And yeh, private or local places will hire younger kids because they're not under a "national" rule/code/law.
Yes I'm sure, I just called the one around the corner and asked them...I can give you the number if you like. Every state has different rules and regulations to follow. Just because they say they won't hire under 14, doesn't mean they always hire at that age, it just means they will never hire younger than that at any location.

Briana, I honestly have to say calling your mom lazy for not cooking you a veggie burger isn't very nice IMO, you are plenty old enough to cook it for yourself. Parents have plenty to do without always catering to the whims of their kids and I'm sure she's doing the best she can. If you are old enough to get a job, you are old enough to be cookin HER dinner rather than calling her lazy. She works hard every day to provide for you and get you the things that you want, so it comes across as selfish on your part to call her lazy.
