An additional data point: retail.
Retail workers are treated incredibly poorly, and the American customer frequently uses the interaction to establish the social class hierarchy for themselves.
This group was also ongoingly and repeatedly thrown to the wolves in COVID responses, being most exposed to the possibility of dying from the virus.
It is no surprise that the places which can't find workers are restaurants and retail outlets.
