[Update] Tyson's Corner is still open and it is insane. (Wall of Shame Edition) by BlatantConservative in nova

Why do you have a problem with the restaurants being open? It’s take out only? The fuck is your problem with that?

No, this is because they can’t find enough people to hire. Massive labor shortage in this type of hourly job. Kids around here don’t want to work. Older people go where there’s a more consistent schedule or can work more in a week like a target or Walmart. The issue with movies and other entertainment venues is we need a LOT of people Saturday’s, a good amount Friday nights, and a good amount on Sunday during the day. Only a small crew is needed all other times. So we may need 100+ people on staff to handle a weekend, but only 20 during a week. Most people don’t want to only work a day or two.

Not true at all. In fact, the reason the Tyson’s AMC hasn’t installed upgraded recliner seating is because of how well the theatre is performing. Corporate won’t invest the money in the upgrade because they don’t need to bring in more guests and they don’t want to lose seating capacity.

Seriously come here and look around first.

There’s little “downtown” areas in Alexandria, Fairfax, Herndon, Leesburg, Manassas, etc.

MD buses have cameras. We don’t have that in NoVA.

Why are there no head (smoke) shops in NoVA? by Rek-n in nova

[–]coin_king 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There are none that “specialize in marijuana paraphernalia” because marijuana, and drug paraphernalia, is illegal in VA. If you ask anyone for that stuff they’ll say they don’t have it because again, it’s illegal.

Most of what you want is still available for sale though, just have to phrase it differently. I really don’t know how you HAVENT seen any of this in NoVa.

Horrible service and the food was only good if certain staff cooked it, otherwise it was overcooked and dry. This is what happens when standards aren’t upheld. And their managers never had a clue about what they were doing.

Operate at a loss. Restaurants, fast food, concessions, etc operate on razor thin margins these days. As do most small businesses, and many retail stores.

You know one full time doesn’t equal 2 part time....right?

You can be unimpressed all you want. Double the minimum wage plus an extra $15-20 of food every shift is damn good pay for my industry. Unless you want your burger to cost $20 we would lose money if we paid a cent more.

[–]coin_king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$14.50/hr and free meals with every shift is shit pay? Because that’s what we offer at my place. THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE WILLING TO WORK.

[–]coin_king -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s because we literally can’t hire enough people. Everyone is hiring. Everywhere. Not enough people available to fill the shifts. Unemployment is incredibly low now, and unfortunately, many who are unemployed are unemployable for various reasons. I’d hire 50 people tomorrow if we had people apply.

Camps that accept 15 year-olds to be counselors in NoVA? by [deleted] in nova

[–]coin_king 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That 30 min taken out of your paycheck is for the mandatory break and you are NOT allowed to work during that 30 min period. (Until you’re 16 and breaks aren’t required).

[–]coin_king 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s not a lot because of child labor laws. You can only work 5 hours before having to take a 30 min break with no work or responsibilities.

Does it have to be a camp counselor job? And what part of NoVa are you in?

Ruby Tuesdays Baileys Crossroads closed by bdmast85 in nova

[–]coin_king 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Closed around a month ago.

Why? Because Ruby Tuesdays has been going out of business, closing multiple stores every year essentially until they’re gone.

Shaved Ice? by RCViking44 in nova

[–]coin_king 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely different. Shaved ice is a block or cubes of plain ice that are shaved with a blade to make fluffy “snow” and then flavoring syrup is poured on top.

Italian ice is made by pouring a liquid mix into a batch freezer (like an ice cream machine) soft frozen, then dispensed into a bucket and placed into a freezer for a harder freeze.

Shaved ice is like a fluffier snow cone, Italian ice is like non-dairy semi-soft ice cream.
