I don't think Uber/Lyft drivers qualified for unemployment since they were not employees,
With the new programs, they can.

Well that's just bullshite.
Its fact.
Most restaurants will literally hire anyone for their lower tier jobs, which you cannot open a restaurant without.
Most people in that industry are caught in a revolving door.

The vast majority of the people existing on UE benefits right now...are people with absolutely zero future prospects. So...not you. You are not the prime example, you are the exception.
Their "skills" (majority of work they do is automated or...stupid proof), do not warrant $20/hour without government frickery.
Autonomy doesn't matter for Laquesha and D'Shawn. What matters for them...is how can they get paid with doing as little as possible. The government has shown them how...repeatedly. You will deal with the fallout from this when you graduate. Welcome to hell.

If you want me to work for $12 an hour you should expect me to be disengaged, on my phone checking my school work for the day, apathetic, and to miss shifts when I don't feel like working.
This is the exact shite mindset that will keep you a miserable and poor person.

Frankly, your better FOH employees are going to be making money like this anyway.
It's back of house in most places that's totally fricking restaurants right now.

This.
$12 an hour is still shite pay.

Restaurants need to evolve away from waiters. Just let me pick up my order at the counter and bring it to my own table. Have an area with silverware and everything anyone would need.

You realize most CEO compensation is not cash correct?
You pay people what it takes to attract and retain. If you have no skill, you have nothing to trade for value.
McDonalds locally pays $13-$17.

It's a generalization and massive overstatement.

Busses, dishwashers, line cooks, sure.
You can't bartend, wait tables, or manage a kitchen if you're an idiot, and you'd be amazed at how little kitchen managers make.

I wonder how many reasonably competent people shifted to things like DoorDash or Amazon Flex just to control their schedules. I see so many more drivers picking up now when I go get takeout. The few times that I've ordered through Grub Hub or whatever, the drivers looked pretty clean in decent cars. We've also got groceries doing delivery now.
From the handful of service industry friends I've talked to, unemployment didn't make up for missing paychecks.
One of my best friends who bartended for years switched immediately over to a dealership when lockdown hit. He made moves before anyone else did (before he even applied for unemployment), and dude has been raking in the money compared to his old bartending gig.
Everyone went out and bought new cars this past year with all the money they saved sitting at home + stimulus hoopla, so he's still selling 30+ per month.

The labor shortage is caused by the government, not by the free market. Big difference.
Ordinarily, I would think an alleged college graduate would understand that, but you sound like a lazy, unmotivated, ignorant person.

I know Chili's and some other national chains were experimenting with the IPad ordering system at your table. I know there is one in Abbeville that was trying it out. I thought it worked great when I was there several years ago. I expected it to be rolled out nationwide and even at fast-food restaurants.
I haven't seen it at any other places since then, and I'm not sure why. It allowed one waiter to serve double (or more) of the the normal amount of tables.
With the labor shortage, and the push for higher minimum wage, these tablet and kiosk systems make so much sense.
Why are they not more of a thing?

But you can't teach that monkey time management, how to multi-task, balance a register, know which beers to front stock, proper opening and closing procedures, how to read the schedule, and on and on.
Also, when a guest gets pissed and throws a drink back the monkey can rip the guests face off. It's generally frowned upon when a human bartender does that.

Thanks for your input, anonymous. I'll be sure to notate it for reference during my upcoming graduation and subsequent position with my F100 company.

because a lot of people do not like kiosks or iPad ordering systems
you know how some people struggle with self checkout in a grocery store? now try to get those same people to order from a kiosk
we just aren't there yet as a populace
basically I'm saying the boomers need to die off first before this becomes a common thing
