I absolutely DO NOT care enough about your business to work THIS hard! And fuck you if you expect your staff to work like this.

Oh, it's already a disaster. Considering how short staffed every restaurant is right now, he's probably the only server for all those tables

But still, there's no excuse to be RUNNING and JUMPING like that. Walk fast and be hustling sure. That can only go so long without someone
getting hurt.

Not in this case. Parents should do better at not letting their crotch goblins run around in restaurants. You’d be surprised….
I've worked food service. I'd like to use screaming crotch goblin as a screaming flail on the parent until there's finally some quiet.

This is basically everyone who works in a restaurant right now. We’re short staffed af.

I think it's almost any job now.
BenderBendingRrodriguez
I used to work in a restaurant, after 2020 I switched to a deli. I'm not going back

Lol I’m in agony and my knees hurt. Oh well, just keep chopping….
mattbl
"No one wants to work, damn federal unemployment!" Meanwhile in my state UE is 4%, up 1% from pre-covid. It's not work ethic, it's pay.
People seem to not realize that all the restaurant workers who got laid off during covid just found different work and aren't going back.
WeCanDoBetter9
Yep and when I go out, I know it will be slower and get it. Good luck.
Espada6
the whole world is short-staffed...
AnonsAndMinions
Get a better job, or demand more pay. You're in a very unique situation where you can demand better for yourself. You're worth more.
rafizard
I walked out of my job because I was expected to bartend and run a section more than twice the size of any server we had without help.
Yeah, it’s pretty unreasonable. Plus you foh people have to deal with the angry customers who expect normal service.
I've done both and now I'm looking at boh jobs again at smaller local places, was at a very large chain. I'll miss the tips, not the people.
zafner
Thank you for your service
isthatgoodicanttell
Lol
meauho
As a veteran, that's the first time I've read that sentence and actually considered it appropriate.
They’re paying us more now, so it’s fine.
FallenSnowFeather
It's still not enough for the work you have to do, from someone trying to get their way out of food service permanently
Yeah. I work in a 5 person kitchen, we’re short two people and busier than ever. Every night we just get crushed.
Jt68686
Hmm seems like the perfect time to ask for more money. What are they going to do, fire you? There's plenty more jobs out there
HodgePodgekin
Why are they short staffed?
Enoan
Some died, some quit.
HaydukeLivesGoddamnit
Because they are not offering competitive compensation in the current marketplace.
@blaintog summed it up. Where I live we also rely heavily on work visas, which weren’t given out this year do to COVID.
Sorry for the dumb question - Work visas for restaurant workers, or visa workers who would be customers at your local restaurants?
Work visas for restaurant workers and other service industry jobs.
Basically we import labor during our summer tourist season, and that reduces demand for workers and keeps pay low.
That’s messed up. The only beneficiaries are the business owners who get cheap labor, and the locals aren’t incentivised to work there.

Can confirm. I work back of house, we're down 3 chefs out of 6. We are all burnt out, and I am so close to giving up

IamJACKSventedSPLEEN
Thanks the Gubmint Dole for that
Most people got better jobs when stuff reopened or went back to school. They had the option to look for jobs that paid better. They're not
Sitting at home. My state cut it off and still no one is going back to the crappy jobs.
giordanom
Absolute nonsense. Unemployment is back where it was, people want to work, they just won't work for shit wages and shit bosses.
My bro's restaurant pays minimum 17.50 an hour, food costs same as any sit-down place, never had short staff.
Actually it has been returned to normal in many states. The market is choosing against these businesses.
LuLuPennyAndOdium44
Bullshit.
TekDragon
You're supposed to lick the crony capitalist boot, not deep throat it.
newsguycraigevans
States that cut unemployment benefits have not seen an increase in work force, so your assertion is bullshit.
