I can't remember the last time I saw a teenager working a fast food job. If you live in a city or even most suburbs, the teenage burger flipper hasn't been around in a long time. Those jobs have been the domain of single mothers, unskilled immigrants, and high school dropouts. They are attempting to use these jobs to do things that these jobs were never intended to do: pay rent, feed a family, and provide for a retirement.

These were jobs meant to help new workers build a work history and learn basic workplace skills (i.e. timeliness, team work, and discipline) which would allow them to transition to better jobs within a short period of time. Apparently, lots of millennials who scream about "adulting" could use some time in these jobs.
