You gotta just get takeout now if you're gonna go out almost. Unless it is a pretty nice place.
Service has just gone way down last few years. I have a friend that works in corporate at a big chain so we talk the labor shortages here and there.
Definitely a combination of factors to that, but obviously cultural decline amongst young people is a big reason.
certainly agree we all walk into a restaurant with a different expected level of service than 10 years ago but to claim waitresses will crash the economy is bizarre. The economy is being compromised from the inside like mandating brutally inefficient EV technology, firing people because they won't take a killer jab, and shutting down pipelines during an energy crisis. The broad with the septum ring, Ukraine tat, rainbow wristband, and moustache plating your empanada has nothing to do with it
Agree that policies are killing us but I also find myself caring less about who wins elections these days when whoever gets to coach the team is basically inheriting the Texans. The politicians are bad but the people honestly worse. Cultural decline is on display more than ever when I am out and about.
This isn’t even an R/D thing (well I guess it is with the body positivity stuff and all that) but they say obesity is up 30%, what is the % increase in people just being fucking huge? Non-functional size I am talking. It’s gotta be 400% last 15 years. You just see some massive 1 foot in the grave motherfuckers these days on a way more regular basis.
Gonna be ugly in 10 years, shrug

as predicted a month ago....from bankers to bartenders
White-collar office workers appear to be feeling the brunt of the Fed’s actions: The financial and business sector saw a large decline in employment last month. Service and construction workers, meanwhile, are still thriving.
Leading the gain in jobs was the leisure and hospitality industry, which added 83,000 jobs in September — and employment in food services and drinking places made up 60,000 of those jobs alone. Manufacturing and construction also came in hot, adding 22,000 and 19,000 jobs, respectively.
The largest non-governmental losses in jobs came from the financial industry, which shed 8,000 between August and September. Large banks hire in cycles, extending offers to recent graduates in the early fall months. That makes this September’s drop particularly significant
transitory 0% inflation. thanks Joe!

Key inflation measure climbs to 40-year high as shoppers brace for more pain
- The Consumer Price Index rose 8.2% in the year through September, the government said Thursday.
- That landed above economist forecasts and marked a very small slowdown from the August pace.
- Core inflation — which removes food and energy costs — rose to a one-year rate of 6.6%, the highest since 1982.
