Teenagers and working , opinions please

[hahahavefun]

Your 14 yr old is given a job but only for school holidays and weekends , your child is not given a roster as to what weekends or when they are to work but are asked if there is a weekend they cant work please give 2 weeksnotice of this . If they are given the day to work but the weatner is **bleep** boss will ring and say dont come in .    Your child give notice about an upcoming family wedding and wont be available for that weekend and another family engagement 4 weeks after that . Your child then gets a phone call saying we have employed someone else so please bring the shirts back as your not reliable .   This boss will ring your child on the Friday wanting them to work a day that weekend . I dont believe this is fair are they supposed to not make any plans and sit around in hoping they might get a phone call . In my opinion the boss should be giving them a roster and if she wants 2 weeks notice if they cant work the kids should be given 2 weeks notice if they are wanted so not to make any plans .

It is also not good for retail business, because people without steady income are more careful about their spending.
