There is a shop that requires an underaged kid to buy an "M" rated game at a gaming store. It's a VERY easy shop. I love doing them. However, in the gaming store, there are NO "small purchases." The cheapest thing I could find are earbuds for $5....and all of my kids have multiple earbuds compliments of this shop; we don't NEED any more! (We even give them out to friends at Christmas, etc!) Unfortunately, there is no gum, no candy bars, no pens, etc. AND it's a $12 shop with a purchase requirement but no purchase funds.
So I no longer do the shop. I have four kids and have done it often...one of my kids has already "aged out" of this. The next kid is 16 and will "age out" in a couple months. Got two kids left after that....
The thing is: I've TOLD the scheduler this. I've said, "I can't do those anymore; I just can't be comfortable about spending more than half of my pay for something I don't really need or want. There is nothing cheap enough in the store."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All of that is with one MSC
ANOTHER MSC does the same type of shop, but their client is a big box store as opposed to the little independently owned (??) gaming stores. There IS candy and gum and things that would work as bday/Christmas gifts/stocking stuffers, etc in the big box store. I will do those in every town I drive through all day long.....
