Me, whenever I see businesses complaining about “lazy workers” because they won’t work low paying minimum wage jobs:
Most of these businesses were deemed necessary during the pandemic (like fast food jobs), which means they never had to close and never had to lay anyone off. They were able to offer steady employment during lock down
So ask yourself, why are they in desperate need of employees now? The answer is because their staff either died, got fired for taking sick days, or left out of fear that their workplace wasn’t protecting them. Or all 3. There’s a lot of data coming out recently that the fast food industry suffered huge staff loses due to covid illness, especially among line cooks because poor ventilation put them at higher risk
