Yeah, I worked in hospitality my entire 20s in a major American city, only ONCE did I work with an actual HS teenager and that was at a middle-brow Mexican place and his family knew the owners, and he only worked weekends. Great kid though.

Also, most places serve alcohol and teens can't serve.

Considering how profitable alcohol is, I wonder if that regulation isn't a major factor in hiring under 21s.

FWIW, many states allow you to serve alcohol once you're 18. But the "high schooler" lack is still in play.
