Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, my sister paid for me to take my mother to eat iron pot stew, there are so many people eating today, 2 pm was supposed to be after the meal, but the seats were full.
I don't know if it's because I haven't gone out to eat for a long time, why the waiters in the restaurant have been replaced by the elderly, and I used to call the waiters my brothers and sisters when I went to eat, but now they are all elderly women, and the men can't see any of them.
I asked an aunt about her age, and she said that she was 52 years old and the youngest waitress here, and the eldest aunt was 57 years old, which really shocked my jaw! I said Auntie, you earn a lot a month, and Auntie said it's okay, counting the commission is more than 4,000, but the time is about 12 hours a day, and she only has three days off every month.
I think that's why young people don't want to do it, it's too long, and it's very hard, and there's a lot of work every day, I found that now a lot of young girls are going to be anchors, and they can easily earn more than 10,000 a month, and young men are going to run takeaways and drive online car-hailing, who will go to work as a hard and tired waiter.
So why are these old aunts willing to do it? First, when they are old, they don't have a job unit willing to ask for it, and second, there are quite a lot of old people who want to earn more money to spend on their children, and now how much pressure is on young people, and they have to take out a mortgage and car loan, and they have to raise children, and most of the old aunts are carrying the weight for their children.
I also found that there is no food delivery staff in the restaurant, all of them are replaced by intelligent robots, it is really the progress of the times, put the dishes needed on the shelf of the robot, and then enter the table number, and the robot will turn on the music and send it to the corresponding table number accurately, which not only reduces the manual work error but also saves the cost of employment, I have to admire the inventor who invented this robot, which really saves a lot of costs for the hotel.
While the times are advancing, I also deeply feel that the human touch is regressing, is this the price of social progress?
