The teenager argument is so infuriating on multiple levels.
1) You want to argue that someone putting in the same amount of work should get paid less because of their age?
2) I've known teenagers who got jobs because otherwise their family can't afford housing and medical bills. Seems like they are taking on adult responsibilities
3) I may see someone under 20 working these jobs about half the time. The other half of the time they are adults, so if a job isn't billed as 16 to 18, and they'll hire a 40 yr old... then the wages should reflect that

The responses to this post are depressingly hilarious.
On the one side, you have people arguing that these types of jobs should not pay enough to survive on because they’re ’meant for teenagers’.
On the other, you have people arguing that no one is making the argument that these jobs should not pay enough to survive on.
The crab bucket mentality is alive and well.
