> Have you actually gone to one of these locations, physically, and applied?

Are there any places these days that are sitting around with stacks of paper job applications waiting for someone to walk in and ask for one? I figured by now just about everyone would ask you to apply online and showing up in person would just get you strange looks like "how has this person never heard of the internet?"

I don’t know about the method of application, but the restaurant industry, in particular, has almost always operated on hiring bodies that actually walk in the door versus applications from someone online. Especially true for entry-level stuff in my experience (10 years in the service industry).
No, service and retail still like when people show in person
