Let’s see how many employees does it take when don’t need order taker’s or cashiers?

I don’t know about the drive through, I would imagine it was full service?
Stopped there last week and paid with cash.

Look around they have their own entrance…..not thru Aldi’s.

The Villages has the cheapest labor pool paying $10/hour for your neighbors who work at the golf courses. Please remember that the next time you golf. They could make $18 per hour working at Wend’s or Aldi’s but are working in our neighborhood so we can all have a good round.

Your $1 cheeseburgers may be a thing of the past considering what it takes to motivate someone off of government benefits to get a job & actually show up.

Hope everyone planned well for retirement given the price increases we are experiencing!
Untrue bait material.
For one....Wendy's has had a sign out front since before opening...$11 per hour!!!

My humble opinion is that these situations are going to get worse before they get better. TV (almost all non-working retirees) is expanding too fast. Not enough workers (mostly low paying jobs) to handle additional influx. To make matters worse, BJ's is opening a new store on 27/441. Bet they are paying a hire labor rate than Wendys and other fast-food stores. I saw this fast-food restaurant going up and back then I ?''d how they were going to staff this restaurant.

Whether we like it or not US is going to need more immigrants into this country. Currently birth rate in US is declining and there will be demand for more worker bees. Politicians need to work together to rectify this "getting worse" problem.

This is not a local problem but is exacerbated by the age disparity demographics in this area.

They should just leave it closed until they can get good, trained staff in there. Had a chicken sandwich there recently and the chicken was dry and tough. Worst ever!

I stopped in there once. No counter (or real people) service. You enter your order on a kiosk. Ok, not a big problem. Except every time I put in my order and submitted it, there was an "unexpected error". Same for the guy on the kiosk next to me. We both finally said, "we can go elsewhere" since there were no human beings around who would deal with the problem. I won't stop back in.

Yep, no show workers can't complain if robots take their jobs. They get what they deserve.

Cane Garden closed at 6 yesterday because of staffing. One cook and few waitresses. Luckily we got there around 4 and got good service and our food was good.

We were there on Friday. The drive-thru was open. The front door was locked. A sign on the door read "dining room closed due to staffing shortages."
