Minus mentioning Biden by name I’ve seen that sign in a variety of businesses. Facts are a bitch, and these places are tired of getting bitched at for poor customer service when they can’t compete with free money. I even saw one that talked about being patient and polite to their servers because they’re the ones showing up to work.

It’s not as if nobody saw this coming.

I am 70 percent on the side of the businesses but 30 percent on the side of the employees from second had stories I have heard.

There is a call center near me where the boss is known to be a big time a-hole. Major Napoleon complex. Screams at the slightest thing. If he's in a good mood things are actually okay, if he is hung over (every other day) he will go off about a wastepaper container not being exactly two inches from a wall or something. But the pay is good so people just "took it" for the money. No more "I don't have to put up with this crap" and they all left. Now FINALLY the boss got canned (he was being kept on because he was brother-in-law to some mid manager) and guess what, almost everyone is back. They were willing to work just not for that clown.

There are a lot of lazy people out there (do you really want them working for you now that you know their true nature) but this is also culling the herd of absurd bosses with attitude or a chip on their shoulder.

I was on this Burger King thing when they started building rest. down here. I went to one in the mall and there is this one lady in her 30s trying to do three jobs at once because they are shorthanded, and the one kid at the fryer is on his cell. It was like this for two or three visits, I even told a customer or two just what you mentioned above, when they got frustrated.

Then I went in the next couple of times and she was not there. By chance I was somewhere and ran into the general manager and we were talking about their success and |I had to mention the woman and its a shame she left. He laughed, he said "Richard thats the rest I eat at, her name is Shirley, I made her a manager at one of the stores, I too noticed her hard work".
