Let him see how a kitchen works to determine if he can handle the environment.  I suspect most kids whose parents post on DCUM could not cut it in a restaurant kitchen

Wow. That's kind of presumptive. And generalistic. [/quote]

NP. Also accurate.

Nobody who needs orders filled wants the millstone of a precious teenager. Someone who puts their head down and does good work, starting from the bottom like everyone else? Sure.

Who said anything about "swanning" in? It's about working for free to get experience. I think you're treating this like mommy is trying to get her precious child a job at a law firm and you're truly misreading the intent. Also, kitchens are short-staffed. They just might welcome the help. Ambition and initiative is a good thing, not a snob thing.[/quote]
