Bars as in PUBS are places where people go to consume Alcohol - in effect doing damage to their bodies. One does not go to the pub for the good of one's health.

Waitresses should perhaps find a better line of work. This is the same bullshit we hear from coal miners who expect compensation for the terrible state of their lungs - tough shit. Shitty job carry with it a load of shit, and you're going to have to learn that at the end of it you're going to end up stinking of shit.

To these people living from paycheck to paycheck, missing one or two weeks can make them homeless. Counter to the way you are trying to paint them, they are not saying "we don't want to look for work", they are saying "we should have been given the warning we deserve."

You really need to read the news articles on the web or at least watch some television so you see what is really happening.
Again, I don't quite see your point.

They have till friday to start looking for work, rather than try to act like have-a-go revolutionaries. They are therefore wasting their time. If these people have faith in the goodness of humanity, I'm sure they can find friends and family that will put them up if they do become "homeless".

If they can't then they don't deserve any better.
