Kid in old age, probably: "Yeah, I was working in the Salt Mines at 11. Then they petered out, so I got me a job at the Pepper Mill. By the time I retired, I was first shift at the Olive Garden, doling out shredded cheese like a fiend. Yessir! Them was the days!"
When I was that age I was mowing lawns to pay for my video arcade habit. This is probably safer
This is a culvers and they hire at 15y/o. They also start at $15 so i dont see what OP is crying about.
I started working at McDonald's at age 13. Was the worst job I ever had and that remains true to this day even in my 30s.
This is Culver’s. They’re a burger fast food joint located throughout the Midwest and have things called “Scoopy Night” where a percentage of the proceeds go toward a specific cause. Schools, dance groups, etc can partake and the kids who attend that school/dance group/etc help take orders and deliver food to tables. Not quite as dystopian as OP has made it seem.
Honestly... the idea that they do this work, and the money goes to a school instead of them, makes it even worse to me?
Lol Republicans with their shenanigans. All red states have made child labour legal and kids aged 16 can work at a bar. #MAGA
I would just walk out.
