I see this everywhere. There’s a lot of gig workers and part-timers, lots of people doing random 1099 jobs, now. Unemployment rate for teenagers, who usually fill jobs in the summer, was an alltime high last year. But still, a lot of them are back in school and dayshifts at the Dairy Dip are available. The question is why would anyone take that shift to work for $12 an hour and deal with a bunch of coworkers who can’t even speak English, a bunch of fat disgruntled mask wearing customers, and the bullshit of a boomer manager who is off their rocker insane and mad that they will never be able to retire because they believed in the 401k lies, got shafted in a divorce or two, and got swindled by propaganda like timeshares or some shitcoin. You can do two rides with rideshare, or two deliveries an hour—and match that $12/hr or beat it.

Maybe more people are selling drugs or onlyfans,too, idk. The “pandemic” lockdown and fearmongering was devastating to morality. Many millions of people are still crushed, fearful, destitute, hopeless.
