I've wrote about this job here before, I left to become a tattooer and am the youngest person out of anyone who worked at the restaurant and now make more than everyone who works there currently becuase of my choice to peave.
I was finished tattooing one day and went to hang out at my husbands work (I sit in the car till he gets off as we only have 1 vehicle). My husbands boss cane to talk to me like he does sometimes and asked me if I wanted to come work expo becuase I just sit in the car and (might as well make money while I'm there).
I explained that I have my current job for a reason, becuase I get to make my own hours, make a good profit, and when I'm done I can relax. He said “yea but your just sitting here. I need an expo and no ones coming to the interviews becuase they want to sit at home and collect government money and be lazy” I then asked if he was offering good enough pay, and he said “I'm hiring expo at 11 an hour + tips! That's like an extra $30 a night”. I explained to him that that wasn't worth it to me or a lot of people, as when my machine is on i make $100 an hour + tip.
He then goes on to say “why cant parents just make their kids work” and walked away.
Sorry but i am a STRONG believer that kids shouldnt have to have jobs, and need to have that important time in the lives to find out who they are and have hobbies. I was given the time as a kid and encouraged to explore art and music, my parents didnt want me working, and now I make more than everyone in that restaurant who's been in the food industry since they were in highschool.
And this guy seems to forget that everyone who he says “doesnt want to work” left his restaurant for better jobs with better pay
It sounds to me like he just wants kids to work becuase they wont complain about being under paid.
