"Throughput"

Schlosser's essay made me realize that teens working in the fast food industry are basically being controlled like robots by the restaurant itself. I mean every job has its set of rules and regulations but I think fast food has made it so easy that the employee just has to follow the step by step procedure without ever using their brain, which is one of the main reasons why I could never work at a fast food restaurant. Number one, I couldn’t stand having one job and having to do it repeatedly throughout the day, and number two, I hate fast food; it’s a sorry excuse for a meal if you ask me.
