Are businesses stupid?
No employees = no business, which equals NO MONEY.
I saw a restaurant looking for employees to basically do almost every job station…..$12 bucks a hour. Who is working those jobs for $12 in this day and age……nobody I know and I’m even talking 14 & 15 year old won’t take those jobs because they can make so much more!
Every day I see restaurant closing early due to lack of staff. They put out an angry post, like the public gives a flip.
I saw another restaurant telling customers if they wanted restaurants to stay open, they better start applying for jobs. Oh yeah, let me quit my well paying job and work for slave wages to keep this mediocre restaurant alive.
This is insane. Absolutely insane.
Firstly I was making more than that in 1999. Nobody wants to work in food service, with horrible customers so they can live in poverty.
Please don’t tell me this is a teen job because who is going to do those jobs when kids are in school?
I’m picking on restaurants but this applies to so many businesses.
The pendulum has swung and the greedy ATE the goose that lays the golden egg. Now they are mad and crying,
There are only peacocks that lay regular eggs and they want to get PAID..
We live in a capitalistic society and it’s dog eat dog, only this time the business owners are the ones being eaten.
I also heard the IRS is beefing up to go after businesses that used PPP loans fraudulently
So what is going to happen?
Businesses paying more, unlikely
Immigrants - probably
Self serve - probably
Robots - probably
Zero customer service - absolutely
Ps jut saw the first self serve inside a kwik trip- gas station convenience store
