I went there about 6 weeks ago and one of the waitress was clearing the table while pushing the cups and dishes into a large container and smashing them as a result. Then moments later started breaking dishes. No worker or manager said a word. Patrons just shook their heads in disbelief. As for the food, I won’t be going back.

Not harder, just takes longer.

No Kathy I don’t know. There are numerous reasons why it’s difficult finding employees right now.

Yes we know the reason, the people who work in service are finding better jobs, with better hours and pay and until those things are addressed, nothing happens. If you have lived in TV for years you would know that there are always staffing issues because we have overbuilt and the number of servers and cooks do not meet the demand. No new news here.

I taught small children for decades. I know an "interesting pretend story" when I hear one.

People will not work when they are paid better not to.

People's jobs and success at them are based on many things.

We are all born valuable but we are not all born equal in abilities and skills.

Raising minimum wage raises prices for the entire economy. There are some things that cannot be fixed with National legislation or anything for that matter.

Is the OP a disgruntled worker? Is the OP the one who broke the dishes on purpose that I just read on this thread?

Can we ever really trust any anonymous post?

One pancake was not brought out with the order and only came after the person was done eating.
After I asked for a well toasted English muffin it came barely toasted at all. Then when I showed it to the waitress and she agreed and I asked for another one well toasted after about 10 minutes she brought back another one that again was barely toasted and she said "they said this is the best they can do" This was the worst part and it was not the waitresses fault but the cooks need to go! SAVE YOUR MONEY! The Flying Biscuit has crashed landed!

So you're trying to put a restaurant out of business because you had one bad experience? Shame on you. Especially now when these places are having a hard time finding employees.

That's right - you don't want to **** off the people handling your food. Ask Sheldon:

It is well-known that villagers are lousy tippers, like the poster that proudly said he and his lady friend had hamburgers and drinks and left a $2 tip. Unbelievable! That's what is happening.

If the cook cannot cook eggs in common way he should find another job.

While traveling from state to state, the restaurant business has issues everywhere. Many who were in low paying jobs, had 1.5 years to go online, either finish a degree, or get a new one.
Because some have not adapted to working from home, they might have retired early, opening up better paying jobs for those restaurant, and retail workers.
Our group of 8 has a Cracker Barrel down the street, from our facility. We either get takeout on long shifts, or stop in after work. The manager had only one cook yesterday, 2 wait staff, and 2 register staff. Wait time was 45 minutes to get a table, food from order to table close to an hour. All staff were newer to positions, manager had his work cut out for him.

It’s not just TV it’s every, town, city, in every state. So far from our travels, TV grocery, restaurants, and retail seem to be fairing much better than the other cities we have traveled to in the past year.

Please be patient with restaurants. They are having a particularly hard time getting workers. I went to Bob Evans recently and one of the servers was cooking. Another time the manager was cooking. Went to one of the smaller restaurants and his mother was washing dishes. Things are bad. Maybe after the federal money is gone it will be better. In the meantime, let’s be patient.

I keep hearing this and wonder if this is really true.

There are hundreds of thousands of Villagers - to make a blanket statement that all 100,000 are bad tippers is ignorant.
There are probably great tippers, typical tippers and terrible tippers.
