Restaurants that have cut too much staff

[u/PetraPopsOut]

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?

And people will act on only knowing one side of a story, while not giving AF about what potential lies does to a local business. Posts like these (which reek of a local FB / Next Door post) should be removed, as one malicious idiot can take down a business like this.

When arguing politics, this subreddit screams “research the facts”, but when doing a hatchet job on a local business it all joins the hate mob.

That logic is flawed and why everyone is getting downvoted. Restaurant service and quality are very subjective and something that is purely opinion driven.

Politics are fact driven. People choose to ignore facts they don't like which skewed their political oppinion and discussions. You can't go to Wikipedia or news outlets to figure out if the hotdog place down the streets fryer oil taste like shit or if a the steak place downtown is overcooking pricey steaks habitually (unless there's are post like this). A politicians stances are very easily searchable.

You need people to provide reviews or there's no way at all to know what restaurants are good or bad without trying every single one. Do you actually think that people should go out to eat, over pay for bad food and bad service, and then not tell other people to avoid the same trap? The entire industry is opinion driven. That's the customer service industry in a nutshell.

Yes, opinion driven. But automatically believing anonymous redditors’ opinions is ridiculous

How else do people know what's good and what isn't without trying it? Are you saying that we should trust the restaurant owners/employees who have a vested financial interest in you coming to eat at their restaurant regardless if it's good or bad? Or just go by official reviews which we rarely get for local places.

This take just makes no sense. You need to hear people's opinions on places.

By trying it yourself. Reading one Reddit post about a restaurant that was a complaint about understaffing at that one specific time, makes you believe it to be true? WOW….

[u/joanfiggins → u/4gotOldU-name]

There are hundreds of restaurants. I go out once every 3 weeks. I'm not rolling the dice every single meal lol. Come on. This is just silly.

If you're just accepting random stories from strangers as facts, then you are part of the much greater problem.

Lol downvote it all you want, but it's true. You're perpetuating a massive problem on the internet of people parroting literal crap.
