Do you have a friend, or family member, or someone you know who's 14 or 15?

My local McDonalds. Y’all!!! They are hiring 14 & 15 year olds!! And they’re paying them $15/hour! Feels like I’ve entered some sort of weird alternate reality. pic.twitter.com/WiW6novPbv

"They get the technology. They catch on really quickly," boss Heather Coleman says.
I wonder how many TikToks will be made in that store.
