Here's the problem with "it's supposed to be a low wage job for kids", the vast majority of operating hours for fast food are either when kids are at school, or when they're sleeping / studying.

Fast food jobs were actual living wage jobs before chucklefucks tried to manipulate society into thinking it's only a shit wage, kids-only job.

Like, when was the last time you actually saw a kid working at McDonald's? Cause usually it's some college age guy or some older lady.
