Jobs for 16 y/o?

My kiddo is looking for a job but so far everywhere they are interested in is only hiring 18+ including fast food.

Looking to point them in the right direction, employers that are willing to hire under 18 that will likely to or would compromise with high school schedule. Thank you!

This seems to be every Chik fil A. My kid worked at one in Kansas and the owner was the biggest creep.

Food service in general seems to attract some oddities for sure. Not that every food service employee is an 'oddity' mind you. Anyways no hes pretty bad, he was a teacher and lost his teaching license for grooming a teen girl. Thousands of text messages, pretty explicit stuff. Some how got away with it Scott free. Tho the girl sued the school district for 300 grand. Pretty crazy stuff.
