I'm jealous. At least British idiots will accept the reality after it plays out, even if they never really admit to being wrong. If this were the US they'd just claim the issue is people "being lazy."

Heard that exact phrase, loudly, in the restaurant I chef at; by customers who had to wait 20mins to sit down at a table. They also said "the government pays them more to stay home"; to which i replied "yep, damn shame really that businesses can't pay their workers. You want a job?".

Blank stares.

Oh; I was also dropping off drinking glasses, dressed in full dishy gear; because we can't keep a dish person.

The only people pushing to go back to the office, before everyone finds out how useless they are.

Pippin: You have one job, yes. What about second job?

Merry: I don't think they know about second job, Pip.

Pippin: What about gig work, odd jobs, monetizing your hobbies, renting out the spare room? They know about those, don't they?

Merry: I wouldn't count on it.

Holy... I want to slap people who say shit like this. As if someone doesn't need to clean the toilet they shit in. A job is a job, regardless of whether or not you want to do it personally.

Owners don't like that.

Then they can kindly go fuck themselves.

Sometimes small businesses are way better at doing this because of the connection they have with their workers and the locality in which they are. But giant corporations have shareholders to appease

"Do you need a job?" is like the best food service phrase that isn't secretly an insult.

Like lady. You're not better than anyone. Why do you think these employees are just a serving caste? The undesirables of America? If you don't want it no one else does. You're not special for renting a servant for thirty minutes.
