It seems the level of service has gone downhill as well. I know the pandemic has put a crimp on a lot of the supply chain, and stores not wanting to pay people a decent wage.

What people need to remember is, being rude to the clerks/servers/ minimum wage employees isn't going to fix the problem. They don't set the idiotic policies, or decide to cut hours, decide not to pay better, or drop certain products etc. It's the people sitting in cozy offices making 6 figures that decide that a store can run on 50% of the employees it should have, or that people don't deserve a living wage.

I always adopt an approach of being nice to the retail workers, regardless how badly the business itself sucks, unless the employees are outwardly rude. (even then, who's to say what they are going through) but I will totally vote with my wallet.

Reply to comment by Netzapper in Ethiopian restaurant by Redneckshittery

Really good take and I'd agree.

I think Thai food, or at least Americanized Thai is popular here. Same with Americanized Chinese.

Vietnamese, Korean, and Indian hold a small niche.

I'm with you though, I like trying new food, tried Ethiopian in a restaurant everyone raved about and, I just couldn't get into it. From the bread to the meat it was just not the right flavor or texture for me.

Reply to Yet another general chicken question (chuf)- by Murky_Wolf3895

I rise, your honor, in support of this OPs filing. I too missing the General Chicken from the old location. I do enter into evidence exhibit A, my personal testimony that the current owner is related to the original owner and the GC is pretty good. I yield back the balance of my time.

Think about it, on a WORLDWIDE scale humanity was put into that fight or flight state, all those brains(the whole collective consciousness if you will). As time goes on, our brains either try to heal by returning to homeostasis or continue that state, all at varied levels and time. Some seemed to enjoy that fight or flight state and use it as excuse to be "asshats" imo

Unfortunately it seems to go both ways now. Customer service is lacking everywhere and this has been going on long before the pandemic. Stores, medical offices, salons, customer call centers, banks etc. No one smiles or greets you anymore. Hardly anyone says thank you for your business or please come back and see us. If you have a question some employees seem annoyed or disinterested. It appears many employees are unhappy with their jobs and are emotionally disconnecting. Please be nice to the kind customers. We're not all Karen's.

Relax bro. This is a pro-worker post. Look around. The reality is employers are trying to squeeze every penny they can by underhiring. I agree with everything you said about shitty employers, but that doesn't change the fact they're everywhere.
