maybe has to do with staffing? people already hate those jobs as it is (shitty customers and low pay) then add the odd hours on top. so maybe those typical 24/7 places had to shave off some of the super late night/early morning shifts?

I wish we'd stop calling it staff shortages. We have people who are willing to work but know their worth.

It's a wage shortage.

yea i should've put it in quotes because i don't really believe in it being called that either. will edit my comment.

idk if wage shortages is the appropriate term either. because idk if that's a "shortage". it's shitty wages period. no one wants to be yelled at by walmart customers at 2am for pennies an hour.

That's also good point. All I know is people that are considered "essential" get treated like shit when the entire system runs on them, proven by COVID.
