“Do high schoolers work anymore? “
No. Insane minimum wage laws made it nearly impossible to pay for the kind of jobs they used to do. Kids used to bag groceries and all sorts of low value jobs. Many of those jobs no longer exist because they are not worth minimum wage.
Sorry, I didn’t notice I was replying to an undead thread.
I have many high school kids working at my small pizza restaurant.
The servers only get $2.35 and hour plus tips. I pay them $5 to start.
Cooks get $8 plus tip pool.
They go home every shift with tip cash.
Older workers I pay more with no tips.
