Profit. They need to recoup Covid losses with higher prices and smaller staff.

  What you're saying is: 1. Pretend like you're hiring staff 2. ??? 3. Profit What is happening in step 2 that is leading to step 3? And more importantly, why does step 2 need step 1?

    “higher prices and smaller staff“

      Again, why do they need to pretend to hire people? They can just keep the smaller staff.

        I didn't say it was some evil strategy but those signs aren't just for potential candidates, they know customers see them too. I think the appearance that the service industry is working harder at hiring than they are is an effort to justify higher prices to customers. Remember demand has kept up despite higher prices and in many cases reduction to quality of service. Doing the same thing is the natural state for a business operator, even if they want to hire they may not have time to interview. There is no benefit to taking signs down in that case when every other restaurant has them up.
