Sitting here at a restaurant listening to a boomer worker and a customer mom joking about her 11yo daughter getting behind the bar a working for food.

How do they not think about child labor laws and letting a kid be a kid? “She could bus tables and take out the trash” “Haha yeah she’d be perfectly happy working for crepes” Sewing the seeds of undervaluing life before the kid even makes it to Highschool. C’mon people.
