Fast Food!

I think this essay about throughput interwoven with the teenage workforce was quite appealing. I felt pity through the way the author conveys poor Liza and her supposed endeavor to become like an adult. This is where I shift my stance just ever so slightly, because if she was doing this to become like her adult counterparts and gain the work experience there should be absolutely no sympathy or pity for this girl. This may sound harsh but it is in reality not a dreamworld in which she made this conscious decision to do this. I do not feel bad about this particular subject of Liza because she was conscious. This can be tranferred to a greater extent as well. For example, many teenagers have the same excuse, that is right the same excuse. I'm not saying the majority of teens behave this way, I'm not saying a select few act this way. I am saying that a good enough amount teens are aware of this yet they still go. They may have it in their minds that they are exploiting the fast food companies because they feel like they are achieving essential skills and so much more while in fact they are being exploited for economic gain. In this sense, both are using each other and since this is the case I will say that "most" teens are ignorant so they deserve to be exploited.

However, I can take a strong stance saying that the handicapped and immigrants are exploited. This is different from teenagers because unlike teenagers these handicapped and immigrants are living on thier own, supporting a family, and paying for other essentials to survival. Whereas, teenagers commonly need extra pocket money for their own self-indulgence and have no priorties for survival compared with the handicapped and immigrants.

It's obvious that fast food companies exploit their workers, meaning that the fast food corporations take the greatest possible advantage, mostly economically. The key word being exploit, the workers exploit the company by having thier own notions of gaining a so-called experience and the company exploits them. The logic behind this is cunning and sly and no one ends up winning because in the end everyone gets exploited.
