That's because it's Culvers. Jokes on ya'll, their recruiting literature make it clear that workers are family. As long as they're not employees it's all good!

They could have adrenal hypoplasia such that they never started puberty. Like that one guy who looks like a 6-year-old but is actually 30.

Thirteen year olds working in the Netherlands don't qualify for minimum wage- "13: (The minimum age of employment under the supervision and with no guarantee of a minimum wage.)". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_working_age

I worked at an Arcade/Restaurant when I was 13 for 25-30 hours a week. It was absolutely a positive experience for me and it's a shame to see so many people here crucify the idea of any child working at that age. Y'all haven't the slightest idea whats the motivation and just assume they are being forced into it or something. Having a job so young built character and showed me that I was able to get the things I wanted in life if I put in the 'hard' work. Nobody forced me to work those hours, I wanted to! Props to Culver's for providing the opportunity to kids.

Yup. I was picking up lawn mowing accounts when I was 12-13, and it was the best feeling in the world buying myself the jeep that I wanted two weeks before I turned 16.

I was delivering papers at 11 or 12. First real job at 14.

My daughter just turned 14 and she has her first job working one day a week at an after school program.

This should not be such a big deal. You learn important life skills and have your own money to spend.
