They don't always, trust me.
That being said, I miss our mom-and-pop Italian restaurant, and the same owners of a Mexican casual place across the street from the Italian place.
I know (for a fact) they take people straight out of rehab or jail, and train them on fine dining waiting, at least at the Italian location.
Give them an upscale skill that will still hire felons (or addicts in recovery), train em up, and be happy for their future success as an individual rebuilding their life, even if it isn't at THEIR restaurant. They also understand that addicts may have lapses. My BIL works for them (now) but previously, their chef started showing up at the BIL's AA meetings before he pretty much blackballed himself from his industry (The BIL, for clarity).
He didn't violate AA rules, but he cautiously asked after the chef.... yeah, he was cooking and drinking, and the food quality suffered. They gave the chef a week off, paid, to get his shit together - frankly speaking.
And he did. He spent the first couple days TANKED, and then sobered up again.
The owners are good people, but they'll work you lol. Its a paycheck on par with the position, maybe a little better, but you're gonna work up a sweat.
I've been in an office for the past ~12 years, and am looking for work in my new state, but just yesterday I applied for a job that consists of "pick up heavy boxes, put them elsewhere." Today, not mentioning other jobs, I applied for a prep chef position. I'm not afraid of sweating, or even bleeding to an extent, but I need a paycheck lol.
This, but on a grander scale.
Just legalize it federally. Tax the shit out of it. Make money.
Our politicians are dumber than the underwear gnomes on South Park.
Their white board just looks like:
- ???
- ???
- Profit.
Well, I laid it out.
I can take pills that don't work, and break my ability to orgasm, or (as a medical patient) I can control my seizures with something that won't leave me hung over, and is much healthier, especially if handled in edible form (any sort of smoke is damaging to the lungs)
Oh wait, booze doesn't control seizures and can provoke them? Why would I want alcohol unless I'm in a very safe place? Like home (where my wife, who has 20+ years of neurology experience can handle any epileptic events properly).
