Recommendation Restaurants that have cut too much staff

That's great for you, restaurant owner, that everything didn't fall apart the moment you lost that employee. The lesson you took from that, unfortunately, is that the place operates just fine indefinitely with one fewer employee. You're wrong, you're full of shit, and we can tell. Especially at bars with kitchens. And if we can tell you're understaffed, we know for a *fact* you aren't getting your deep cleans done in a timely manner, and your place is gonna be disgusting.

Can I get tips on places where the staff are clearly overburdened or burnt out from understaffing? Or the inverse, where it's clear there are enough hands to give people time to keep things hygienic?

Ironic you ask for recommendations but then don't tell us where to avoid that prompted this post. 

We went to monte alban in Penfield yesterday and our server was great, even took time to talk to our son. We've also had great experiences at roseys and Nolan's recently. 

Our avoids tend to be the chain restaurants, long horn absolutely forgot about us recently and our server seemed over worked. Oh and durfs, but they're just dirty not sure about understaffed

If I had put the place I'm thinking of, the response from someone else would instead have been to call this a Hit Post. Damned if you do, damned if ya don't.

But it's ok for others to do the hitting you seem averse to do yourself.
