    This. Kids love “dramatic” play…that is, imaginative play in a costumed role.

    Plenty of kids with day-glow vests and hardhats, nobody is knocking them. Plenty of kids with cop costumes, or cowboy hats, or spacesuits, or fireman jackets.

    I agree with you entirely…it’s a bit “weird” on the surface, but this is really great play for kids. Kids are absolutely interested in what happens behind the scenes (or at least behind the counter) and building independence by making their own snacks and stuff.

    Just as long as they aren’t having kids working at factory chicken farms. Because that would likely scar them for life. Then again, maybe they should.
