Yeah this is so much worse than 5yo kids working in coal mines a hundred years ago.
Sure its not exactly ideal, but if this is a kid whose parents own the franchise and he is legally working and being paid at the family business its better than him being left at home on the xbox.
I don’t disagree.
My grandpa brought my brothers and I to work at the family business when we were pretty young. Mostly it was stuff like sweeping and cleaning tasks, nothing really cruel or stressful or that we could screw up.
A bit different than customer service but convenience stores often have the kids helping out too.
