Yes, many restaurants are saying they can’t get help, but have you tried to find a table on a Friday or Saturday evening.

Yes, they are busy on the weekends, but unlike years gone by, they do not have the staff to be open 7 days per week during their prime seasonal season. What you do not see now is the "townies" who worked the last 2 years of HS and 2-4 yrs of college. This was in the restaurants, motel housekeeping, etc..
Many restaurants are closed on Mon, Tue, Wed, or a combination of these days. One restaurant in Alton is closed on Sunday, and not for religious reasons. It is all about staffing. We tend to go out to eat for lunch, late lunch or an early dinner on the weekends.
JMHO, yours may vary.
