In the UK you need to be 15 to be able to work in a pet shop with out reptiles, and 18 to work in a petshop with reptiles, hope this helps
 
I believe the best time to start work is 15-16 years old.

i was denied a job by my mom until i was 18

she thought it wasnt right :screwy:

That is weird, especially because you informed me your mother is mexican.
 
aahahha, no good dude. Now your playing on the stereotype that because somebody is Mexican, they automatically classify as a good worker. Stereotypes, even "positive" ones are wrong.

I am well informed on the mexican, and native american culture. They are respectable people, with an epic heritage.

I grew up with Mexicans, and IME they are very prone to be motivated to work. Sure there are idiots who make their people look bad, but most, generally work hard.

also, there is alot of logical support for stereotyping, I hardly consider it "wrong".

I wonder what would happen if you got your kid to buy an ice cream cone and then take it back when the ice cream is gone.

The laws in New Zealand might be diferrent.

In the U.S.A. you should have no trouble getting a refund. However, no good will come out of training young minds to be dishonest at such young age, and you may never be able to buy anything again from the same store.

Most store owners that are aware of the law here will sell to minors trusting that the adults supervising them will do the right, moral, and decent thing to do.
