Want to Buy a Birthday Cake?

Little Miss came back tonight because our son has a busy work week; she was happy to see that our daughter and her puppy were here for a few days too. She came over after dinner and played with play-doh after the puppy tired of playing with her. Later we played a game of Cootie, and she beat me; she loves playing many different games.

Our daughter, Lori, took us to dinner tonight; Ron and his wife joined us. We arrived at Red Robin at 4:45 and were told they weren't opening until 5 PM due to staffing shortages. Service was slow with a couple of mistakes with our order, even though we were the first to be seated and ordered immediately. We didn't mind since we were enjoying our time together. I wonder when businesses will be able to find enough workers again. 

Are other countries struggling to get enough service workers so that businesses are shortening their hours?
