Title: The staffing crisis has arrived
Post by: ToddF on April 25, 2021, 03:33:58 PM

They're closing down dining rooms in my neck of the woods, Iowa, again.  Wuhan?  Nope.  Staffing.  Apparently people are figuring out they can collect more in "emergency" unemployment benefits than they can working and it's starting to effect services.  of our two Dairy Queens, one is totally shut down and the other is drive through only.  Culvers can't guarantee the dining room open so much of the time is drive through only.  Panda Express, ditto, and those are just the ones I know of.

Anyone else seeing this?

We haven't been to a restaurant since last May (wear the face diaper in but take it off at table   ::saywhat:: ), but, in speaking to a man at Lowes Home Improvement, he said they're always short-staffed now (and, boy, are they ever) because of the "free" money allowing people to not work.  He, on the other hand, has two jobs.

This was predictable, and the GOP is complicit. I’d love to blame it all on the Dems, but the GOP was in on the genesis of this disincentive, President Trump signed it, and now it’s the status quo.

Agreed, you do even a small deal (you think!) with the Devil...the Devil will exploit it in every way possible.  Always happens.  How many times, how many years...decades...have we seen feckless cucks betray us in "little things" because they didn't have the votes (more like didn't [or ever] have the courage) to fight it?  Same damn thing...

The Masters think they have the plan and can survive "the reset"...

The best lessons are driven home with pain...our only interest should be in making their pain the worst.

What is the welfare status now? Unemployment still extra long? I thought that was long gone.

Forget official numbers...gamed as they always are...and nobody is reporting on the bills Pelosi and Schumer are slamming through and the addle-brained JoeFraud puppet signs...who knows how many vile bastard amendments are being rubber-stamped and deemed "law"...not to mention to complicit states in this madness...

I'm pretty sure the extra unemployment was extended as part of the last "stimulus."  That's why no one wants to work.

Well not everyone is a loser.

My good friend lost her full time job and she went to work as a manager at a fast food place because she's got 3 kids and needs the benefits.
