Fast Food Industry, Employees and Explotation

The fast food industry exploits workers especially teens. They often take advantage of their workers by making them work extra shifts for the same minimun wage. They do not get any benefits and that job does not really help them advance. Like Schlosser said in his essay it just teaches the basic skills-such as getting to work on time. Sometimes those workers do not have any other options to turn to. They might have little or no education and need to make some money. For example, I know many people that work at Fast Food Restaurants and they struggle so much. I know this lady that works at Mcdonalds and needs this job because she's an immigrant that just came here to USA and speaks hardly no english. She needs this job to help her husband support her kids. She really doesnt have any other option, and this puts alot of pressure on people like her, that desperately need jobs to mainatina a stable life. I also have my friend that works at Mcdonalds and she needs this job to pay for college. Sometimes thye make her state later than the hours she is supposed to work and I think that it is not right. The Indusrty should respect employees by making them work only the hours they are supposed to work and not take advantage of them.The food industry always tries to find what is best for their own interest. They try to find the cheapest labor there is. I agree with Schlosser when he says that, "Teenagers have been the perfect candidates for these jobs, not only because they are less expensive to hire than adults, but also because their youthful inexperience makes them easier to control. Take my friend for example she works for min wage and she is under their control because she actually stays out and does extra work to benefit their company. The food
industryy needs to change their system because cheap labor doesnt always mean best production. Their employees have a necessity to have that job (Do you think people actually want to work there?...I don't think so in my point of view). But even though I know that the Fast food Industrys exploit workers, sometimes I cant help but pull in through the drive thru and order something because Im always ina rush and there is no time to cook. I do not go that often, because I watch out for what I eat, but sometimes when i'm in a hurry it's something that I do, but I try not to go often only when I really need to.
