REJOICE! woohoo!

[Lexagon]

Well maybe receptionist was the wrong word. We have a lot of local stores around here who hire the younger the side of high school students. So it'd be more like a cashier kind of thing I suppose.

Thanks for the insight though.

Teenagers are more likely to be robbed as cashiers than adults. Robbers feel more confident that teenagers will not have the experience to know what to do, the courage to resist, or the ability to identify them later.

This is especially true in a small business where the teenage employee is likely to be the only one there. The younger you are, the more likely it is you will be seen as a good target.

The younger you are, or appear to be, the more likely it is that you will be harassed or abused by customers and the less likely it is that you will fight back or complain.

The younger you are, the less likely it is you will be aware of the various ploys shoplifters use. Also, the less likely you are to report your friends for shoplifting (I'm not saying "you" wouldn't, I'm merely reporting the statistics, which is all that a business can go on).

Depending on the state, 16 year olds may be classified as adults for some purposes, such as risk when working. No state classifies 14 year olds as adults. This opens up the business to significant liabilities, such as "child endangerment," if the employee will be working alone. Some areas of fast food, such as meat cutters, grills, or deep fryers, are dangerous. There are laws in place forbidding people under 16 to operate such areas. Yet if the business has a shift where there are only 3 people working, and one of them has to take a break, the business cannot then find itself in the position of stopping work because someone can't operate the area.

I can go on if you like, but those are the examples that I know of for fact because I have been in all those businesses at one time or another.

Oh no, its okay. Thank you for all the information.

I never really thought about all those things, I assumed since I'd seen other kids working who were older than me but still young that I should be able to work too. Thanks.

Did the heavens fall yet? We got both our federal and state refunds a day apart! Sooooo - dolly decisions to be made!! Do I get a AoD 58cm Qian? A Sleeping Elf tiny Moona? A FL pukisha (Pukipuki or Pukifee)? ARRRRGGGGGGHHHH!

PUKI PUKI!

Add the Pukisha set and other magic items. They don't eat much.

AMEN. It has been the longest week all summer. It has been over 100 each day here! My office has air conditioning...but it's still brutal going out to the car. My doggie is very unhappy - she hasn't been able to go on any walks this week.

But as far as doll rejoicing goes, my BBB Isabella arrives on Monday! and all her new stuff arrived from Denver Doll today! She now has three wigs to choose from...oops.

And even MORE doll rejoicing...I am adopting Kirafaye's AoD Qian girl! I love her sculpt, I'm so excited She will be shipping next week, hopefully...

Kratos has boots coming(from China)! And I got some teen trend dresses(and jewelery) for my girls coming too, without shoes though. But I've been wanting the dresses for awhile so it was worth it.

Shiina's head and eyes and wig will be coming this week~ also I just ordered some clothes for my elf :3 still looking for a wig for her though..

[AlmySidaKay]

I'd suggest Leekeworld, I just found the most amazing light blue wig from there for my Evie. I love it so much, and the quality is amazing! <3

[Chaye]
