If you have never seen the cops there, you have never been there around midnight on a Friday or Saturday night. Nothing but trouble......lotsa urban youts, lotsa weed, lotsa fights, easy to score. I am really surprised The Villages allow that.

Honestly, if I was in my late teens and 20's, the most likely age to be working in these places, and I knew there were so many CUSTOMERS who had the attitude that the reason we were short-staffed was that "my" generation wasn't willing to actually work for a living when we could get paid more to stay at home...

I wouldn't want to work there either. Who'd want to serve a bunch of uppity entitled old people who think I'm not deserving of respect? For minimum wage plus the tips that basically tell me "yes, I, the customer, am better than you are, here's some tuppence to prove it" Not me.

That's the attitude I read in this and other threads. I don't blame people for not wanting to work for companies that require they deal with the bunch of ya.

Wait a few years and automation and A.I. will solve that problem. In a few years, the problem will be an overabundance of young workers, not a scarcity!

Ever read the book, "Brave New World"? Soma, soma, round and round - soma, soma ALL fall down! Keep the masses under control by drugging them and letting them fight and party.

Which Leaves speculation that they either have a serious supplier problem or cash flow problem or about to close.

I can not understand why anyone would want to eat at the Margareta Republic when the best Mexican restaurant in the Villages is only one block away. Ay Jalisco blows away anything that the Margarita Republic tries to pass off as real Mexican food. Don't wast your time at this place.

I have no issue with that... but are the majority of Villagers ready to pay more for their food and drinks? You can't expect the restaurant owners to absorb it.

Very POOR management IMO to have that happen....

[LuvtheVillages]

I read an article recently about the nationwide problem that restaurants and stores are having, not able to hire enough employees. It said that trucking and delivery companies are also having that problem, and so deliveries are not always on time.

Could be what is happening here.

I in there a few weeks ago for lunch. The place was dank and smelled of OLD beer, it also looked very dirty. We couldn't run out the door fast enough.
