cal50 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Applebee's.. Multiple employees of the chain quit after seeing an email from a regional manager urging the restaurant to begin hiring employees at lower wages, under the theory that people are becoming more desperate to take a job as fuel prices increase. Record high food costs and highest inflation in over 40 years is taking it toll on everyone hard. (classy move) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayshift Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe." Steven Chu, President Obamas Energy Secretary in 12/12/08 interview. Gas was $8.00 a gallon in Europe at the time. If we plan to shift the American public from their love of ICE engines to EV's that are much cheaper to manufacture, then former Energy Secretary Chu may have been right. Gas prices are steadily on their way to the $8.oo per gallon average gas price in Europe today. Inflation is always a direct result of an over heated economy where demand is higher than supply or from printing too much money and dumping it into the economy or both. I'll let you decide which is the cause this time. Edited March 28, 2022 by Dayshift 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alleged e-mail was from an exec of American Franchise Capital, who owns some Applebees and Taco bell locations in Missouri, Kansas, Indiana, Kentucky and Arkansas. There are unconfirmed reports that the exec has since been let go for cause by AFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
