My mother and I debate how retail/food service jobs aren't specifically made for teenagers so they need to find a way to increase average pay. She claims that those jobs have always been for teenagers.

I was just looking through the "yearbook" pictures of an old department store , no less than 80% of the hundred+ staff looked like they were above the age of 50.

Something clearly went wrong somewhere.

The thing is, I wouldn't even care if teenagers were paid a lot. That just means they'd spend a lot right back into the economy.
