Talk about graduating from a Happy Meal to an Extra Value Meal! Two enterprising 10 year-olds from the Louisville, Kentucky area were Lovin It so much they took on jobs working the fryer, the cash register, and in the burger prep area, some nights until 2 AM! That’s some McGumption!
Anyway, CBS News reports the US Department of Labor cited franchisee Bauer Food, LLC for gross child labor violations. Owner Sean Bauer tried to pull some bullshit excuse saying the kids were just helping out their parents who ran the locations “and that any work the children did was at the direction of, and in the presence of, the parent.” What a prick, trying to put the blame on his workers.
