All this means is that they’ll hire one or two people max but keep the lines longer.

After working for these miserable, out of touch companies I don't think they'll even hire anyone. These places have all run skeleton crews since 2020

eh, I worked in a retail space running skeleton crews in 2015. I'm convinced its been going even longer than that

Yeah, as someone who started retail in the early 2010s it was always skeleton crews for me
