I tell ya the restaurant and fast food business is absolutely horrible. No one wants to work. The service is horrible and the food ain't what it used to be. Restaurants closing left and right around here.
It's a tough business, I know. Not sure you can lump restaurant workers and fast food workers in the same category though.
Both have been unable to get and keep employees. My experiences have been less than a acceptable since Covid. Coincidence? I don't think so
You might be right. In general, I've had shitty experiences with fast food pre, during, and I suspect post pandemic. We don't go out a lot but usually have decent experience in sit-down dining restaurants. As in all things, your mileage may vary.
