Reply to comment by myopinionnoconseq in I have an $18,000+ bill leftover after dropping out. How to not let it crush me? by myopinionnoconseq

It's hard to believe because coming out of the pandemic the food service industry is really hurting for bodies. Literally every single food service in my city is hiring right now for every position. I am curious where you live where food service is just straight up denying more help.

I think considering the employment climate, it's easier to assume the person is just not trying or is being rejected for other reasons than the idea that everything is fully staffed up. I also live in a college town, and the fast food restaurant across the street has been hiring for 2+ years now, and I have not seen a single food service fully staffed since pre-pandemic. Signs everywhere no matter where you go.

and you think people are just choosing to be jobless rather than apply to fast food?

Sometimes its not their choice, but sometimes its not because there are no jobs, it's just because they are un-hireable for whatever reason.
