In pretty much every state you can legally work limited hours at 14. Considering this is a Culver's, I highly doubt they illegally hired this kid.

There's nothing wrong with a part time job at a place like this at 14. I'd argue it's better than having no work experience at all as a minor.

I work in the Media Center of a High School. Some 9th and even a few 10th graders definitely look like they still belong in middle school, some kids mature late. I’d totally believe that there’s a possibility this person is actually at least 14.

I worked as a waiter at a retirement home at 14, and definitely looked younger at the time, so I think there's a good chance this is the case.
