Are you saying I implied I'm an expert on big cities? If so, I'd like to see my quote on that.

somehow when Tempo connected the dots to customers not being in the loop because they are working from home, so restaurants are doing poorly, your answer was "waitresses don't work from home" - so apparently your expert opinion is that the people working in the loop are waitresses.

Then they quit.

I think you are wrong on the last part. The articles seem to bear out the frustrations of getting people back into the office.

I don't think your average person is comfortable enough to "just quit" because they don't feel like commuting to work. That assumes they have easy access to another job just as good.. Not to mention healthcare, etc. These are good white collar jobs we're talking about here. Not shelf stocking at the Dollar General.

You sure about all this sitting from home or in your car?

And you were talking out your ass and got busted....

Tempo, I love how you missed "The Great Resignation" and the volatility in the job market sitting in Itasca or wherever you cocoon away from others outside your demographics.

Yeah, the last time I went to a restaurant, half the waitresses were working from home.

I can tell you they have been working from home since October 2021 at my Chinese place on Madison west of Wells or whenever it was that it closed.

May have been 2020. Thanks Lightfoot and Foxx! Assholes.

Lol. Hilarious how PAMan thinks the Loop suffering a downturn after Covid is entirely on two people.

[The great resignation was often portrayed as a phenomenon of people quitting work altogether, but the data tells a different story. Most of them quit to take other, typically better-paying jobs — or, like Ms. Moya, to start businesses. And while turnover increased in virtually all industries, it was concentrated in low-wage services, where workers have generally had little leverage.]

I don’t think most jobs in the Loop were “low wage services.”

Did PAMan just slam me for living in the burbs? FTR wasn’t my choice to come here. I was strong-armed into it .

I’d be willing to bet PAMan would never hurl this jab at Jobu; who lives in a town where blacks and Hispanics make up a combined less than 1% of the population.

Been more or less saying that for months.

He's not the one pontificating from his safe suburban home about what is happening in a place he doesn't go to.

Looks like the two limo libs sharing some salty tears.
