From chief MidAtlantic Correspondent Glenn McMillen...
No Shah Shah! Precocious 2 year old achieving American Dream
Who says labor laws are enforced in America? Formosa Gardens restaurant in New Iberia, LA, has their cash register operated by a toddler!
Little Gordon Tan runs the credit card machine, handles the cash, providing correct change, and tallies the tickets into the register. All while propped on top of a tall chair.
When his employers (also, ironically, his parents) let him off of the chair, the two task-masters have him running about the restaurant counting customers, seating them, and letting mom and dad know when they are out of Shah, or Shrimp.
When they run out of shrimp — "shah shah" in Chinese — Gordon runs into the kitchen and yells, "No shah shah!"
When Gordon's folks try to correct him at the register, he firmly tells them to leave him alone. And next year they won't have him to bully around anymore, 'cause he'll be starting daycare.
