I said well, “they don’t want to work for the pay you’re offering.”
The scoff was audible.

Back in the brief post-Covid window when labor actually had equal power to business, I was on vacation and we tried to order takeout from a restaurant and the manager answered the phone and said they couldn’t do takeout because they were so understaffed cause he couldn’t get enough workers and he was very sorry. And I said That it was fine and he can run his business however he wants and that’s OK. And he started arguing that it wasn’t about how he ran his business it was that no one wanted to work. And I said no you make choices about your staff and really I’m not upset. We’ll just get food from somewhere else. And it was so important for him That I understand that the problem wasn’t supply and demand, but was, in fact, some vague undefined laziness of people who did not want to be underpaid by him.
