I agree. My son who is 28, has been working ten years as a cook in Richmond. I watched the show called the Bear and recomended it to him, as it dealt with the honest environment in most restaurants. He watched the show and told me he almost turned it off as it gave him PTSD. Restaurant work, suffers from the same Capitalist bullshit as everyother business. Treat and pay your workers badly, while trying to convince your employes you are doing them a favor by abusing you this way, that its part of the training. The problem isn't restuarants, its about trying to feed people with the Capitalist approach of raking in the most money for the least amount of money spent. As my son would say, there are way too many restuarants. If you can't make enough money to pay your workers a living wage, then get out of the business. Covid and the advent of Door Dash only compounded the problem for kitchen staff. They are now suppose to cook for an entire restuarant, while feeding an entire city at the same time with no additional help. The only thing big cities have is a great many more terrible customers.
