I agree. I saw an interesting article a couple of weeks ago that was interviews with food service workers saying that covid disruption gave them time to realize they don't need to work their butts off for pay that is often not good...they have better jobs now...etc

Leaving aside whether those jobs were underpaid or not, if even 10-20% of food service people believe that, it will be quite a pinch

Agreed, a lot of former service industry help are finding other jobs with better hours, better pay and better benies! I think they are in for a long tough winter.

Which will just lead to prices going up and going out to eat gets more expensive…..

Along with less options which will lead to long waits for seating even though it is off season.

Default Repeat of an earlier post

Our solution is to fire up the grill, prepare something easy and delicious, add a simple salad and a view of the lake……PERFECT! No wait, no agitated crowds, and a great solution for us. I actually prefer doing it this way…..but it’s probably not for everyone.
