I actually would give the manager as much cred as possible here. They’re probably two years older than she is, what the hell can they do besides let her work and keep their head down about it? Within their scope, they really are trying to help.
Oh, 100%. I had hoped to make it clear that the manager is just another person without any actual power. The only power they have is to not send them home and have them work the register instead of the fryer. That maybe the lowest tier power possible granting the largest yet meager favor they can stands out is, as you said, everyone else failing them.
