Comment on Saw this and thought it was fake until I googled. It's real.

I am aware of some states legalizing child labor, but this could as well be nothing more than fun activity to discover how things work for kids, especially if they enjoy going there to eat, they may be curious about what happens behind the counter.

You’re absolutely right, of course, they’d be insane to do this during opening hours for their restaurants. I overreacted.
My only defense is Chick-Fil-A’s atrocious record with regard to worker’s rights, their already hiring actual children due to multiple states legalizing child labour, my outrage at the children maimed or killed on the job at other companies, the image describing some of the basic duties of an employee, my extreme fatigue from being sick for five days and not sleeping at all last night, and the fact that it also seems like a way to glow up the experience to “get them early” so at least some of them will provide cheap exploitable labour in let’s call it 3-7 years.

If they are already employing children then it definitely makes it creepier.

No “if” about it: mashed.com/…/chick-fil-a-history-child-labor-viol…
All these locations were franchised, but the corporation didn’t sever ties or implement internal review processes. They didn’t even denounce violating child labour laws or endangering children. They’re awful.
