H/T to Phil over at BUSTEDNUCKLES<<<< He's working on the new site so make sure to update your links.
Almost every place I have stopped for, coffee, dinner, food shopping, etc. Is lacking employees.
Here is a partial list of signs:
"Help Wanted"
"XXX.XX Sign On Bonus" ( any where from 500.00 at a bank up to 10,000.00 for a CNC programmer machinist)
"Drive Thru Closed"
"Lobby Closed, Drive Thru Only"
"Sorry No Grill or Hot Food, Limited Staff"
"Closed Early No Staff"
"This Area Closed Due To Limited Staff"
"Please Have Patience, Waitress and Food Service Will Take Longer Due To Staff Shortage" This was yesterday, late afternoon. It was a beautiful day here and we stopped at a restaurant where you can sit on the deck and watch the sunset. The deck was closed. The staff was friendly but very limited.
You get the point.
Where have all the workers gone? Are the "kids" hunkered down with video games? Parents don't make them "get a job"?
Just fucked up weird.
I'm off to the salt mine.
