People keep complaining about being short staffed. How the heck are people paying their bills? I know when we were running full bore around here, and I had a full time income, (I'm retired now) there was never enough money. Kids, cars, cable TV, the works.... how are some of these people living. I can't imagine having one of the "options" being not working!
I do think we are seeing a loss of staff in retail and fast food/resturant at both ends of the spectrum. Whereas before the great virus, if you were having a problem with a new employee, or there needed to have a decision made, an experienced manager would step in and straighten things out... there is no experienced manager in many cases. It seems everyone has less than a year on the job.
Leaving your business for the weekend with a bunch of high school kids is never a good decision. Gas stations, McDonald's, Subway, Chipoltle to name a few. By Sunday afternoon,the trash cans are full, the bathrooms are a mess, none of the tables get wiped down, and the counter people are confused or half asleep. (I didn't say stoned. ) And the owners are nowhere to be found.
So no, I don't get it.
