Do you think teenagers should look for their own jobs, instead of the parents posting on Facebook?

Saw this by a parent. Does anyone know of any work going for a 16 year old?
No please or thanks. It was written by the parent.
Where's the basic manners? So lazy also.
I looked for my own work at 16. If I knew of any work going. I probably wouldn't answer this. I'd prefer someone who was looking themselves or someone that was more polite and possibly went into more detail.

I've asked on behalf of my teens, due to FB being only for us oldies!

I think your overthinking this
I have seen loads of posts like this
And you get replies like Smiths Greengrocers are looking for Saturday staff
Or the Italian restaurant on the high street are looking for kitchen porters .

My dc don’t have Facebook so I would help them in that sense, but I’d also expect them to proactive too.

You are right, I think, but not much you can do about it!

Parent is just helping a child out and looking for leads. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Are they not just asking if anyone knows of any openings? Not sure I can see anything wrong with that.
