I just saw my 2 Perkins waitresses.

They have a temporary reopen date of 4-7.

They have filed for unemployment.

They are selling their blood for plasma

This is just so bad for so many people.

Her retirement is a 401K.

It's a mess for people this age. You don't have time to rebuild your accts.

Sell their blood for plasma to get money to rake a cruise every year.
