@cyberanathema @FallenFadedLostItAll@freak.university @Nirty_Digger I would think that too but when businesses start to cut back their hours I have second thoughts. When you can't even get a pizza delivered for dinner and some fast food places are already closed, places that used to be open 24/7, idk it seems like they really just can't run the place and they're losing business. The only food options here past 10pm are in n out, del taco, and mcdonalds, all of which have an obscene amount of people going to them even at midnight because there is just nowhere else to go. I stopped by in n out at 12am last week and there was pretty much just standing room in there. Meanwhile Wendy's closes at 7pm and their lobby closes even earlier. Every grocery store around here used to be 24/7 which was super helpful but that's not the case anymore. Local and Walmart both close at 10pm and open at i think 8am.
Like I said, just from my experience and where I live it seems like there are way more jobs than there are people who want to work them, and that's very noticeable. My roommate walked into an autozone, no prior experience other than a auto shop class in high school 10 years ago, and pretty much got hired on the spot. Hell, one of my friends is trying to become a police officer in the city and there were only like 20 people in PT when apparently there are usually 200 and they only take about 20 of them. So as long as they didn't outright fail PT it didn't matter how good any of them did. That seems to be the sentiment for pretty much every job here, it doesn't matter if you do your job well it just matters that you don't fuck up bad enough.
I don't know what jobs that guy applied to, or what method of application he used, if he looked at places that were actually hiring or just shotgun blasted out to a bunch of places, but seriously... That just doesn't seem realistic to me considering my own experience. I could probably get a job at any business in my city right now if I really wanted to. Thank God I have jobs I actually really enjoy and get paid well to do. I'm super lucky to have that.
