“When I was in college twenty years ago the steak house nearby had an endless amount of applicants. We have just one college student waiting tables. The rest of us include a guy in his late twenties and two middle age homeschooling moms. Are young people really just that lazy??”
The 5 of my grandchildren that are old enough to work have jobs. Two at supermarkets,two waiting tables,and one as a life guard.
They were STRONGLY encouraged to find part time jobs by their parents.
The parents are the key.

Yep-I waitressed in high school because my mom gave me no choice. Continued through college because it’s the best paying part time job I could get. After a twenty year break I’m back at it again.
Our boys started in food service at 14, the oldest loves it and became a manager at 15. The younger one worked there until 15 and prefers physical labor to customer service so now works for his dad. They had no choice about working, either. It’s what we do.
