    Okay news flash - there is no possible way brunch is "worse" than happy hour, or the 1 am closing shift at a bar/nightclub, or working a 24-hr fast food drive thru right after the bars close The "brunch" thing is a stupid meme kept alive largely by sexist stereotypeshttps://twitter.com/jacobinmag/status/1353371986932756480 …

    There is no intrinsic reason brunch has to be a theater of worker exploitation to serve yuppies underwhelming hangover food. The problem with brunch isn’t that it’s brunch — it’s that not everyone gets to enjoy it. https://jacobinmag.com/2021/01/in-defense-of-brunch-socialism …

        If you can't admit that part - that it's not about any objectively lived experience among workers but it's about dunking on bougie gossipy Karens who are SO ANNOYING as opposed to authentic hard-partying working men - then shut the fuck up

        "Ugh look at these people having their cute little parties in the MORNING instead of AT NIGHT like REAL WORKERS" is just stupid Cool Kid bullshit that has nothing to do with labor and class It's just rich kids in their 20s hating on uncool rich people in their 30s

        You know what would actually be a labor thing for restaurants, would be instituting a curfew Making everything close at 9 pm to try to eliminate 3rd-shift workers in the service industry So poor people don't get pressured into working jobs that kill normal family life

        This is actually a serious real thing that's been proposed and pushed forward in other countries, as an alliance of labor with social conservatives Jacobin's audience wouldn't support it in a million fucking years though so they don't even mention it

        Yeah, it's literally just any heavily packed hour. Any of them. They all fucking suck. Which type of food your restaurant serves means you might hit different ones, but, other then that? They're all more or less equally bad, because it's just the hour shit goes to hell for a bit.

        Yup. At least if you're working brunch, you might get home before midnight.

        Would rather work "gossipy buzzed Karen's" at brunch than "handsy drunk Steve's" at closing ANY DAY. For one thing, brunch people are usually happy people. For another, Karen might get snippy about dressing on the side, but at least she doesn't hold my tip hostage til I hug her.

        lol, the political economy of dive bars vs brunch joints tell 100% of the story. A stool-by-stool comparison will dispatch any doubt about this being class-coded, by design.

        Remember that scene in Justice League when Flash keeps talking about brunch as though the word "brunch" (or the concept of brunch) is inherently hilarious

        Bar run at The Kettle was a nightmare. Everyone ordered buffet, so no tips, and the sexual abuse/harassment from patrons was constant. So much mess to clean up. Like the tavern scene from Gremlins. https://youtu.be/BcWJaHZBEw0
