[quote=Anonymous]I worked at McDonalds as a teen in the late 90s/early 00s in the Midwest and it was definitely looked down upon. I only did it for about 9 months as my first job as a stepping stone to a desirable job selling tickets at the movie theater, which was a stepping stone to very desirable mall retail at the CD/game store. McDonalds hired 15 year olds with work permits, the movie theater only hired age 16+, and the mall stores preferred 18+ so they could work longer hours. Everyone knew boys were grocery baggers/stockers, bused tables at the local restaurants, or worked at the garden centers during the summers or over the holidays in the Christmas tree lot. Girls were cashiers and worked retail.

Also ... even then, only working class and middle class kids worked at real stores. Upper middle class kids had cushy jobs working for their parents or parents friends, or devoted all their spare time to studying or sports. The only places I see teens working around here are Wegmans and Chick Fil A, and even then I can’t tell if they are high school or college age. [/quote]
