pure ideology
probably more like "I can't afford to let my favorite pancake place go under", they're fighting neoliberal accumulation by dispossession?
Odds are if they're doing this they're probably chuds and anti-vax, so they gon die.
That's the thing about capitalism. Every social space costs money or you're loitering.
I guarantee unless they're former cooks they're absolute liability.
But if it's Applebee's the just have to know how to work a microwave right?
boomers fucking stick together to save Applebee’s
fuck this place.
There's only one applebees in bc, which is where this is. It's probably from some cursed independent bar n grill that a family member owns.
Just saving up political points until America can change to "scraping the barrel".
Good, maybe it might give them some more respect for hospitality workers.
The amount of abuse I see hurled at young staff by elderly customers is disgusting.
It won't cause they aren't depending on it to live and can leave whenever they want.
true and customers will probably treat them better too
I guarantee most seniors cannot actually work kitchens in any useful way. You have to be able to walk quickly on a slippery floor with hit surfaces around you, carrying shit with other people going everywhere, it's hot, it's fast paced and exhausting. They probably have them cutting veggies somewhere in the back and not really contributing much. It's a hard job and very demanding physically. You can't just walk in and be good at it
It won't, it's a hobby for these weirdos and if they aren't being treated like they're special heroes and expected to actually work they'll take their ball and go home. See if they'll stay late when a table of 20 comes in ten minutes before close.
Oh god, I'm getting flashbacks to all the shitty jobs I've had. I'm guessing you've been there too by the sound of it.
Over ten years as a cook. Being over 40 is too old to be doing it, it's genuinely not safe for seniors, like they could die or kill someone else
I'm just insulted by it as well. Like oh, you think you can just walk in and do what I do? Fuck no.
Jesus. :fidel-salute:
I worked as a server at 'upscale burger joint' for about one year and it made me want to kms (literally)
My first job was at a sub shop and I learned for the first time what a small business tyrant was. I worked there for a few months, then I quit.
Working in service and healthcare has made me despise anyone over 40 years old unless they go out of their way to be not shitty 😊
Nah, they'll talk about how easy it is and how they need to stop whining.
no it's actually woke malicious compliance because they're old and have lowered cognitive capacity
There is a near-100 percent chance that these "volunteers" are the small business tyrants' own friends and family and that they will get bored and stop volunteering pretty quickly.
Being a literal scab is more dignified. At least a scab gets paid.
Pee-paw died of the plague so he could be a scab and prevent his grandson from having a living wage.
