because no one else has........general dissatisfaction with service......

[PostmodernProphet]

I have noticed that there is a lot of water cooler discussion about the quality of service across the board.....people talk about long waiting lines, slow service, hard to find good help, people don't show up for work, don't do their job, can't find a sales clerk in the store, waitresses have too many tables.......all those sorts of things that seem to show businesses are having trouble filling those jobs that went empty during covid.......do you folks experience the same thing where you live?......

Absolutely...work ethic is almost non-existent....and "management" tolerates it...which is completely frustrating....
In addition, I can't think of a business that isn't short staffed and has been for quite some time....

Welcome to Gen Z.

As for me I work on contract so I only work when they call me in to.

I've been turning down most jobs lately however.

There is a general malaise in America.

Criminals are not punished and work ethics, religion and patriotism are almost nonexistent among young people.

There is criminality at the highest level of government and perversion is celebrated.

Our institutions...the FBI and the Justice Department are corrupt and there are two tiers of justice now in America.

Our citizens are divided by race...intentionally by the party in power.

Cocaine, bribery, and perversion in the White House. Our media is censoring as much of this as possible.

America's future is bleak.

This might be the best post in the history of the internet.

Thanks.

I take no solace in posting about this horrific time in America’s history.

It is comparable to our Civil War and world wars. The outcomes for survival were and are now, in doubt.

America has become Balkanized.

This Constitutional Republic is in dire trouble.

I dare to say it might even be lost at this point.

Not even sure if Trump could restore it but I'm hoping.

No wonder there is poor service, if you are spending your time talking around the water cooler instead of doing your job.
Maybe you should stop talking to people and let them do their job while you do yours.

Sounds like you and HawkEye need to get a motel!

A match made in heaven!

He is right, this breakdown of service is one aspect of societal breakdown/collapse.

The big question is how much of this has been driven by the CCP.

Buckle Up.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

I see you want to continue to provide poor service. Keep up the poor service.

We are facing a hopefully temporary reaction to the post Reagan years.

Regulations which protected workers were eliminated.

What wasn't eliminated was defunded.

Private sector unions aren't anything near what they were in my day,

public sector unions [like the NEA and NFT] are under vicious attack by reactionaries,

and the private sector has the freedom and latitude to exploit and abuse workers all that they want.

Work has been redefined from dignified productivity to pure exploitation.



Middle American white working class people who used to be Democrats

were fooled by the oligarchs to vote Republican in direct opposition to their own best economic interest.



The oligarchs exploited their racism and xenophobia to accomplish that, and it worked.

Proletarians by social class now think that they're bourgeoisie and willing participate in their own exploitation.

When the political right has been successfully purged out of existence,
people will once again take pride in working
because work will once again be appreciated and properly remunerated.

Well, half wit, the public sector unions [like the NEA and NFT] are using the FBI to label parents who only want input as to their children’s education, as terrorists.

This flipped Virginia from blue to mostly red and is resonating across America.

Do not, I repeat, do not get between parents and their children’s education.

Too many American parents are obviously not appropriate breeding material.
Addressing this problem may very well be our most immediate concern.

When semi-literate goobers think that they know more than education experts with PhDs,
it's the children, who were usually ill-advised in the first place, who suffer the most.

 

[Poor Richard Saunders]

Mind your own business

Is that what you are calling not being able to hold a job?

No, Pobre, it's called retirement.

When education experts with PhD's advise young children that a man can become a woman or vice versa, and that perversion is just swell, or separate six year olds as "oppressed" and "oppressors,” or collaborate with the FBI to label parents as “domestic terrorists,” the parents step in and say, oh Hell no!

I would have thought that even a goober like you would have understood that.

Perhaps not.

Service is pretty bad, but you are getting what you are paying for.

Have you given up Fast Food yet? Apparently not yet, as every drive through is 10 cars deep.

Does it really taste all that good?

You people are going to learn, that Fast Food was the worst thing that ever happened to America.

Now go eat your Squat-a-burger!
