In the USA restaurant workers are paid sub minimum wages and have to work long hours or go on food stamps and other government aid to make ends meet. In other parts of the world they are paid a living wage.
Thank the people who serve you. Thank them for the food or service, and for working. Tip when possible.
I’ve worked many low-paying jobs over the years, and I’ve learned that honest labor, however menial, is good for my self-respect and mental health. The times when I’ve been too ill to work, either inside or outside the home, were difficult for me.

Maybe if you required masks and distancing, people would feel safe working at your restaurant?

More restaurants opening than are closing here and we have had the best response to the pandemic of nearly every major metro area.

Ouch! Looks like they’re going to have to raise wages. It’s known as the free market principle. (And, of course, raise prices.)

There once was a time in the USA when you could work 40 hours a week, your spouse didn’t have to work and you retired at 65 with a pension.
Today 40 hours a week is barely enough to cover rent and food with two incomes and you will likely never retire. That’s reality.
The number of billionaires pushing for everyone to get back to work early proves only one thing and one thing only.
They don’t make your money. You do.
