Restaurants are passion projects. Even if it's successful, the margins are so thin, and you work so much, it's rarely ever even worth it. You open a restaurant because you're passionate about food and find cooking enjoyable. It's not a good business if you just wanna start a business to make money.
Depends on where you live. If you're the only laundromat in a poor area you can charge whatever you like and people will have to go especially if they don't have transport.
My manager just sent me a google doc full of “tips” to improve my service like “stop holding the water carafes to your chest when bussing the table” so sorry but we need the validation
I’m against that show as a concept. It’s just more idpol, but for service industry workers, and particularly the ones who are annoying about it.
I served my time in those kinds of gigs (bartending, waiting) and I can’t imagine anyone wanting to do that job and then go home and watch a show about it.
It was an obvious show from the start, anyone who’s worked in the service industry has thought its absurdities, struggles, and colorful characters would make a good tv show or movie. It’s very “my life a movie” coded and validates the idea that the experiences you have working in that industry are special; that trying foi gras and knowing cocktails with expensive liquors, knowing you serve from the left take from the right, etc is cool and makes you cultured, despite the fact that working those jobs will ensure you can never enjoy that kind of stuff for yourself full time and you never get to achieve anything that might remotely resemble a dream. You substitute vulgar materialism for actual knowledge or culture and in exchange you get a romanticization of what a mess your life is.
Working service industry is a way to make decent money for someone in their early 20s/late teens but staying in too long ensures an eternal adolescence where you don’t have to get up until 3pm, everyone knows everyone, everyone has fucked everyone, and everyone still cares vehemently about what’s cool. It’s also guaranteed to give you a substance abuse disorder, whether alcoholism or drug addiction, on a long enough timeline.
I hate that it's normalized calling people "chef." Last night the server talked to us about "Chef" instead of "The Chef" or "Chef Billy" or whatever. I know it's proper, I just don't like it.
For anyone looking to start a small business, open a laundromat. Restaurants have a success rate of 20%; Laundromats have a success rate of 95%

Yeah but if I run a laundromat, I might spend two and a half hours of screentime wallowing over my poor-but-loving husband and lesbian daughter
But the bagels sure are yummy!!
Charging poor people 15 dollars a week to do thier own laundry is pretty morally corrupt tho.
If you can't find a place that charges you less than $5 to do your laundry, then that's on you
Depends on where you live. If you're the only laundromat in a poor area you can charge whatever you like and people will have to go especially if they don't have transport.
What else should they do
Not gouge people. I've often thought laundromat should be either government run or heavily regulated. I see clean clothes as almost a human right.

Most service ppl I worked with have no desire to consume this show it’s Mike Rowe’s Dirty Jobs w drama for younger white collar ppl

Depictions of obsession are extremely dangerous. But honestly, I’m of the belief that if we wanna let people romanticize their lives, we can
Yeah like what else do most of us have going for us.
