The one BK near the middle school has a lot of teenagers working there, along with McClown. The McDonalds finally opened their dining room up after installing those touch screens, so you don't actually order at the register, and they have one person doing double duty covering the front.
They bring you your food though. |

I don't get it either, at least in NC. Government benefits haven't been a factor for a month now here, according to the people I've talked to. Tons of jobs are sitting empty, but at the same time people are buying vehicles and real estate like hot cakes at exorbitant prices. Something doesn't add up.

Your point #1 really pisses me off. I see it all the time with people waiting for parking spots. I've seen more than one person stop in the right hand lane of the freeway trying to merge for an exit at the last minute. Who the fuck would think its a good idea to stop on the freeway? I was taught in drivers school that you can't block traffic, you have to go around the block. This country, and California in particular, is filled with self centered retards.

most people quit eating out all the time, so there is also less demand.

No shit. I had work being done on my place, so I couldn't eat lunch at home as usual. No problem, there's a Wendy's close to work.
I want to eat inside, because I don't want to eat in my car or be harassed by homeless in a park. But no, there a fucking sign on the door saying we don't have enough workers to keep the dining area sanitary so we are drive-in only. Ok fine, so be it. After a 30 minute wait after I made my order, the Wendy's employees ask me what it was I ordered. I had to re-order at the window after making my order 30 minutes ago. |

Bojangles near us started offering 9 bucks an hour a year ago. Then 10 bucks an hour a few months ago. Now they closed down. I never eat there but still kinda sad sign of the times.

I drove over the pass today to see my boy before he ships overseas. Stopped at the McDs and got a flyer in my bag. $17 an hour if you work the late shift that closes at 9pm. My other boy is in lineman school and took a job with UPS throwing boxes. Was told he’d be making $16 something an hour. Got his check and was paid $13. Yep, he quit and I’m all for it. Now doing the food delivery, whatever that is called. Working half as much, for more pay and some more study time, or even chasing ass time, though I know he doesn’t get much of that since his grades are important. Was in a small college with a baseball ride when this (Removed, CoC #1. -40xb) flu started but that got shut down. I don’t feel bad for any company that can’t find an employee. Pay up and treat people right, or suffer the market.

Folks in the county i live in have been complaining about this forever too. Lazy folks sitting at home collecting. I thought it was the case too, got into a discussion with a guy who said he looked up the numbers of how many are collecting as it can be found on the DOL website for the state. Number was 54.... I said naw cant be, so i went home and looked it up. Sure enough 54.. So you wave a magic wand and put all these people back to work tomorrow you still have a labor shortage.....

Quoted: I know every one in GD would starve to death before eating fast food, but where are all the workers? I took a ride this morning around 10am and we only have 3 drive throughs in the entire county open for breakfast. McDonalds, Wendy's, and Bojangles, and every one has multiple now hiring, sign on bonus, and short staffed signs up. Every one of them this morning had the street blocked off with cars waiting to turn into the parking lot because the line was so backed up. 1. what kind of mother fucker stops in the street and waits 40+ fucking minutes in line to get a fast food breakfast? 2. Where are all the workers? I know every one says "why work when you can sit at home and collect" but are they really paying out unemployment to 15, 16, and 17 year olds? Or young kids just not working anymore? Mm?mmm the same ones that voted for FBHO , FJB and knee pads |

The non student ones that were 18+ switched to factory and warehouse jobs during the shutdowns. The work requirement for aid was nuked by Biden so those that didn't switch no longer needed work for their dole.
Most the students high school or college that want to work are being sought by retail that pays better and has better working conditions. Labor utilization rate dropped noticeably over the last year and a half. The workers that dropped out tilt heavily towards the low end of the Labor pool. |

2. Where are all the workers? I know every one says "why work when you can sit at home and collect" but are they really paying out unemployment to 15, 16, and 17 year olds? Or young kids just not working anymore? I know a lot of parents my age with kids my kids' age who tell them "don't get a PT job in HS or college, instead focus on your schoolwork and sports. It's too soon for you to enter the working world, enjoy your youth, you've got the rest of your life to work!" personally, I think they are doing their kid a disservice. They're the embodiment of Mark Twain's warning against letting school interfere with your education. |

my take away is dont live in bum fuck no where and theres no issues. you can ask about these so called labor shortages but you wont get any actual answers, just personal attacks. i was in houston and the best answer i got to see somewhere understaffed was drive 4 hours, each way.

Most of the young kids are probably at home with mom and dad, their parents are the ones not letting them work for various reasons. Most we know just don’t want their kids around nasty fucks during a pandemic. The ones out of high school took notice of the huge amounts of higher paying jobs around here... Amazon, Academy Sports warehouse, under armor etc... all are starting kids off in the $15 to $17 per hour range, they get to pick the shift they work, 3 to 4 day work week etc... They’re not working shit fast food jobs, none of them around me are paying more than $10/hr despite what all gets posted on the errornet. They all took the higher paying entry level jobs at Amazon et al... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The local McD is advertising $15 per hour for burger flippers. Maintenance guy is $20 to $25 per hour. Your state just didn't do enough stimmy. Here in Michigan? I'm seeing $18 for entry McD help. Governor wHITLmER has a much bigger teat to be lured from. Covid closed my business. I was paying entry level laborers $12/hr, skilled technicians $21-25 for dirty, dangerous work. The mandates were enough to do it, but I can't imagine what I'd have to pay to get people to show up in this environment, and my customers ire at having to pass those increased costs along. The employer not only has to pay the higher wage, but also the higher matched taxes and contributions. A lot of liability insurance costs are a percentage of payroll too. Paid time off and holidays cost more. It's insane, and if this is "transitory", I'll eat my hat. |
