Today a confusing moment when we got our lunches delivered in our office. My office manager Scott and I looked at each other when we saw the delivery boy. "He should have been at school," said Scott, rather to the point.
It was very obvious a new arrival from the country side in Shanghai and he was away before we realized what had happened. Child labor you do not see that often in Shanghai, unless you would include the pressure of parents and schools on children to perform also child labor (and actually, it is).
We used this company before and it was the first time they used a child to deliver, so I'm still thinking of what to do. Maybe have a chat with the boy tomorrow and see if he wants to talk, but today he looked really scared.
What would you do?

Don't buy from that place again... As simple as that. There are tons of places to get food from in Shanghai, stick to the ones that doesn't use child labour!
