And you are not being truthful about fast food restaurants Tony. There are not McDonalds staffed with all middle aged people.
I go to the grocery store and of course it's usually older women running the cash register. Always has been my entire life for the most part. They are working because they want extra money.
But I'm talking fast food here. You're just not telling the truth if you are claiming you don't see young people working at McDonalds. That's a lie.

Being 100% honest here. I went to my local McDonald's about three weeks ago. The drive through had a lot of cars in it so I parked and went inside. Of the roughly 10 employees I saw (there were some in the back I couldn't see) I would say 7 of them were people over the age of 40 or very close to it. This was in the middle of the afternoon. If I went back at say 5pm after school was out, there might be more younger people there, but there are a lot of older people working. In fact, in a recent study they found the average age of a fast food worker was 29.2 years old.
Yes, these jobs are meant for people who are just starting out or who are looking for a part time gig for a little extra money, but there are plenty of older people working them for a number of reasons. Also, I'm not advocating for a $15/hr wage, I'm just saying there are likely a lot more older people working in fast food than you realize.
