[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last night at a get together my neighbor's daughter is a new hostess at a popular local restaurant and said the cooks were slapping her ass with wet towels, busboys smoke dope in the parking lot, and the 20-something waiter creeps are all trying to sleep with her. She's 17.

Yes, make your kids work shit jobs. It really teaches them about "life"![/quote]
How popular is the restaurant if busboys have time to smoke dope and a hostess has time to see it. We have several underage kids working and nobody has ever tried to sleep with her. All youngsters are either in high school or in college and are around other people all the time. Maybe she needs to find another restaurant since your local one sounds like a nightmare.[/quote]

I think PP described pretty much every restaurant in the country. I'd never let my kids work in the service industry. If I wanted them around low people we wouldn't have paid a premium for a house in McLean.[/quote]

My ds works in the service industry and it is absolutely nothing like this. He has a great time and has made good friends there. Other than the manager, they're all high school and college students. Really good kids and it's like a family there. They tend to hire kids who are recommended by the other employees. Nobody wants to recommend someone who would be a bad reflection on them. The pp makes it sound like he must've found the needle in a haystack kind of job. But I doubt it. There are lots of positive non-"shit" jobs out there for those who want to find one. [/quote]
