Can you stop recommending restaurant jobs to every unemployed person?

[Anonymous]

If you Feds showed some solidarity and RTOwd to save our downtowns, you could have transitioned to a restaurant job. But nooooo, you wanted to WFH and kill the restaurant business.

What if he gives you a burrito?

I could, but why would I?

Well that smells like an easy age discrimination lawsuit.

NP. Ah yes, the easiest of all lawsuits…age discrimination against a random hypothetical comment about restaurant work

It’s kind of a given, right? No need to suggest it. Either you’re the type to get something to help hold you over or you’re not. Either way, suggesting it is irrelevant.

That person is panhandling because they can’t get and keep that job at chipotle. They have mental health issues and/or addiction issues; may not be able to provide ID or an address; may not have the resources to show up every day clean and sober; maybe they have kids that can’t be cared for by another on a chipotle salary. I’m sure there are other barriers to chipotle employment that I haven’t thought of.

Some places have “we’re hiring” signs, but they’re not actually hiring. It’s to make customers less upset about slow service.

Correct

Good luck with that lawsuit. They don't want to hire you because you have ZERO intention of staying. It's a placeholder until something else comes along.

And it’s my choice not to enable drug or alcohol addiction.

Have you ever tried applying for those jobs?

The restaurants put up signs so that they have an excuse to not offer good service. “We are short staffed!” But if you go in and ask to apply more often than not they say “oh we aren’t hiring, corporate won’t let us take that down”.

I'm frugal. I take lunch with me. But at least twice a month when I am in eat at my favorite restaurant. It sucks and I agree with you, WFH killed the restaurant business. And it also killed human relationships

the white collar government workers won’t last a single day in a restaurant.

?? Many of us have worked in restaurants. One doesn’t come out of the womb as a white collar government worker.

Don’t dine in restaurants that are beholden to “corporate.” This ear the worst places.
