Makesense I think it is good for your son to start earlier. At least, he can learn from the older boys and become better person. It also mentally prepare him to be a tough person ahead.

Makesense The answer is absolute NO. The girls should be careful of the manager in future. His character is out of line. In fact, the employee should look for work in other fast foot outlets or other decent establishments.
