Could this just be a 14/15yr old who looks young for their age?
Or a short person or someone with a growth delay?
I've seen some very small statured people working in big chains here. I don't think Maccas and their ilk would be taking the risk of illegally employing children, at least not in countries like Australia.
Also, if this is a young child, is it not a bit wrong to be sharing their image around like this?..
Why would you even ask such a hypothetical, unanswerable question?
Everyone else in this thread is making conclusions based on their imaginations, so why not?
You gotta be more emphatic about it, rather than asking.
This kid obviously has a rare genetic disorder that makes them look young, but they are actually 18, you ableist fucks!
How is it unanswerable?
This is a culvers and they hire at 15y/o. They also start at $15 so i dont see what OP is crying about.
Ooo, post it again!
15 is the age I started working at a grocery store. Pretty sure that's the norm in many states, it was in Illinois at least.
Meanwhile me with no job at 19y/o
No fast food restaurants around you? I worked as a bagger for a year, then made pizzas for like 2 more years.
No fast food around me but the real reason is i'm lazy and also i'm studying
I too can copy and paste the same comment on every subthread.
If they start working young, how are they gonna learn to play guitar so they can play at the subway terminals when the socialism takes over and we all get our ubi?
