I’m not into that whole noise. I’ll either get who and leave and never come back or just never come back.

If you want to know what truly tipped the scales into these depressing times for workers, look no further than the millions and millions of illegal foreign workers parasitizing our cities future.

NYC can handle 9/11, it can handle pandemics, we can weather recessions and depressions, but this city is never going to survive the illegal alien invasion. We are finished. The illegals have poisoned NYC.
The "illegals have poisoned NYC"? You are delusional. No it's the people within that are poisoning NYC. Most of the illegals are coming here looking for work and a better opportunity for their families. They are taking the jobs you and most Americans wouldn't.

To me it is the strangest argument to defend illegal workers in any way shape or form. People who defend illegal aliens being here are either an illegal alien themselves, connected to illegal aliens by close family ties, they are from affluent backgrounds that provides protection from economic damage, or they are just so naive, gullible, brainwashed, or even having a self hating tendencies.

It is so saddening to witness this situation. The illegal aliens are being used as pawns in an economic and social war to ruin middle class Americans.

These are some of their traitorous talking points:

“They do work Americans won’t do”
“Americans population is dying off”
“You have no proof any of them are illegal aliens”

These are all lies. They are toxic lies. It is blatant Anti American rhetoric and trickery.

The people managing restaurants, waitressing, operating the barista, and serving food are full Americans, though. There is a current trend called “quiet quitting” and it’s not something undocumented people are doing. Your anger is misdirected.

i blame the government and their stupid policies.

Govt force higher minimum wage and more benefits. There is excessive taxes pushed to employers. Next up is congestion pricing. This will make delivery of items even more expensive. As a result, they can hire less employees. There is less incentive for employees to work hard if its all given.

Some low wage work was never meant to support a family. I worked in fast food as a teenager. It was hard work and I had great work ethic. I worked even harder in school. That was enough incentive to do better.

I like the service that I've been getting lately.

The slow response times help me build patience and tolerance.

Wrong orders add a sense of spontaneity and excitement and wonder to my dining adventures.

Really makes to price tag on the NYC lifestyle and dining experience completely worth it!

That's exactly where the blame should go.
