That is sad about your cousin. I know sometimes in family businesses, the kids take a large hit in terms of work hours!
Maybe your cousin could use your support - tell him it will get better, when he gets older he can do his own thing, etc. Do you think he hates the hours, too?
What if you put your foot down & said to your Uncle - "I understand that you need to make a profit, and that the margins are very tight. However, I'm disappointed in some of your choices. I'm not going to be able to keep working here unless you let me help make some changes. For example, I'm going to honor the cards UNTIL we put up signs stating otherwise. And we need to honor all the food codes and food violation codes, too."
Do you think that would have any effect? Would he laugh, yell, or just fire you? Would it make trouble with your mom & dad?
Sorry this is so difficult.
