Mom asks 15-year-old's fast food manager if she can clock out 20 minutes after her shift ends, teen gets massively upset: 'Your 15 year old should be clocking out on time'

When you're a teenager, being embarrassed by your parents is a rite of passage.When you're working your first job as a teen, there is a big learning curve about everything. You're just figuring out how to be a human with a job, and a lot can go wrong. There are many nuances that go into working life that might not be obvious unless you've been doing it for a while. This is why it's good to have a low-stakes job as a teen. You get a little cash, a little independence, and you start learning what it's like to have a job. This can be an adjustment, though, for the teen and the family supporting them. It can be fertile ground for conflict if not handled in the right way. The family in this story was learning that.
