I was at a tim Hortons in Canada. Had this experience seeing a youngin' working, except it literally seemed like the whole staff was this age. It was enough kids to prompt us to ask what the working age was in Canada. The young lady informed us it was 13 or so

I worked at a Timmie's when I was 13 as well. I hated it, only good thing was I got free coffee for me and my family. I worked by choice because I wanted some spending money but that's cause my family has always been poor and I couldn't get spending money by doing chores around the house the way my friends did. Sucked not being able to hang out with my buddies and play games cause I had to go to work. Again, it was my choice but it fucking sucks that I had to make that choice just to have some pocket money.

The manager was a cunt as well. Would berate me for having the audacity to not be available 7 days a week after school since I also played hockey at the time.
