PALO ALTO, Calif.—It was not so long ago that the aroma of Moroccan spiced prawns wafted out to a downtown street here from the open-air patio called Zibibbo. Today that patio is behind locked doors, obscured by frosted grass. The formerly crowded bar has been converted into a sparsely populated startup space of a dozen engineers, their bikes and whiteboards. All told, more than 70,000 square feet of Palo Alto retail and restaurant space were lost to office space from 2008 to 2015, as the tech bubble drove demand for commercial space downtown.
It is a story playing out across Silicon Valley, where restaurateurs say that staying afloat is a daily battle with rising rents, high local fees and acute labor shortages. And tech behemoths like Apple and Googleare hiring away their best line cooks and dishwashers with wages, benefits and perks that restaurant owners simply cannot match.
We’re competing more for staff than we are for guests at this point, said Craig Stoll, a James Beard Award-winning chef and co-owner with his wife, Annie Stoll, of Delfina. They have not been able to fully staff their Silicon Valley locations since they opened about two years ago. They used to require their line cooks to have particular experience. Now we’ re just selling ourselves on Craigslist, posting pictures good-looking waitresses to recruit staff, Stoll said. In the last year, the Stolls have lost several of their best servers to Twitter in San Francisco. To compete, the couple have been increasing pay and perks as much as possible, but they say they still often have to blank off entire sections of their Silicon Valley restaurants simply because there is not enough staff to service them. Recently, they have resorted to hiring their daughter and her friends to step in. We’re breeding our own workforce at this point, Stoll joked.
Last year, Brigette Lau and Chamath Palihapitiya opened Bird Dog, a stylish restaurant down town. But even with Silicon Valley’s backing and their own substantial means, Lau said operating a restaurant in Palo Alto was not for the faint of heart. I’m supportive of the startup community, but not at the expense of the community, she said.
Brigette Lau’ s attitudes toward the phenomenon that tech has disrupted local restaurant industry in Silicon Valley is______.
选项
A、uncertain
B、supporting
C、resigned
D、disapproving
答案
D
解析
态度题。根据题干关键词定位到文章最后一段。通过布里盖特-刘所说的话“在帕洛阿尔托经营餐厅可不适合心脏不好的人。我本人支持创业群体,不过这不应该以牺牲当地的民众与企业作为代价”可推断出,其对科技公司颠覆了硅谷的餐饮业这种现象持否定态度,故D项“不赞成的”为正确答案。A项“不确定”、B项“支持的”和C项“顺从的”均与题意不符,故本题选D。
