As a pax and an employee today it was a **** show. Airports were packed with ****ed of pax who said F it to the masks mandate as we all were sandwiched into small areas with long lines for food and bathrooms. Hopefully out of this the Gov wakes up and at least tries to fix some of the employment problems and let's people breath again.
I expect a 128 can yeti cooler full of my favorite IPA out of this.

Thanks to our wonderful federal government unemployment stipend, everyone makes too much money not working than to serve food at the airport. The people running our country have shown what happens when you give out too much free money. Well, it's not free. Inflation is now skyrocketing. Back on point, too many airport food vendors can't staff so they refuse to open. Owners don't care because they got the PPP money making then whole or in some cases they made more through PPP than they would if they were open.

I can tell you the two restaurant owners I know aren’t in that boat. The China flu didn’t put them out of business but not getting employees might. Three others that own businesses aren’t in the restaurant business. They are subsidizing the lack of employees by getting larger equipment to do more with less people. Americans have become lazy pigs. All they want is a handout and what they haven’t worked for. It’s your money and the lazy Americans want it now!

Maybe the market has just corrected itself. Why make $3/hr as a restaurant server when similar jobs are paying much more? These businesses were quick to layoff workers without any sympathy, so I'm not sure why you, as a labor employee, fault anyone for taking a better option.

Or better yet, automate coffee making. Maybe give the barista some motivation to get a real degree or trade training so they can be both useful to society and make a decent living by providing that useful service. Because piercing every part of your body, and spending more than you make in a month on a ridiculous tattoo is not the best lifestyle choice.
