It's Boomer retirements, which they knew were coming for years and low-to-zero immigration. So many businesses have had to backfill, and it's trickled down to no one having to work crappy $10/hr jobs with customers. So many other businesses relied on an underpaid person born in 1959 who hasn't had a raise in 20 years because they were content, and now that person is gone and those businesses want someone with the same level of expertise and the same or lower wages.
That’s me praying every day for my elderly MAGA co-worker to finally quit and force the manager to find another slow, poky, arthritic cashier to silently judge every customer with blue hair.
Nurse internet buddy of mine has a theory that long covid is knocking way more workers out than the media would ever admit to.
I'm always proud of the fact I've never been to an Applebee's.
scary if true, but I guess there is no way to know
just wait a few years:)
