‘It’s like babysitting a bunch of kids’: Bojangles manager shares what it’s like having teenage workers on his shift
A shift manager shared his point of view on what it's like working with teenagers on his shift in a viral TikTok.
In the six-second clip, TikTok user Von (@emperorvon) sits at his desk, seemingly minding his own business with a headset.
“POV: you run a shift full of teenagers,” the text overlay reads. Then a TikTok audio plays the sounds of a crash and his head turns.
“Now, who the fuck did that?” he lip-syncs a soundbite from Scary Movie 3, followed by him throwing his arms up in the air exasperatedly and storming out.
In the caption, he adds, "It’s like babysitting a bunch of kids."

“My work on a daily,” one viewer wrote.
“No cause theres me and like 5 others teens on a shift on a Friday night we cause nothing but chaos for our manager,” a teenage worker confirmed.
“Especially the closing shifts oh my god,” a third agreed.
Some teenagers chimed in, claiming the situation was not unfamiliar in their experience.
“Me at my job I stay dropping stuff,” one user agreed.
“I swear I break something every shift. ion know how,” a second commented.
“I always sound like I’m breaking some cause i throw dishes into the sink,” a third stated.

“At my job the teens have such a better work ethic than the adults and the crew members do more than the shift leads and managers,” one person shared.
“Nah fr but teenagers HAVE always been my best & most responsible workers so,” a second concurred.
