Maybe? I worked at McDonald’s for 6 years so what do I know. I never worked at McD as a kid, so I learned it somewhere! As a software developer, McDonald’s was the best job of my career. The kids that I “taught” were not being exploited. Seriously, regular work grinded to a halt. Making 5 icecream cones an hour, albeit with child labor, is not an improvement. 95% of the kids were children of teachers of the local school - it was a big show for all of the regular parents to see their teachers kids serve them food. Dystopian? Maybe. At the end of the day, I believe working food service benefits most people. All I know is that the kids were having an absolute blast. Very fun
They’re training kids to be future workers.
Perhaps just let kids play and forget all about training to be “future workers”.
Is this what we’ve become? Jesus!

I agree with that, for a number of reasons. I just don’t think we need programs from McDonald’s to train 5-12 year olds to be fast food workers.
