Well I won’t eat off anything I wash. Lol .

I leave it to my wife to professionally clean them after I do if I wash them.

We have a dishwasher too , but being just the two of us we rarely have enough dishes to use it

But then you cannot sensibly complain when they decide not to come back to you when you need them again.

Leaving the restaurant in need of doing a nationwide search (sar) to find a person capable of washing dishes.

Thank God for search firms and ZipRecruiter.

I hope ziprecruiter, includes Latin America in its digital Rolodex.

But naaah, let the owner learn how to get dishes clean. It'll be good for his soul. I hope he knows how to cook.

But I think you are weakening your immune system by avoiding all germs by constantly masking up and relying only on vaccines

If you are eating, you are not avoiding all germs. Masks cannot filter out all viruses, they are WAY too small.

There are millions of low skilled workers pouring through the border. The majority of them will make a beeline to major cities. When things pick back up these new immigrants will gladly take these jobs.

Many companies are also importing workers from overseas. Even while paying the imported worker a lower salary, the salary they will earn is much better than what the would have earned in their country. And these are highly educated and highly skilled individuals.

I am sure the powerful powers that be are already in some back office lobbying to have the ability to these workers. Indian workers were imported en mass for IT roles.

I personally know people who were brought here through employment visas.

NOW is the time to secure one's dream job and a higher salary while employers are desperate.

If I were in the job market I would be applying for the most ridiculous positions that I am only marginally qualified for. lol

Increased crime is ailing our city.
Omicron keeps folks indoors.
