MODERATORS
Some facts to consider:
- This happened in New South Wales, in a very rural area. People are not going to commute out to this remote location for minimum wage.
- Kids volunteer on the weekends and parents sign off on it.
- Some of the kids like it because they don't have anything else to do, they learn a job skill, and they make a little money.
That said, I don't agree with it. Hire adults and do what everyone else does by having a "bring your child to work day/week" if you want to teach kids. Or make a field trip. Let's not go backwards in society to benefit companies.
Oh, well then, it's perfectly fine...
NO. WTF?!?

Res hats have just been ruined
I imagine this was a field trip or something like that and it has been evolving to be more rage inducing since that picture was taken.
Reminds me of the story about a school field trip to a cotton farm and they got the kids to go out in the fields to pick cotton and at the end of the day they didn't get to keep the cotton they picked, the farm kept it.

I'm also thinking this is the case, especially since the kid's hat still has a tag on it. I imagine that would be a gift shop purchase.
