There are pills you take and drink a lot of water and you stop smoking for a week. The things you learn as a HS teacher that you never really needed to know. LOL.

There’s another factor that I read about as well and that’s how many of those server jobs were second jobs to a lot of people. A lot of the teachers used to have server jobs as their weekend supplemental income job. Many found other jobs when the pandemic hit, or cut back expenses, plus the stimulus payments have allowed people to afford to live without needing a second job. There’s a lot of interesting stuff at play, like a big reset happening.
