  "we can't hire enough people" is corpo-speak for "our pay is really shit but we'll try anything else first"

  Missed the biggest reason people left those jobs. They don't pay enough for bare minimum food, water, shelter, and amenities needed to live in most areas. No one has a problem working, just a problem with employers who intentionally pay them less than what is needed to live.

  I like the manager guy explaining how everything's so much better now with automation not realizing that he too will eventually be replaced. 😂

  Imagine that, low wage, high stress jobs are having worker shortages and moving to automation

  I remember as a manager in college we had a hard time finding employees because the franchise would only pay minimum wage and give part time hours.

  &quot;Dominoes in particular was having a hard time fulfilling these roles that are not super-high paying (she means minimum wage), and are pretty strenuous work (high labor, low wage, zero appreciation).&quot;<br><br>I&apos;m sorry but can we take a moment to appreciate the blunt honesty of this person saying &quot;They&apos;re a shit company&quot; in nicer words?

  Having worked as a driver for dominos, i can verify that the reason they are facing a labour shortage is simply because they do not pay enough. Lots of drivers i knew left the chain because they could make more money doing deliveroo or uber eats. That is despite the fact that our store would earn the franchise rediculous amounts of money as we were always busy. Our managers would give out free food to employees all the time and still keep well below the weekly budget.

  As a driver for Dominos, the labor shortage is because they do not pay nearly enough nor do we ever get yearly performance raises at least where I live. Tips make it almost livable SOMETIMES but tips are inconsistent and so are hours. Most drivers and inside associates have a second job on top of Dominos which leads to them leaving for other better paying and more stable work a lot of the time.

  In at least 4 Domino&apos;s restaurants I know of in the UK, no one gets a break ever. I&apos;ve worked 13 hours driving on the road and not had a single break. It seemed to be common in my area (Lancashire, particularly the Preston store), and then my friend who lived in Cornwall also did not get breaks.<br>There&apos;s a reason there&apos;s labour shortages. They are breaking the law daily, in many stores, and probably more in the country

  Wow, I just can&apos;t believe a major pizza chain tried to sell me a mass produced pizza from a factory where they pay their workers a pittance and make it look like a good thing
