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.

I find it interesting that older people call this generation soft because they won't just work these jobs for no pay, report hazing and generally shitty treatment, and decided to stand up for themselves. Past generations just let people walk all all over them without standing up for themselves and think that's what toughness is.
