This employee shortage is getting real. Went to Taco Bell off N Cedar and apparently they closed at 4pm due to lack of staff. Then tried little Caesar’s across the street. They said they had stopped taking orders because they were understaffed (around 6:45 tonight). Ended up at subway

Hey lover boy! Check out the per capita COVID comparison charts on the Financial Times and let me know who you think has done a better job with Delta. New Hampshire and Vermont at their worst are about the same as Florida at its best. So yeah, vaccines work damn well. But you know that. I know you probably got your booster. You just like to get on here and act like a country bumpkin Trumper.

I'm seriously starting to wonder if everyone here is actually dead and we've burned all the bodies like China.

It’s crazy. Our governor needs to fight the mandates like DeSantis and protect our businesses. It’s hard enough to find help. They don’t need this extra burden

Granted he may already be doing so and I’m just unaware

Well. Let's put this in another perspective. People have been saying these are unskilled, low skilled jobs etc. They are anything far from it. Sure there are teenagers that work some of these jobs but that might make up a small percentage, if any, of the staff. Most of the staff in these restaurants are adults. Many of them have families just like people in any other profession. So when they hear other people online saying and assuming that the job their working is low skilled, unskilled, it's not a job that someone should make as a career. Then is it really a surprise that many of these people quit or move on to another profession that pays more money?

Then there is the rudeness and outright disrespect that people in general have for restaurant workers in particular. I don't know why it's that way but it is. It's gotten worse during the pandemic.

Many of these restaurants should have been paying their employees more money over the years. Especially the ones who were actually good at their job and willing to stay. And trust me these restaurants could have paid more money over the years. Chik Fil A and other restaurants started doing it and you really don't see them closing early or being as short staffed as other restaurants.

I think as a society people need to start showing more respect for people working in the service industry. I know a lot of people do respect them but most people don't. For whatever reason it's looked down upon.

Their job is low skilled and the point of those jobs is to move out of them and into higher skilled and better paying jobs. For the last 60 years, that’s what has occurred.

But the inability to find people willing to work has never been this bad at any point in history. The number of times I’ve tried to go somewhere and they’ve been closed do a lack of staff has been more this month alone than my entire life combined.

The issue isn’t that these people are underpaid. There’s a surplus of unemployed people right now. The issue is the government has been incentivizing people not work and to make things worse they’re preventing unvaccinated people from finding work. This is a government created labor shortage.

New Zealand Prime Minister Admits "There's Not Going To Be An End Point To This Vaccination Program" | ZeroHedge

People who fail to continually get vaccinated will face the same fate as those who have continued to resist compulsory shots, they’ll be out of work, face social ostracization and God only knows what else in the future.

Enjoy your lifetime booster shots and enjoy not being able to travel, visit a restaurant or eventually go in a shop if you miss out on just one.

Remember, if you don’t take the Pfizer jab for life, you’ll never be “fully vaccinated”.

Obviously they are not low skilled as you expected them to provide you food that you weren't willing to make yourself. And plus you felt the need to share it on here that places are closing early. So obviously these are places you frequent. After all you could just go to the grocery store, buy your own food and cook it from here on out.

If people like you expect these places to be staffed then maybe show a little more respect for people who are willing to work there.

And like I said it's not every restaurant having that problem. It's certain ones mostly. The ones having the issues are probably not paying as much or there could also be an issue with poor management and ownership and people simply are tired of it.

It’s odd you assume I’m disrespectful to them. But I’m not going to play your weird virtue signaling game and pretend like me not wanting to cook tonight implies their job is highly skilled. If we are pretend Hardee’s is skilled labor, it’s an abomination to language. What will we call doctors or engineers if we use the term “skilled” for the least skilled of jobs? It’s absurd. You’re not even attempting to make an argument. Just one giant virtue signal.

you are welcome to quit your job because this is America. That doesn't mean you are not making a mistake, it means you you are free to make mistakes.

Give it up, man. These are low skilled jobs. That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t show these employees respect, and it doesn’t mean the positions don’t need to be filled. The government needs to quit paying people to sit on their butts and quit paying them to have kids. It also needs to enforce the law and aggressively prosecute those that break the laws.

I don’t think it’s certain that they do work against the omicron variant, it depends on the specific advantageous spike protein mutations and whether existing antibodies recognize them, and if so, to what degree are they effective.

Just more fear porn being pushed. Every year from here on out another “variant” is gonna pop up that’s “33% more transmissible”. This is all deliberate and unfortunately it works. The rubes will eat it up and yet again be afraid of their own shadow because Dr Flipflop said something.

You know how I know these are not low skilled jobs. Because you and probably 90% of the people saying they are low skilled couldn't last working a week in a restaurant right now. Doubt many people on here could handle the stress involved to work in one.

I also highly doubt some of the posters on here can even pop open a can of biscuits and cook them in the oven.

And if you think that lowly of people that work in restaurants then please make your own food.

So you know how to make biscuits and sausage gravy fresh from scratch? You know how to manage a restaurant? Are you saying you could easily apply for a restaurant manager position and they would hire you on the spot? You got the stress and stamina to handle it?

The point is you expected to be provided a service from 2 other places before you moved on to the third. Why? Because cooking is a time consuming task and restaurants are there to provide a service for us and prepare meals for us when we don't want to. If it's easy then make your own pizza fresh from scratch instead of depending on Little Casears to do it next time.

And it's not virtue signaling. It's blatant, outright disrespect some people have for a certain industry. I am simply pointing it out. And I was also letting you know reasons why people don't want to work those jobs right now. Apparently it offends you and other people that I'm taking up for people working in a certain industry. Why would it offend you?
