They would then go ahead and blow it all during the week of frivolous shit or just go out drinking and partying until they’d reset the following weekend. It was pretty much 75% of them that had that attitude. Especially people who lived downtown and lived “service industry life”
My friends roommate is a bartender/server and she's still going out till 3AM on the weekends. Likely for social gatherings. I'm certainly not saying everyone in that industry is like that but your point about making decisions that are near sighted is prevalent. Many of whom also lives downtown. It makes me wonder what's going to happen when things finally settle down and the hospitality industry recovers at a snail's pace. Their tips will certainly not continue to support their lifestyle pre-covid.
