restaurant workers so much that the owner has to fire them? The restaurant closes because the owner can't find any English-speaking workers who will accept his crap wagest and the Trumpsters have to find somewhere else to eat. Morons abound.

And a pox on the restaurant owner for not paying a decent wage.

(7,888 posts)To be used seldom and with great forethought as boomerangs can be deadly. I wished a "pox" on my brother's wife for cheating with her mentor professor. My bother paid for her education by working overtime, sacrificing his time with his children. She died of a stroke at the age of 55. His son was struck by a train while walking down the tracks inebriated.
In all honesty, my brother is a controlling, misogynist, rumpublican who has no respect for himself.

Not one single time

(146,288 posts)Even in the front of the house, the pressure is always on. So, it's not work that most people will enjoy or even be willing to do. But, everyone likes to go out for a meal from time to time, and they expect to be served. All too often, they treat those who serve them, well, like servants.
There's a lot of people who work the front, though, who look like the customers. It's a decent job and tips can, sometimes, be good. But when it's time to make the food, clear away the tables or do the constant cleanup that a restaurant requires, the language spoken by the workers often isn't English. Often, even the owner of the restaurant can't speak the language of the employees.
It's a shitty system. Most people sitting and waiting for their meal aren't aware of what's happening in the back of the house. They don't want to know, either. But, they don't like hearing Spanish or Chinese up in the front of the house. So, there's a dilemma, and a real class system working in most restaurants. The front of the house is white. The rest of it is handled by people of color, and sometimes people without papers.
The Trumpsters complain and whine about immigration, but they still expect the food to come out and the dirty dishes to be taken away. Imagine their surprise when there are no more workers in the back of the house.
