He insists they would not eat as much if they knew that it was bad for them or if the industry put nutrition labels on their food. My outlook on this topic varied significantly from that of Zinczenko’s. I feel that it is not the fault of the fast food company. Neither would I put blame on the younger children who eat fast food. I would put most of the culpability on the parents who do not teach their kids how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and buy their children unhealthy food. I disagree completely that we as Americans suffer from lack of information about nutrition in fast food.
The one and only Chef intends on retirement after 25 plus years. Allowing customers to smoke in the restaurant as well as employees to smoke has also caused customers to leave. In addition to this not enforcing that everyone pays regardless of whom you know has caused the business to lose money. Lack of technology in expanding to online sales, advertisement to reach not just the town people but also other towns, and promotions to get customers in during the less profit hours are things that need to be focused on so the diner will not have to close it’s doors. In the area around the diner are a Sonic, McDonald’s, and Subway that have opened up and made sales a little difficult.
David starts by teasing these overweight individuals that are bring a lawsuit against McDonalds, but then later admits that he used to be overweight as a child and was able to change his life around. He made a point to show health concerns with being obese and eating fast food regularly, such as type two diabetes which has risen about twenty-five percent since 1994. This raise in diabetes also requires much funding for the United States to spend to try to find a cure. David explains how there is very few alternatives for the youth of America because those health alternatives are more expensive and harder to find. False advertising is also another unpleasant practice that fast food companies use to lure in costumers.
Fast food industries, among others, use stroking, a form of positive reinforcement, deliberate praise, and recognition, as a way of “handling” employees and getting them to do exactly what they want. However, additional techniques and strategies are used depending on age and the chain. KFC and Taco Bell are both under the YUM brand company. These fast food chains serve different types of food, but are the tactics different as well? At KFC, a 15-year-old part-time employee somehow manages to work over 40 hours a week.
Having a minimum wage in our country limits the efficiency of businesses, limits the availability of jobs to citizens because of illegal immigrants, and even drives some people out of business. Without a minimum wage, businesses like Wendy’s, MacDonald’s, and Burger King could be more efficient. For example, if one of these fast food chains had a budget of $80 dollars an hour for its workers, and had to pay each one of them $8 because of minimum wage, the restaurant would only get to hire ten workers. But, if the restaurant was allowed
ENGLISH 200 NAME 28, JUNE, 2013 PART 2: Personal Response to "Working at McDonald's" In "Working at McDonald's," Amitai Etzioni, the professor at the George Washington University argues that McDonald is bad for teenagers. The particular concentration of the author lies in the shortcomings of jobs in McDonald for teenagers. In my point of view, I am in agreement with the author’s core idea for two main reasons. At the beginning, the disadvantage exists in the poor attendance and involvement of students who have part-time jobs in McDonald. Logically, after these youngsters earn their own money through working hours and days, they will begin to feel that earning money may directly bring them profits compared with baldness learning which gives
Summary In “Working at McDonald's”, Amitai Etzioni argues that working at fast-food chains such as McDonald's has more disadvantages than advantages for teen-agers. First, Etzioni claims that there is no additional skill for teenagers to learn because these jobs are doing uniformed things every day.

He further argues that working at those franchising stores also takes up teen's time for schools.
Kelly Grant English 100 11/12/2012 In Amitai Etzioni's "Working at McDonald's” She argues that that although McDonalds does more than just provide calorie filled foods and hold responsibility for millions of clogged arteries but it’s bad for teenagers in another sense other than health. She states “McDonald’s is bad for your kids. I do not mean the flat patties and the white-flour buns; I refer to the jobs teenagers undertake, mass-producing these choice items”. Then she goes on to discuss the negative effects on high school students working in fast food restaurants such as McDonalds. She feels that they show teenagers no real skills that they could use elsewhere in the work field, that they promote kids to drop out by distracting them from focusing on school and their studies, and also ruins their value of a dollar.

The other 3.decided to not show up that day and we were very busy. One waitress was slow and could not keep up with her tables so I was asked to also help her.
