 I don't get how anyone could think that's funny, that dude is clearly hosed up in some way. I'd probably be asking for a deep cleaning of the kitchen by a cleaning company to sanitize everything - they'll take it a lot more seriously if they realize that his "joke" is going to cost them a few thousand dollars (or more)

So yeah, calling the police is not an unheard of step for anyone lovely enough to do this.

Sandwich Anarchist posted:Had a repair guy come in today to fix one of the walk ins that was leaking. He told the people that I still had there for finishing the break down that he had the virus and wasn't telling his boss, that he went on a cruise and caught it, described symptoms, was taking medication etc. Was very serious and had a whole elaborate story. Touched all of our food, all kinds of equipment, had interacted with my entire staff. Maybe look into filing a police report? It's pretty clear he caused immense panic and fear to multiple people enough that they felt the need to leave the premises while there in a official job capacity. There are tons of people pulling poo poo like this and laughing their rear end off and it's not going to stop until they realize they are flirting with years plural in prison. All the MAGA people and religious right "buy our $20 water to cure this" are proudly and defiantly mocking the people who say its serious and going out of their way to defy any health orders coming from authority.

I hate cops and frequently say "snitches get stitches" without irony, and even I think you should file a police report and potentially bring a hammer that nobody deserves (the American justice system) down on that idiot's head.

I will say this: the biggest difference between this recession and the ones we saw post-9/11 and in 08/09 is that people remember how quickly everything came crashing down and how long it took to unfuck it. My company is multi-unit and creditors are deferring loans, landlords are deferring rent, and the franchisor has deferred a full period's worth of royalties.

I hope it will change when residential landlords realize that they're going to have massive vacancy rates once they kick out everyone who can't make a rent payment because they work in an office building. This "stimulus" package is better than nothing, but it's not a long term solution.

Coasterphreak posted:That is a valid point, and absolutely awful. I think this is one of the biggest disconnects WRT to money in America. It comes back to every news story you've ever seen about how 60% of America (or whatever percentage) doesn't have the funds to cover a $500 emergency. This is the wake up call to that - and it's something I doubt most landlords have ever really thought about. Becoming a landlord is often sold to investors as a way to make returns while being mostly insulated from the stock market - and believe me when I say every major (and minor) city in the US has multiple people whose sole income is from being a residential landlord. I'd be willing to bet that a good chunk of them are sighing in relief at this $1200 per person package thinking "Thank god, at least my tenants can afford one more month with me." I've known exactly 5 landlords that were also decent people - and plenty more who were trying to make the most money at the lowest cost. (also a specific gently caress You goes out to Greystar on this one, thanks for trying to raise my rent by 40% over the course of 3 years awhile back)

The number of "Oh won't somebody PLEASE think of the poor landlords who still have to pay their mortgages??" posts I see on Nextdoor is too drat high. gently caress landlords. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCiYmCVikjo Rent seeking is immoral behavior. There's no such thing as a nice landlord unless you're paying zero dollars. There's been a push here to buy gift cards from restaurants, to help them stay afloat. What's y'alls opinion on that vs. direct helping the laid off workers? droll fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Mar 26, 2020 |

[quote="droll" post=""503622850"]There's no such thing as a nice landlord unless you're paying zero dollars. [/quote] This is generally true, but there are some exceptions I think. For instance, my landlord moved out of state for family reasons and is renting us her condo, and our rent pays the mortgage and taxes at cost. She isn't making money off us at all.

Ishamael posted:I don't understand this, can you explain? Do you mean during this emergency situation, or ever? The local food social media scene in my city are posting about buying restaurant gift cards from the restaurants despite not being able to use them, as like a temporary small loan or something to keep the restaurant afloat. My thinking is this goes into the pockets of the Owner and not the workers, and you may not have a restaurant to use the gift card at in 6 months anyway. edit: wait are you asking about the gift cards or rent seeking? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking "rent-seeking means seeking to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth. Rent-seeking results in reduced economic efficiency through misallocation of resources, reduced wealth-creation, lost government revenue, heightened income inequality,[1] and potential national decline."

Eh, my current and previous landlords were both pretty great. Pricing was well below market rates for what I got, repairs were always done quickly and professionally (including at least 1 extraordinarily expensive repair at each place). There are good landlords but they are a diamond in the rough. Edit: Someone beat me to the rent seeking explanation while I left the window open.

Thank you all for the additional info, now back to restaurants! Hey, renting (whether commercial or residential) is an issue that literally everyone in this thread has or has had to deal with. Considering the number of folks here who are furloughed or out of work, it seems like a reasonable discussion to have at the moment.

This headline in our local news obviously jumped right out at me, but it's a nation-wide company and thought it might help people out: "Amid restaurant closures, Roanoke kitchen is still open — and hiring" https://www.roanoke.com/business/am...98ddff9a3f.html I actually used to work with the dude Bradley that they interview. I could stand being a dish/prep bitch for $12/hr and benefits, holy poo poo. Here's a direct link to their job app portion of their site: http://www.fsp98.com/job-postings I'm not sure exactly what cities they're in ('cause their site kinda sucks). But might be worth looking into? Just lookin' out for my peeps!

This place also does prepared meals for non-hospitals, too, though; you don't actually work at the hospital, but some big-rear end off-site industrial kitchen. Plus their facility is way closer than the hospital to me, I can take a bus.
