Do you think the reason every fast food restaurant out there these days has now hiring signs is because they cant get anyone to work there because their target employment demographic are making more money from the government?

If you were going to get up and apply for fast food jobs which ones would you pick since its apparent there is a high chance you would be hired on the spot

They absolutely have shortages due to the stimulus payments.

If I had to choose one, it’d be Chick-fil-A

This is absolutely true, but now explain the reason they were always hiring before the pandemic started because this isnt a new phenomenon

Turnover is high in low skill/low paying jobs.

When I worked in a pizza restaurant in undergrad, we would get 3-5 calls a week from people just saying hey I’m applying to this job to meet a quota to keep unemployment benefits. Please don’t hire me

I’ve seen tons of fast food places that simply need employees. I know of some near me that have apparently had days where they aren’t open because they don’t have enough employees working on those days to operate the store.

I knew a girl who was getting $900 a month in food stamps plus unemployment, there's no way she was going get hired. She lied on her forms and nobody ever checked.

I do miss giving her 50¢ on the dollar.

Im not saying that people on unemployment abuse it because they absolutely do. Not as much as the OT would like to believe though.

But if you think they know they are supposed to be actively looking for employment to qualify and have the foresight to "ghost apply" for jobs to stay eleible you're out of your mind.

They require an ID for employment.

I don’t know how these places even find enough workers to operate. I rarely see the same person working there twice. I feel bad for the people who actually work hard.

I worked at Popeyes (causeway mandeville) when I was 18. They had me take all of the orders since I was friendly, and joked around with most of the customers. I wasn’t making very much money but I figured the least I could do was be nice to people and try to enjoy my day as much as possible.

I don’t get the same treatment when I go through the drive through now
