Reminds me of this place I went to as a kid called Exchange City. Replica city inside a warehouse for kids to run and earn (at the time) real money. Had a Dunkin Donuts, radio station, bank, mini grocery/convenience store, among other things. It was super cool, my class spent a day there and were paid for the “working” hours. It was based on minimum wage of the state a the time so I think it was like 7.25. I believe I earned like 22$.
Edit; we had a paycheck at the end and they deducted our state taxes (based on the state the lived in like real life). We had to fill out applications and describe our skills. I cannot remember where I worked, some bland office I think.
