Throughput

After reading Schlosser's article it made me realize the motives behind the huge " NOW HIRING" signs that i was drawn to. I didn't exactly work at a fast food restaurant, but i did work at a food service franchise called COLDSTONE'S Creamery. Most of my coworkers including me were around the same age as me. My manager even told us she preferred hiring no experienced workers so that she could sculpt them to her priorities. Needless to say Coldstone's Creamery was my first job. i had coworkers that were homemakers and coworkers that spoke very little English. the ones that spoke very little English rarely worked in the front with us, but they did have what Schlosser referred to as the franchises' version of English.The non speaking English coworkers only spoke the Coldstone's English. I definitely felt offended in being in the category of a low waged worker. although big franchises hunt for us low wage workers, I am still glad that i had an opportunity to work for them as my first job. It provided me with the experience necessary to get other jobs such as the job i have now as a receptionist.
