Just about everyone I know is just one or two people away from making everything work. Some places are doing fine front of house (I've got a 3.5 day work week right now and it's fucking WILD) but back of house is just full of dudes doing it truly for the love of the game right now.


The real wild side of it is distribution. When you don't know whether the kitchen is getting their weekly allotment of shift beers (High Life) for the week when it's produced just one state over, you know shipping is in a wild spot. My entire year has been one long game of ordering a product, being told it's in, then not seeing it come in and reps scrambling to explain why that was.


And you can't even hold it against them because...damn, man, the product just isn't there and everyone else in my position is talking about it too.
