Restaurant's Hike Prices Thanks to Worker Shortages

C'mon people! Get back to work!

Friends,

It makes no sense that in 2021, there are healthy, capable people unwilling to work!

From the Daily Wire:

As the American labor market remains tight, major restaurant chains identify staffing challenges as a threat to their businesses.

The United States economy currently has 2.8 million more available jobs than workers willing to take them — a reality that permits workers to be choosy with the positions that they accept…

The Daily Wire previously reported that McDonald’s is partnering with IBM to automate drive-thrus; as early as June, executives foresee the technology appearing across the United States.

“There is a big leap between going from 10 restaurants in Chicago to 14,000 restaurants across the U.S. with an infinite number of promo permutations, menu permutations, dialect permutations, weather — I mean, on and on and on and on,” said McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski. “Do I think in five years from now you’re going to see a voice in the drive-thru? I do, but I don’t think that this is going to be something that happens in the next year or so.”

Are you willingly out of work? Is this Biden’s fault? COVID’s fault? Where do we point the blame? Let me know in the comments below.

Your humble servant,

Ben Stein
