Restaurants....How do you choose

@gingerw , recently, I've had to wait at restaurants, because the employees aren't showing up for work, everyone has their stimulus check and just not coming in. Have you come across that? I hit it everyday trying to accomplish things, like the plumber I called. Nobody in at work, all at home with stimulus money! I had to wait an hour for a table at a restaurant last week because the workers didn't come in, that's the excuse I was told.

We have no shortage of restaurants or workers here in Florida. At least this is my experience in the Tampa Bay Area. There are no unusual wait times. I had the same experience in a small New Jersey town also...right across from NY City.
The only place I see a shortage of staff is in the big department stores...hard to find a cashier open or a sales person. Other than that you would not know there was a pandemic here. Our county just lifted its mask mandate for public places except for government buildings and schools. Most businesses are still requiring it so far.
Stores are crowded , restaurants are crowded and few people were adhering to the mask mandate anyway.

@Erinmfs We have only been to a couple of restaurants recently. Since so many places let staff go while on lock-down, those people found other jobs, or truthfully, found they made more money on unemployment. I believe many businesses are suffering, trying to get employees back.
