This is so true. I was in the restaurant distribution business for almost 50 years and visited restaurants daily. I always had respect for the cooks, waiters, and yes the owners also that worked hard, long hours at low pay.In order to compete the owner had to keep prices down so they couldn’t increase pay. I always thought instead of the government subsidizing those who refuse to work it would be much better to use that money to give tax breaks to either these workers or their employers as long as it was used to increase wages. Anyone working full time should receive a livable wage but instead of helping working people we are encouraging laziness and entitlement. This extra money would encourage people to work instead of waiting on a government check. It would increase employment, improve service, and reward those that work. No sympathy for a bum.
