I've noticed a mood change from people in the last little while, the stupid, petty stuff doesn't seem as important now.
And I had a normie actually tell me, this afternoon, on how disgusted they are with the open border...they said to me 'we're next if we don't do something now.' This is coming from a 'proud' biden voter.
I just hope it doesn't take an attack here on American soil to wake people up. Because we definitely have enemy pouring into this country right now. It's an invasion. The only difference is? We're [government] not stopping them. The FB timeline is quiet on my end...and typically people are posting left and right about all kinds of stuff. It's quiet....almost as if people are holding their breath or waiting for something.
I don't know, maybe it's just me..... Has anyone else noticed a change?
I was in the US two weeks ago for first time in about four years. I found service in restaurants noticeably different. The staff seemed on edge, unsmiling, brought my stuff and spieled out the compulsory "how is everything" but that's where it stopped. Thought I just got unlucky in first one but several others were same.
Oh the service industry definitely took a hit. "Back in my day" it was all about quality, service, and cleanliness. That's all out the window. They don't give AF if your order is correct or not. They don't give AF if they greet you or not. They're like ... robots? There's just something missing there. Like they're empty shells. Maybe life is just beating them down super hard. Maybe they are all basement-dwellers in their parents' homes because it's literally impossible to leave the nest affordably. Their outlook on life must be bleak. If I was young and looking into the future of where the world is heading, I would be sullen all the time.
I get really pissed every time I get a wrong order, which sadly I'd estimate is at least 80% of the time (one restaurant in particular gets my order wrong 100% of the time, it's uncanny). And this is in a smallish-town. Maybe larger towns don't have this problem because there are more workers waiting to fill the empty slot of a fired employee.
Anyway, long rant. TLDR: you are correct.
The thing I've noticed in restaurants is the lack of cleanliness. Furthermore, the prices are higher and the food tastes nothing more than being taken off those Sysco trucks and heated up in the microwave.
This. Every take out order has been wrong for the past year. Employees don't give a crap
Nope- Seattle here- it's a shit show at average Restaurants, better at higher end ones- but people are not skilled in eye contact or giving a shit about anything-
