Something that seems immediately apparent to me is that these folks are not fresh high school students. Adults used to work these jobs.
And they were a proper fleet who has delivered in the same areas for years, making them extremely experienced in navigating those streets.
This also led to better customer service. You had a relationship with your driver.
I can't even remember what jobs teenagers were supposed to have. Newspaper delivery? Ice cream bike guy? That's all I got.
teenagers as a group designation used to not be a thing. you were a child until you could do adult jobs and then you were an adult.
children would have menial jobs like coal miner, day labourer, the guy who sticks their hand into the mechanical loom when it gets stuck...
If you didn't mow lawns, you were never a tween/teen.
Bagging groceries. That job doesn't even exist anymore
Market Basket, Stop and Shop, and so many others still have people for this.
It still does in my area. Not every grocery store, but the big grocery chain around here definitely does. Sometimes they even offer to take my groceries to the car for me which has surprised me.
Work that grocers have passed onto their customers that they used to do themselves:
Good ol shadow work.
Ikea is the greatest.
All of those used to be paid work, some even being part of the "white glove" service. Instead, we pay with our time, a finite resource.
When is comes to Ikea, what you pay in time is taken off the price, according to my experience
That's their literal business model.
In theory, yes, I agree. But make sure you properly value yourself! You only have so much time to give.
Though, that was also said about digital games instead of physical ones, that the savings get passed onto the consumer. Not a 1:1 but that one is going swimmingly right now 😅
At least it's good exercise
How about none ? You're a teen, you just need to learn, socialize and have fun. Don't work before your an adult.
Ah, privilege. Parents had ok jobs. As soon as I needed sports equipment or wanted to go out to eat/pay for friends etc etc it was lawn mowing, paper route, construction from 6th grade.
Yeah, I dunno, I wanted to work, because I know it would give me money to go do things I wanted to do. Got my first job at 15, which was the youngest you could work in NJ, and have had consistent employment ever since. Money is, unfortunately, important.
