City Requires Business License Before Teens Can Cut Grass

[boilermaker55]

Now , now, it was about the winking and pointing.

It is so sad you cannot keep control of your own children.
Teach them the right way to do things, you know, according to rules and regulations.
It seems the snowflakes on the right always think the rules apply to others and not them.

So instead of these teens actually working and earning money they can go to the malls and act like degenerates that is so common place now days

India may not retain its title of #1 License Raj much longer......

Mexico heavily regulates any activity to income making also. From a shoe shine boy to selling Chicklets to tourist.

The lawn?

Liscense and fees are a way to keep certain people out of a business.

Yeah, we don't want some school kid out there working hard to make money over the summer, that wouldn't be right. We should encourage our kids to sit their asses on the couch and watch TV and teach them that government owes them and they shouldn't have to work for money.

My 15-year-old has been trying to get a job for over a year now, but no one will hire someone that young.

If he went out and mowed lawns, or make his own business he would be fine. When I was 10, I started working, mowed lawns, picked berries, cherries, beans, peaches, sold apples, sold record albums, wrote stories for a local newspaper and on and on.

He wanted to write but it required a contract. I offered to sign it for him, or even use my name to publish and give him the dough, but he didn't like the idea. He wants to be his own man.
I mowed lawns and did agriculture work, but around here there is none of that available.

What a Joke!
Why the hell would you need a license to mow a fuken yard?

1. To make money for the city.
2. To keep competition down.
3. Maybe the cities insurance company put them up to it to reduce the limits of their liability.
I am more slanted to #1.

The government learned a lot from the mob. You work in our turf we get a piece of the action.

The right way to do things is to not require a fuken license to cut grass.
You dumb fukes and your adoration of government regulations..

And in Alabama of all places.

I thought you southerners were free people.

Guess I was wrong.

You seem to have the misconception that Republicans are any different than Democrats

In a better day tar and feathers would be in use.

Business license required for teens to cut grass in Gardendale, Alabama.

Teenagers have been threatened by officials and other lawn services to show their city issued license before cutting a person’s lawn for extra summer cash.

Cutting grass is often one of the first jobs many have in the summer. But a business license in Gardendale costs $110. And for a job, just for a couple of months, that can be a bit extreme.

“I have never heard of a child cutting grass had to have a business license,” said Elton Campbell.
Campbell’s granddaughter cuts grass around the neighborhood.

“She charges one lady $20, and another lady $30, and another girl $40 besides what we pay her,” said Campbell.

For her, this was the perfect summer gig!

“Just helping out and raising money for admissions and trips,” said Alainna Parris.

But now, it’s becoming a hassle.

“One of the men that cuts several yards made a remark to one of our neighbors, ‘that if he saw her cutting grass again that he was going to call Gardendale because she didn’t have a business license,” said Campbell.

Red state. Thought you red-staters didn't like business licenses.

Excuse me asshole but our children are not at malls causing grief, they each have daily chores they have to do before anything else is done and they are paid an allowance.

That is a shame, I think being able to work when you are young is a great asset later in life. I had my kids work with me in my business and they all started at a young age. I love your son's attitude and independent spirit. Does he have a blog? I love to encourage young writers to write.

Yes, he has a blog, but he mostly works on writing on two books.

In conservative Alabama of all places. lol

 

[NYcarbineer]

Yeah of course the RW'ers throw a fit over this but it doesn't bother them that businesses are allowed to pay teenagers sub-minimum for temporary jobs.

And it was done in a conservative state.
