This is getting series!!!
Are they sure the pizza places aren’t just closed for the holiday?
We need to identify the countries that make the most pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and pizza crust, and prepare an invasion force.
Preceded by two years of lockdowns, social distancing, and quarantine.
Golly. It's almost like the US government is trying to trash the US economy.
Let’s go Brandon!
A week or so ago a Sam’s Club in the Grand Rapids area shut down their lunch counter/cafeteria (place that sells pizza and hot dogs ready-to-eat) for a while due to “supplier difficulties”.
Was open again today.
Retail & restaurant jobs always had a high turnover. Before the pandemic, I took a retail job. Many of the workers either quit on the spot, walked out, didn’t show up, or got fired, and some were arrested, and the boss would call me in, in a panic at the last minute.
That hasn’t changed. But, now, there’s much more going on. Inflation is the biggest problem.
Maybe, just maybe, he picked a bad location, etc.? Someone was selling it for a reason.
End all of the sanctions and ensure the free flow of fuel, fertilizer, and food.
“They’ll come in and maybe work a day, then not show up the next day”
You get what you pay for. You want consistent and dependable, pay for consistent and dependable.
Half the places have closed around here, and the other half are only open half the hours. There were a dozen 24/7 diners to chose from, now there are none. Most bars were open for lunch through 2:00 am, now they open for cocktail hour and close at midnight. Pizza places that were open until 12 or 1:00am are now open till 10 or 11. Super markets were open 24/7, now they close at 11. Most stores close at 9:00. It is bullshite that it is a lack of workers — if you pay them, they will come. It is a lack of customers. Most of the patrons can’t budget fast food. They’re buying ramen noodles and rice in bulk at the supermarkets.
Something has changed. I have 4 kids and they all had a tough time as teens finding summer jobs (circa 2012-2020). Now my last teen—16 in 2022—is getting LOTS of offers and good pay at that.
