffed

Crazy that people would rather get a free $800 per week to sit at home , than to go to work for $500 per week.

Hard to figure out

A bartender, eh?

Learn how to cook and make your own drinks, problem solved.

It's not only the money. Who want to work in a mask all day?

I revived a 5 year old espresso machine after my coffee maker broke. Realized I never used the milk frother. I've been making all kinds of awesome coffee drinks. From lattes to iced coffees.

I cook pretty good too. Made an amazing filet with perfect mashed potatoes the other night.

About to make some breakfast sliders.

Third world nations do have limited choices in dining.
You better get used to the new and improved poverty ridden America.

Where the Cartels roam free from sea to shining sea.

In Portland they are slashing tires, and smashing windows of terrorists who go to work.

All part of the plan
They did trial runs on universal basic income and most people didn't want to work
So it was introduced as part of the Great Reset to destroy small and medium business
It will be fine for a few years until inflation kicks in and they start cutting back on payments

"He that giveth, can taketh away"

Well, that, and the fact that the idiots shut down most of the restaurants and bars so the people went and got other jobs. My daughter and her friend both got laid off from the bar they worked at. They both now work in another business and making a lot more money.

And also do you really want to go back to those types of jobs? They will be the first to be shut down again if they release another "virus".

No one wants to work for peanuts these days. They don't even get paid minimum wage.

Perhaps change that employee meal policy?

That doesn't make sense. There's no way that unemployment can support that many people. If there's work available there should be less unemployment. There shouldnt be both a shortage of workers and record unemployment. The economy will completely break sooner than later under this condition.

Good.
All the times I was denied a job because I was over age 45 but could turn circles around these whiny little SJW anti American sloths who demanded more than 15 an hour to stand around with their thumbs up their asses,, I am loving watching these places go down.
They don't want to hire any of us older than 45 and younger than 60 even though we still look good and we have manners and we can light fires under the asses of the teenyboppers and put out the fires they caused with the clients or customers.

Have at it small business. You deserve it.

Same shit

I made $500 every Friday and Saturday night serving tables and $400 for a double shift during the week. So what if my "wage" was $2/hr? The restaurant only reported 1/3 of my actual tips so I was making really, really good money.

Are you in Michigan?

same here in north eastern PA. every place is offering signing bonus, $18 an hour, pleading with people on signs. stores closed saying no waitstaff. this is way the hell out in the sticks too.

the real issue is the guberment is paying people more money to stay home than to work its not just the restaurant industry. there are signs around my town saying help wanted.

I can hire 100 people if I want, but nobody wants a job.
Bump for truth.
God wants us all to work for our daily bread.

I currently employ 50 people. Haven't had any trouble growing from 45 at the beginning of this year. Dunno what industry you're in... I'm in tech.

I wish they would label unemployment as "government money" so the rest of the working economy didnt have to take their money.

Make gov. Benefits only redeemable at the local soup kitchen.

People wont wear masks at jobs that sucked before Covid.

Turnover is unprecedented at other jobs too. Work from home has prolonged the mask theater.

No way I'd work 8 hours a day in a mask for scuzzy government sector workers who don't have to.

Imagine the shit the zoggers got the military doing... Masks, high heels, vaccine, sex change surgery.

People have no clue whatsoever how quick Trump let it turn to shit when he saw how easy it was to drain the entire system of wealth.

Why should we work? Unemployment tells me not to accept a job that pays less than what I'm used to making/qualified to make.

All by design

Thats their goal... and its in motion

I know you must have worked in a predominantly white area because blacks do not tip.

No one wants to deal with rude ass customers & coworkers for a measly $9 an hour or $220 a week.That sort of work load is for clinical psychologists,lawyers & police.Buisnesses of that sort should be family run.They may blame it on welfare but there really just too picky with whom they'd like to hire as if anyone on welfare or unemployement was really qualified to begin with.Just imagine a dozen of their interviewees.Probably right though need to drag some of them fatass lunch ladies out of the trailerpark & give them some culinary lessons on how to cook something other than frozen nuggets.Someone's literally getting away with murder in this country.Anyone worthy of taking on such a task,working in a kitchen;entry probably has tattoos,a mental health problem or criminal record maybe both & is probably trying to flee the US to Mexico.Everyone else just rakes in cash from their parents or government jobs.It's America & for the most part
you're gonna be able to find housing or food regardless or your employment situation,at least up until it gets dark.If you so happen to be Baltimore,Chicago or Philly you may be sleeping outside & eating trash.

Bet they dont enforce masks eithers.

These businesses are hanging on by a thread. Beggars can't be choosers. They're whores for consumer money.
