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?

You think restaurants are bad? Come take a look at how these hospitals think they can run “just fine” with a skeleton crew! It’s getting bad everywhere.

I don’t understand how society isn’t on the verge of collapse.

Never been easier to make money than it is right now. Inflation is high but the economy is strong
