Beans & Greens

[Biggd]

Went to Beans & Green beer garden last night. Another business struggling with no help.
It was great except for the long line to get food and beer because of lack of staff. At least I could enjoy the music while standing in line for 45 minutes.
This has been a common theme this year. Where are all the workers this summer, it seems much worse than past summers.

NH Restaurants, Hotels, & Attractions Job Board ..... www.facebook.com/groups/402791503685725/ ...... July 14, Beans & Greens is in there looking to "URGENTLY hiring great people!"

Sometime back in June, 1971 or 72 I was fired from a seafood restaurant on Barnstable Harbor, Mass for over cooking a fresh fish lunch and have never ever worked in a restaurant since ....... so that should totally qualify me to join their culinary team at Beans & Greens ........ ha-ha-ha ...... !

Hey, you want some excellent seafood ..... go buy yourself a $1.50 can of tuna fish ...... !

I'm surprised that you're surprised. However one feels about immigration enforcement, ICE, etc, it seems obvious that the current environment is reducing the supply of low skilled labor from abroad.

If you're a low skilled citizen looking for a job, that's great. If you're already employed and you're just looking for a beer in a restaurant, somebody to mow your lawn, or take care of your elderly mother...not so much

Immigrant or otherwise, we have no housing for them.

Also,be careful who you’re hiring…..many of the immigrants are fleeing from criminal charges in their home country

Less, I think I was there when you were cooking, it was my first fish meal and I couldn't eat another for 20 years.... glad you moved onto something you were good at.

RE Immigration, I love immigrants, it's the illegal immigrants I have a problem with, send them back to their respective homes.

While 1.1% may not sound like much that equates to 17,000 criminals (serious misdemeanors and felonies). I for one am glad we have not allowed these 17000 in our country!
