A reasonable chunk of service economy have found other ways to pay bills.
What are these other ways?

We’ve had three Officers quit this month. All three young officers with a few years under their belts. They will not stick with a career at that age group.
We have a few older people (me) who are on their second careers.

We’re even getting huge raises in a few months. Doesn’t matter. They quit anyway.

Why do they quit?
Because they don’t want to work. They’re too stupid to realize that they call it “work” for a reason.
I doubt it.
I think they probably just realize they don't want to be a parole officer. Even with a decent pay, I can't imagine there's much satisfaction or ability to move up. I don't know anything about being a parole officer, though.
Some people leave without a plan. Not all people. If everyone that comes through the doors does the same thing, that's a reflection on the workplace.

What's the market look like for management positions? Not food service, but just in general.

Experienced something close to this at lunch today. Took over an hour and a half for what I thought was going to be a quick simple lunch.
Servers were working their asses off and bussing tables in addition to their normal stuff.

Most likely the new reality for the next couple of years. What will eventually happen is a lot of restaurants will close. The mom and pops whose mom and pop are tired of working 80 hours a week because they can’t hire staff. The chains because they can’t find suitable managers because they get burned out constantly hiring staff and filling in shifts for staff that don’t show up.

I’d rather eat out in Met than New Orleans. Met has decent restaurants, easier to park, lower chance to get killed, and they never had the goofy arse vaccine requirements like New Orleans restaurants did for a long time.

And then the shite jobs with 2% COLA raises ... People are sick of this crap.
Thank you.
People always point the finger at the entire generation and say "those young wippersnappers don't know how to stick out a job".
Get fricked old man river. For decades employers have kept wages down. Decades. Now this generation is waking up and realizing they can't even afford their own grocery bill anymore without making other adjustments.
In December I was offered a 4.5% raise + a 7% bonus from my very large company that I had been at 4 years. I turned it down for a new opportunity that flat out gave me a 28% raise and a better life.

So he went out and fricking took it.
I'd walk out on my job tomorrow for a 28% raise somewhere else.

That’s not new or about generations. If new company has similar employees/culture and is as stable as current company (or close enough) who wouldn’t take a better situation with more pay. I think the guy you replied to was responding to someone who mentioned in thread people quitting without a plan, without a higher paying job or possibly even without another job; and someone else implied govt help or increased credits with advanced payments especially in regards to restaurant industry in OP which did happened a lot in fall but not sure of effect right now (outside of maybe getting reminder of the increased child credit and the increased child care credits in tax refunds).

Ever since they got rid of hazing it’s been impossible to keep people at these kinds of jobs. No esprit de corps.

The employee shortage isn't letting up, I understand.
I wrote out 1,000 words then deleted.

Wag, you are the one.

My dad is close to retirement. A few years ago his company did an internal study where they looked at people hired the same year. One group was one that worked for the same company for 10 years, one group hopped around 2-4 years, but ended up back at the original company. The first group made 12-18% more than when hired on. The latter group made 25-30% more.
They started giving their long time employees bigger raises as they realized the knowledge they were losing was killing them because they were having to hire their replacements at the same rate the original employee left for.
