I really think people are underestimating this.
In the middle of this fiasco, who were going to be the people coming out and interacting with the service economy most?
That's right--the shittiest, most selfish, most ignorant dipshits. I have all manner of stories from restaurants that never had issues suddenly having to call the police regularly after the full lockdowns ended.
So, your already shitty service job just got its "shitty knob" turned up way past 11 because the shitty people are going out and the nice people are staying at home.
Is it any wonder the "service economy" workers just decided to bow out?
