family owned businesses won't take pay cuts, they would rather hire their children to help. Oh the crime.

This makes me angrier that angry! Tee'd off! Fit to be tied! RAGE!

True, let’s see the outcome of this down the road, hopefully a good one

THIS! RIGHT HERE!!!

I agree, but we need universal healthcare. Having healthcare dependent on your job is just stupid. How many people are staying in a crap job they hate just because they need healthcare insurance?

What’s an SSN ?

Serves them right.

It’s disgusting that they are specifically targeting 14 and 15 year olds. In Ohio, employers can pay people under the age of 16 only the Federal Minimum Wage of $7.25 per hour, which is less than Ohio’s Minimum Wage of $8.70. This is the point of BK going after the younger kids.

Mine asked me if I could still work my shift after I accidently stuck the first two fingers of my right hand in the fry vat chasing after a hashbrown that fell out of the rack. Most McDonald's suck.

Chris "Not Captain" Evans, cool :D

The new selective services 2021 edition

Yup. That's how they get you

Jrizzy Jay, you are a truly toxic and hateful person and i hope with all of my being that you don't have children.

Yeah so they can be like teachers and not give a f**k about the students. They want to get a paycheck without working. Yes unionize them to be good little economic vampires.

Answer: a capitalist society. Just look at early industrial American history. Children working in factories so the rich people could make bank.

is that another word for "drafted"? lol

and you still want your whopper so shut up.

I wonder if that's the point. Too tired to work at making the world a better place so it stays good for the Uber rich.

I actually worked at Burger King when I was a senior in High School. Our school district was different from the kids local to the Burger King location. Their school district went on strike. Mine did not. So fast forward a few weeks and our Burger King was notorious for being slow in the middle of the week making the manager release people early from their shift. He would always let the other kids go and keep me on. When I asked why I couldn't go, he referenced seniority. I said, "Do any of them have a chemistry or AP test in the morning? Because I do." When he said my education didn't matter...I quit on the spot.

Because rosie wouldn't take that crud. ( Thinking dearly of Rosie the Riveter!)

I was an assistant manager at a Casey's (petrol station chain for those outside the states) and everyone from the regular customers to new employees knew me as Momma Jess. Why is that? Because if you mess with one of my employees/coworkers momma bear's claws will come out. I will NOT stand for people treating service employees like garbage just because they can. I have one rule, come in peace or leave in pieces.

I'm not buying cheap lace again. I'll buy it from someone else who makes it themselves.

Hey, at least they didn't ask for 12 and 13 year olds! :D

Spot on!

From their parents. Okay, so mom and dad now work multiple jobs and they still don't make enough, so let's get the kids involved. Man, we are scr$#@ed

Totally not (/s).........

Why would fast food work be a must??? I agree that a customer service job is a must. But there are other ways to get the experience without resorting to this kind of abuse. You can get experience being abused by corporations, management, and the public as a server in a sit-down restaurant too. But (yes, yes, we know, the US tipping thing is terrible and makes us a horrible country), with tips, most decent restauarants pay a wage a college student could live with (maybe not independent adults, although the server job I had was very lucrative).

The what???

Not to mention , " worked at BK" will not score any points on college application, but after school activities will. Which is sad in itself.

Also it seems to be pushing that "when I was your age" button. I wanted my kids to have a better idea of what a career was than what I HAD to resort to doing. It's almost like it's punishment. But hey that's what it would be I guess.

Or maybe they planned to pay even less for the kids.

i wish I couldn't worked at burger king when I was 14. I'd have had a lot more money in highschool

It's really sad

but Karen you must understand some families need all the help they can get just to survive. this is not a new concept. Just the sensitive, everything is a social issue crowd like yourself is new.

Yes, better start them early!

Ahh, i remember 3.75$ back in late 80’s as a cashier at waldbaums(14yo)

I don't know, kids these days seem to be pretty knowledgeable about what's up.

All those " if it is so bad, just quit and find a better job" comments are now seeing the logical end to that line of thinking.

But do you have insurance and paid time off?

Or telling the first Karen's to kiss it. Cause today's kids got some sass 😅. And I love it!!

You are right

I love these kinds of posts XD

I remember when it was only kids in fast food. It is a minimal skilled job after all

It's seriously shameful

Wearing flip-flops!

Is 7$ minimum wage in the USA?

Agreed. If a 14-15 year old wants to work, they can look around for lawns to mow or kids to babysit. Fast food is soul-sucking.

Except it's not boomer parents who'd have 14 or 15 year old kids. It's people my age - I'm 42. And I'd never push my kids to put up with this sort of s**t.

Made up the idea of childhood???? LOL!!!

Abso. Lutely.

Consider this: Most of the adults that work at low paying jobs and have children are on some type of government assistance. Whatever your child earns counts against your household and will be extracted dollar for dollar from your subsidy. There is absolutely no incentive for anyone on assistance to have themselves or their children, for that matter, work.
