So You Wanna Scoop Some Fun? The Age Scoop on Working at Baskin Robbins in Washington State
Ah, Baskin Robbins! Land of 31 flavors, birthday cakes that look like they belong in an ice cream museum, and a chance to wear a uniform that basically screams "free samples" (disclaimer: free samples may not be a real perk, but hey, a spoonful never hurt...). But before you put on your imaginary pink hairnet and dream of sugar rushes all day, there's a burning question: how old do you gotta be to join the waffle cone brigade in Washington state?
The Big Dip: 16 and Ready to Roll (or Scoop)
QuickTip: Scan for summary-style sentences.
That's right, ice cream enthusiasts, in Washington, you gotta be at least 16 years old to become a Baskin Robbins employee. This is because most Baskin Robbins stores have tasks that involve operating machinery (like those dreamy ice cream dispensers) and late-night shifts, which have restrictions for minors in the state.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.
But Wait, There's More! (Because There's Always More Ice Cream)
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
