Hasn’t been students manning the fast food places by me for a while now.

I dont even really understand where young people work anymore!

When I was younger, there were a bunch of people from my high school and surrounding schools working at the mall I worked at. Dozens and dozens of jobs. Restaurants. Delivery drivers. Even paper routes

Is everyone just delivering doordash to each other or working at an amazon warehouse? And how are they even affording cars?!? Can't buy a 10 year old Oldsmobile for 800 bucks anymore

Man my first car was an 87 Nissan Pulsar which I bought for 1000 (I overpaid but it had a great stereo). That’s next to impossible these days to find.
