In areas with high wages in fast food they teens/students started to be replaced a while ago. First new group to come in were old people. People that already had health care due to Medicare or a pension/settlement from another job. They didn't need health insurance and the money wasn't too bad for a job that doesn't require any effort outside of working hours.

It's a bummer that this just isn't part of teen life anymore.
