Independent restaurants are being crushed by the labor shortage. They're raising prices, cutting ope

Are you serious? What I just said is something you learn in the first week of high school Econ class.

My guy it has nothing to do with this.

There should have been convos about a mandated living wage long before this, but if it spurs it, it's worth it. Hell, min and service wages should have been increased long ago.

Don't care about prices increasing at restaurants- service wages are absurd, even if it's not specialized labor (it does take a skill set however).

In that case, then these businesses need to increase their wages to meet the competition or close down. It's not workers problem that businesses can't pay a livable wage. Workers have to make a living as well just as much as the owners of the business to be working on the cheap.

Small problem, and this goes back to my point on the first page. People don't actually like capitalism.

how does a vaccine mandate directed towards businesses with 100+ employees and federal workers effect restaurants?

He's spinning his big right wing wheel of talking points.

I’ve edited my post. I agree these aren't jobs to live off of but they never have been.

There were conversations about it back in 2015. The person pushing those conversations also ran again in 2020. Both times he was rejected by the very people who need his policies right now. Do I feel bad for them? Absolutely not

noticed that, the vagueness of their statements is a big clue. people ignorant of the finer details of an issue can easily fall for it.

This is all bullshyt. My man went for a job that pays 50k less than his last job and didn't get the job even though he has 15 years experience... All these places lying...

They don't, but that's not the workers problem

I always find the purpose of these articles rather weird as it's like businesses are trying to garner sympathy and justify to the public why they have to increase their prices. As I've mentioned before, I found it weird and crummy that they'd have no problem going on TV to complain about the enhanced unemployment like that doesn't make them look bad or exploitive.

The US restaurants tackling staff shortages: ‘We have to pay more’

She noted even before the pandemic, the restaurant and hospitality industries were experiencing labor shortages, and the pandemic likely contributed to workers leaving the industry. “The only way to attract, not necessarily the people who left the industry, but newcomers to the industry, is we have to change the industry,” added Cohen. “We have to pay more, we have to make this a viable profession.”

Drive by a burger joint all the time needing help. Last sign they had up said average pay 11-14 with tips.

And don't use sign-up bonuses either as people are hip to the game now that they don't actually increase wages.

I think a lot of people have said fukk retail/restaurants….

They were on the frontlines and hit with reduced hours, Covid exposure, AND the wrath of bytch ass customers taking their anger over mask mandates, reduced operating hours and longer wait times out on them.

You throw in low wages and a lot of them are just like “fukk it, not worth it…”.

By 2023 I’m sure most of this will sort it self out but yeah people forget we are still in a pandemic.

Emboldens democratic states to push their own equally authoritarian mandates since the president technically, has their back in this extortion scheme.

I think if they would just say.
"These mandates will be in effect until the pandemic is over"

It would be recieved a little better but it almost seems like it's a new order of existing in America and coming off as Commie-ish
