I predicted that people would react in a puzzled manner and maybe act a bit more distant. I work as a hostess at the Cheesecake Factory, and used my constant interaction with strangers to my advantage. Because people, namely strangers, walk in and out at almost a constant rate, the restaurant proved to be a perfect place to test my ethnomethodology hypothesis. Procedures My first experiment was actually unplanned. I was in the middle of talking with one of the servers in our restaurant, when a guest walked directly in between our talk line abruptly interrupting our conversation.
I know that if you eat too much acidic food than you can get wicked bad heart burn to the point it feels like your heart is on fire. This movie would definitely change how I eat at Mcdonalds!, no more chicken nuggets for me after I saw how they made them. Morgan had started to have very bad chest pains once he started to eat all of the Mcdonalds in one month. It was hard to believe that there were seventeen different Mcdonalds in New York City in that little town. People say that it is Mcdonalds fault for them gaining weight, but what they don’t understand is that they have the choice wether they should eat it or not, or even how much they eat.
Food appears constantly in The Importance of Being Earnest, from cucumber sandwiches to tea and cake to muffins. The function of food in this play is not just to add a detail to an unusually hungry character .As a matter of fact ,it is a reflection of male characters' weakness in the high society In Act 1, Algernon orders a plate of cucumber sandwiches and bread and butter for his expected guests, Lady Bracknell and Gwendolen. He devours gradually all the sandwiches before the guests arrive. After the absence of promised cucumber sandwiches was brought to his attention, Algernon blamed the lack of them on his servant, Lane, not picking them up at the market that morning rather than admitted his own fault. The fact that he quickly came up with a fib to tell in front of his guests obviously shows how used to covering up his eating problem he is.
This chapter begins with a description of the hamburger stands and diners on Route 66. The typical diner is run by a usually irritated woman who nevertheless becomes friendly when truck drivers consistent customers who can always pay enter. The more wealthy travelers drop names and buy vanity products. The owners of the diners complain about the migrating workers, who can't pay and often steal. A family comes in, wanting to buy a loaf of bread.
We are led to believe and think a certain way because of the appearance of the characters in the story. It is not until we look beyond appearances that we can start asking sensible questions of the story. The story challenges the perception and appearances of characters to make the reader question each situation happening as it unfolds. Hemingway is quick to set the scene of this story as he writes, “The door of Henry’s lunchroom opened and two men came in.” After a few lines, “Outside it was getting dark. The street-light came on outside the window.” The scene is a prohibition era diner in which two supposed “killers” are eating and the supposed worker at the diner, George.
Eric Shlosser is conveying many teenagers who work at a fast food restaurant, his purpose is to evaluate the conditions of those people who prepare and serve the food. He wants to be the voice to those people who work extremely too hard for low and minimum wage rates. In the book Fast food nation & Reefer Madness, Behind the counter make the reader conscience about what American cannot see in the fast food industry. Eric Shlosser has a strong and great point of view in his article and he proves it with evidence. Schlosser started his essay with a description of Elisa Zamot’s routine.
The second lesson James Baldwin learned in the “Notes of a Native Son”, would have to be about Racism. The way James Baldwin learns about racism is when he was in New Jersey; his “white” friends took him to a restaurant. When his friends took him there, a waitress said them that “We don’t serve Negros here” (page 95 top paragraphs). James and his friend only wanted were “a hamburger and a cup of coffee” (also page 95). Through out the “Notes of a Native Son”, there was many accounts of racism, but I choose to use the one that spoke to me the most.
It was like running a marathon starting from 7 in the morning till 12 at noon. I was always on the edge and had to serve the customers one after the other. For my job I was expected to help the customers at the counter, clean the counter, and sweep the store. Aside from all these, the store also had a deli counter where I sometimes had to make sandwiches for the customer. Making sandwiches was the nightmare of my job because my sandwiches always came out differently compared to my boss’s sandwiches which made the customers unhappy.
This also will cause future problems, such as closing the sandwich at the end. When someone fails to cut the bread on a 90 degree angle the customer also gets upset because they are buying it and consuming it. When people cut the sub so badly that the bread gets deformed and a hole appears, were forced to waste food and throw the product out. The second step in making a great sandwich is knowing the formula for each sub. The formula for meats is a little more difficult to remember than the formula for veggies.
We meet two feds, Rupert Anderson and Alan Ward, who tries to solve the mystery, and already when they move into the town, they meet hostility from the old men who scowl at them from the shadows. Shortly after, they step into a diner, and Ward decides to take a seat in the coloured area, which fills the, before vivacious and joyful, diner with total silence. Later, in the barbershop, the mayor proclaims that there are two different cultures: “a white culture, and a coloured culture”. This is in evidence with the communities too, where the Jim Crow laws were still going strong, which meant that the racial segregation was still going on at its finest. All this gives us a picture of a segregated community, where the blacks have no rights, no speech and no respect.
