They would be more likely to serve their peers. Had a friend that worked at Boston Market that would give me an extra side when ordering a meal.

Or would that technically allow a 14 y/o bartender as well?
(I'm mostly thinking of serving drinks in a place like Applebee's, etc. vs. a straight up bar)
Yeah, nothing like 14 year old cocktail waitresses.The argument is likely that the kids can help out in the family owned bar. Wisconsin has an alcohol soaked culture so this proposal isn't outside the pale.
Servers are the first contact with a customer. They have to determine if the customer has already been drinking, has had to much, should be served alcohol, or be cut off. 14 year old's don't remotely have the maturity, experience of character judgement, or ability to make a safe and just judgement call. Bartenders generally never see a customer out in the restaurant, some don't even have the time/ability to keep track of all the customers inside the bar itself if they have cocktail waitresses/waiters. That doesn't even include other reasons such as sneaking sips, or serving underage friends. Not caring about ID checks.. etc. We have 30 year old's who don't have the ability to make a proper judgement call, or who over look shady ID's cuz she's "hot". I would rather have a 14 year old be given the ability to vote than be in the position of deciding if someone should be served alcohol. It's like handing them a loaded gun to wave around the room.I admittedly don't understand age restriction when it comes to *serving* alcohol.

First state, I ever saw a tiny rural town with 8 buildings 3 of which are bars. Of course, growing up south of the Mason Dixon line dry counties were the norm. Hell, Arlington county didn't have liquor by the drink until I left for tech school at 18.The argument is likely that the kids can help out in the family owned bar.

Bars outnumber churches, Walmart, Walgreens, etc. all combined in WI. Hell, you could probably add soda machines to that list too. Where other states have dry counties, we have wet counties where everyone drinks and people don't get arrested for drunk driving.First state, I ever saw a tiny rural town with 8 buildings 3 of which are bars.

Facts not in evidence.I started working when I was 12 and I turned out perfectly fine.
I'm not even sure where to start on what a crock of absolute dogshit this comment is.Silly liberals. They have their panties in a bunch because kids want to work, and not sit on their asses complaining about the world like others do.

Just remember...don't get caught with that devil's lettuce, or they'll burn your heretic ass at the stake. And they'll keep it like that for another 50+ years if they can.
I'll wait and see what happens, but I FULLY expect it not to. We've been at that point before, and it ended up being a fart in the wind each time. Not too many of those regressive fucks want it.There is a bill for medical legalization in the WI legislature right now. The gov tried to get full adult legalization but the repugs won't go for it. Sounds like they may pass it for medical though.
Guess what I have been working since I was 8 years old, collecting a pay check, and paying taxes with social security records to prove it. But I am not going to sit here and lie like you and make it sound like I did it willingly.Silly liberals.

It isn't necessarily because they're still running with 'Reefer Madness' beliefs, though there are some that are/do. It isn't because they don't want the state to get the tax windfall from legalizing, the legislature has discussed it numerous times.
No. The reason they won't do it is because other people, including their political opposites, want it. That's it. That's all.
Over 65% of the state's citizens want it (full legalization). They so love to deny the voters what they want. And the rednecks keep re-electing them from the farmer districts. It's not going to change anytime soon.

Just like you, I did not have a choice. And all though I turned out fine, It cost me a lot of unnecessary hardships, negativity effected my education, and prevented me from having a childhood among a laundry list of other things.
What you call complaining is people who are tired of being exploited and abused by the immoral, inhumane, abusive systems at work in the USA.
I did it willingly because I wanted money. I did not have to. I was able to afford a lot of things back then and paid for things I needed. I learned a lot of things too. If you have had a negative experience you cannot say that all will have the same. That prejudges the outcome based on a theory they will all be negative.
You might have been in the privileged position where your basics are covered by your parents and you earning extra allows you to buy things you want (not need).I did it willingly because I wanted money.

You are ONE person. The odds that some kids are going to end up working (without even going to school) because their basics aren't even being covered are high. Try to think outside of yourself and your immediate circle.

99% chance Felix is just straight up lying given his posting history.
If you where working so you could afford things you NEEDED, you where not working willingly. Needs are normally provided by parents. If they are not providing them, then you had no choice but to work to obtain them yourself. It wasn't a choice. Or are you confusing needs with wants and desires which your parents wouldn't buy, because they wanted to teach you how to earn/save buy.. aka responsibility? We aren't talking about baby sitting, or meowing people's lawns, stuff that kids do today as well, just like when you where 12 years old. Because their parents won't buy them something and expect them to earn and save for it, teaching them a life lesson about money and responsibility. We are talking about working, getting a pay check, paying taxes and actually providing actual needs.I did it willingly because I wanted money. I did not have to.
