so you would think with the entertainment district opening back up that the servers would flock back to those jobs.
But so many of the wannabe stars (servertainers) left town and moved back home and they haven’t a moved back. Or they got other jobs.
Drug testing? That’s not a barrier in the least. If only my students worked as hard to pass my tests a they do to pass their drug tests, lol.
I think pay is the biggest reason for the service shortage. Not unemployment checks or drug tests or anything else. We raise our kids to be capitalists so we shouldn’t be surprised when why they try to seek out the maximum pay possible.
I don’t see how you fake a drug test. Maybe I’m just naive. Or maybe kids brag about something they’re not guilty of. I was randomly selected once and was escorted to the bathroom in the on-site clinic to whiz in a cup.
Pay is half the equation. My kids learned the best job is a comfortable ratio of effort to compensation. From watching me.
