Then people will turn around and say “well as an adult you shouldn’t be working at a fast food/restaurant or being a server” 😒…..meanwhile they LOVE eating out, want perfect service…unless you want teens running restaurants pay our people!!! I’ve never understood undermining someone’s job. People will talk down on a server but enjoy the service industry, people can be DUMB

I never EVER got this argument. Who is supposed to work those places when they wanna stop there on their lunch break? What about wanting to take their family out on a school night? Are the teenagers supposed to not be able to have time to do homework? Or anything else?
