Re: My Local Walmart, Arby's, Wendy's, Subway all Closed: No Staff!
All the businesses in my area, even Walmart are having rolling closures due to staff not coming to work or not being able to find employees.

Some of the restaurants are having to close on the weekends because they dont have workers.

I have never seen this before. And, it isnt like it is something that gradually started to happen. It started happening all at once.

The Federal government is paying them too much money on extended unemployment so people have no incentive to go to work. This policy, although well intended at the time, is killing small businesses.

people literally think that they deserve somebody to pay them for nothing, and that this can be sustained over the long term

If Big Joe and Company want to start the economy, they're going to have to cut off the free money. Why the heck would anybody want to go flip burgers when they can collect a check?

Say as of June 1st Federal unemployment supplements are going back to the 2019 level. People might put on real pants and go out and see if their job is still there.

CVS is the biggest drug dealer inside the USA. Do you think they are lacking for employees?
Fucking hamburgers oh yeah, like, did your family really need to sit down inside wendy's? Fuck no, you just got addicted to eating in a social setting like the brady bunch all sat down together.
We destroyed the brady bunch era, they wanted the opposite of goodness, so you miss your wendy's atmosphere, but it never meant shit. Drive thru, heh, driving itself lacks any life when the vehicles they make, have no soul. I'd rather drive a VW bus from the old days than any fuckin car made today. I think of those poor bastards inside factories making kindles, fucking nets on the roof so they can't kill themselves. "Employers".

Are you aware that you didn't complete a single thought in that diatribe?

You went from CVS being a drug dealer (I mean, it's a pharmacy, not sure what that has to do with unemployment.), to eating inside a Wendy's, to the Brady Bunch, back to food with Drive Thru, and then started some bullshit about a VW bus and "employers."

My dude, the reason you don't make a living wage is because you're literally retarded. If you can't complete a single thought, you sure as shit can't complete a simple job.

I manage at an higher end women's clothing store in North Georgia. I have been understaffed for 6 months, and we have been busier than ever. The mall that I work in recently increased hours and we can not run the longer hours because I don't have the staff to do it. I am good at my job, top of the company and loved it until recently. I literally expect to get fired at any time because of all of the policies that I am breaking daily just to get my jobe done because I can't find anyone who wants a job. Those of us that are trying to keep it going are not going to be able to do it much longer. We are burnt out and exhausted. This is when people say screw it and start walking off the job. I would prepare to see more closures because the ones that are working are going to start quitting because we can't keep up with demand with the staff we have.

 Quoting: KRIMMY8684


I was at my salon a couple of days ago and a older guy late 50s early 60s who was semi-retired was in there. He retired from his full-time job and thought to work 10-20 hours per week at Lowe's in Cornelia until he was old enough to file for SS. He said he told them he would not work over 20 hours and just 2-3 full-time days. They started to work him 50-60 hour weeks - every single day, and he just couldn't keep it up so he quit. They can't find the help.

I've heard that a lot from people who are working - just being worked to death. My mentee is in high school and works at Walmart, supposedly part-time and is getting school credit for a works program. They've got her working 40 hour weeks at 17, and she's supposed to be keeping up with her school work?

Re: My Local Walmart, Arby's, Wendy's, Subway all Closed: No Staff!
It's been building up to this... maybe a living wage doesn't sound so bad to you guys anymore?

The whole minimum wage sector has burn out. If you don't force the people to pay a living wage... this is what happens.

Tierd of see good people working 2 - 3 jobs to pay for the same nessecities... as the rest of the world... I see them.

I know most of GLP was against the living wage, due to the egoic competitive nature of the insecurity they feel inside... but maybe people will start realizing... $15/hr would get a lot of these people back up on their OWN feet instead of unemployment.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80264879


Nope... Min Wage is for jobs not meant to be paid a living wage, what is missing are good paying jobs for those to move up to from fast food so they can support themselves.

Its not my responsibility to pay 20 bucks for a Big Mac so some new immigrant who is illiterate in their own language can drive a new Suburban.

French Fry Technician is not the Assembly Line workers replacement position.

The reason these places are closed are BECAUSE of the "living wage" people are receiving now.

Stop the "stimulus" checks and make these people go back to work.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77431736

Its not the stimulus, its the unempoloyment. The Stimulus at least gives the working guy a little bonus. They have extended unemployment during emergencies before, but never raised the amount to more then the rate of pay for working.
The federal money needs to go away. UC needs to not be extended any further when there are so many empty jobs.
I dont want to work, but I do because i have pride. I was making 1150$ a week to sit home last week for the 6 weeks we were closed down. I coulda stayed home and collected that. Im not a bum.

Live in a medium sized rural area. All fast food restaurants are drive thru only. I would say 1 out of 2 businesses has a now hiring sign up for multiple departments. Our stores that normally close at 10 or 11 pm are closing at 7pm or 8pm. Lines at any place that IS open are long and slow. Third world country stuff. Starting to feel a lot like some of the central American countries I have visited. Interesting times.

Also, I just quit working as a project manager at a painting company. There is NO paint. We were driving literally STATES away to find paint for our jobs.

Dont you people understand that you're going to pay for these companies low wages one way or another?

Let's say Bob works at walmart and makes $9 an hour. Bob is now eligible for food stamps, section 8, etc. You pay for his welfare with your taxes. If you raise wages, prices are NOT going to go dramatically up. That is a fallacy pushed by rich people. If wages go up, people have more money in their pocket to spend. So no, your big mac is not going to be $10 if wages go up. More people will have more money to spend and McD's will make it up in more sales volume.

Cough and/or sneeze around many people these days and you will see an expression of abject terror on their faces. It is actually quite hilarious in one way and equally as horrifying in another way.

I did not foresee the COVID-19 Plandemic. I did not know I would ultimately be proven correct either.
