Lock down.

[TIC]

Is anybody else working more during this virus thing? I’m really getting hit. My wife is enjoying working from home and I’m bouncing around between three different shifts and way too many days in a row. I have one guy requesting a medical appt as he says he isn’t feeling well, this has of course created some tension among other clients we have. I think the schedule is starting to get to me and our place extended the lock down until May 20th so I have a way to go.

Fuck I shouldn’t complain about working with so many people being hit with job loss. I truly feel like shit for all the suffering this has caused. I hope no one here is getting hit in that manner. My wife’s place did some pay cuts for some levels of staffing but they aren’t complaining they know it could be worse. All the hair cutters, dentists, retail workers and damn the poor restaurant workers. So many people screwed currently it’s very sad to see.

i took a four week holiday as our orders had dropped, guys at work are saying they are now doing a week on a week off. all small businesses are fucked. this won't end soon. the future will be like demolition man, where the best restaurant was taco bell, as only the big corporations will survive

It fucking sucks. I started working in restaurants when I was 15. Later I became a waiter at a decent family owned steakhouse. I actually made good money but of course you are relying on tips. I knew plenty of women who supported themselves and children waiting tables. What’s going to happen to all of them. All of these independent restaurants aren’t going to reopen and when they do people aren’t going want to sit in smaller restaurants with clustered tables for a while. I stayed friends with people from that restaurant and I know several people still work in that place from my days. Most people probably know waiters don’t even make minimum wage. Sure you can have a week where you walk out with two grand cash in tips but what happens to them now? It keeps running through my head as everyday I drive to work and see all these closed restaurants.

whats americas unemployment like now? fifteen million? they will role out ubi, universal basic income, spain is about to do it. welcome to communism. so much for trump saying america will never be a socialist country. look at it now. i won't take a vaccine or handouts, so people like me will either get locked up in camps or die fighting back
