Reminds me of the time I pulled up to a Del Taco, and it took so long for someone to take my order that I thought the intercom might be broken and I was about to pull forward. I don't remember how long I waited in line, but it was foreeeever. When I finally got to the window, I discovered why: There was one guy working in the whole restaurant. ONE. He'd take an order, then leave and go to the back to make the food himself, leaving no one to take orders or payments at either the drive-through window or the inside counter.

I felt so bad for him, his day must have been awful.

Quiet quitting is just doing your job, this sounds more like a complete collapse of a system. I would think they would not be crying and talking about chaos if they planed it.

I think we will see more of this sort of thing though, as more and more places seem to almost be attracted to bad ideas like a moth to a lamp. Even years ago in my old line of work I watched companies seem to almost try and sabotage themselfs. Used to calling it "management by excel sheet". Saw things outsourced to 3rd parties that full on told them they had no way to do the thing, but that since it was cheaper it was "worth it".
