[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 736722, member: 1550"] The U.S. should do MANY things that other countries do, but we are who we are...lagging behind in many areas. People like Lil and I help servers make it. Soon jobs like cashiers, servers and maybe even cooks wont exist much. We may miss them. Cashiers are already vanishing. Sit down restaurants with personal service are going the way of department stores as millenials dont like them unless they are unique and have quality food. Otherwise they prefer ordering online and pick ups. Restaurants like Applebees and the Cheesecake Factory and Chilis are struggling and many restaurants are closing. I learned this when I worked at Applebees. Restaurants want to draw in millenials as they are a huge population and they are not like we were. Chain restaurants are not doing well. Look it up. I did. Applebees is trying to update. I know many have shut down. The restaurant industry is not easy for management or employees. It attracts people of all ages who do not have high educations and most restaurant managers are generous about giving people who messed up a second chance, even if they were in jail. But turnover is huge. Training is a biotch. I had to train. They rush people before they learn due not liking to pay for training (expensive). They get a lot of undertrained employees. I can understand the appeal of less employees and machines instead of cashiers. I really can. And servers will be competing with pick up orders soon. The customers can be trying as well. There is the not so odd person who brings in a kid with no shoes on....icky....and one lady let the barefooted kid dance on the table by the adults food. She held the childs hands while the little girl danced on the table next to the food. Couldnt have helped anyones appetite! That was both horrifying and amusing to see. And the managers were so afraid to offend the customers that they didnt tell her to get the two year old off the table. Ick. Double ick! Most others who brought in barefooted kids didnt do that but it is still unhealthy to bring in kids without socks or shoes. So this would be another pet peeve of mine.If dining with a child, please put something clean on their feet and dont let them dance on the table. Soon nobody will have a tipping choice. The chain restsurants are folding and high end restaurants include your tip in the cost, like it or not. Other options: fast food, eat at home. [/QUOTE]
