We go to Culver's...went through the drive-through a week ago and the parking lot was full with outside dining that way too. Their inside is "socially-distanced" so that area is smaller. I suspect Covid as well as the lack of workers being the factor of what's happening there now. A couple of weeks ago we met friends at one of the country clubs for dinner. We had reservations so got right in. It seemed busy, at least outside, so we opted for inside. Our dining-room wasn't full at all...maybe 3 or 4 tables/booths. BUT our server really was running her tail off and it appeared to me that they might have been short staffed. Even back then I was hearing or reading similar comments as on here about local places---not just fast-food. Many of our workers drive here from surrounding areas for their jobs. Maybe it's the trickle down effect---higher gas, less hours etc. Also reading of food and products prices increasing. Think what's happening in our country (won't make this political) is affecting ALL areas of what we once took so much for granted.
