Response to Chapter 1 Fast Food Nation

Chapter 1 in Fast Food Nation was different than the introduction. The chapter actually went into stating things about fast food then about a mountain that almost half the class didn't even care about.  The chapter caught my attention when it was talking about how they had witresses dress up in different outfits and serve the food to the cars instead of the people going in to eat. That reminded me when i worked at one restaurant and we had to dress up if it was halloween, valentines etc. also standing up taking orders and serving food almost everyday for crazy hours in the day/night. Then it went on about how these other men came about in making the fast food places we know now so big and popular, with the hiring of male workers which in my opinion is wrong because i see some places like that still like around my area in Queens the Mexican Grill Qdoba is all male staff. Then how they went on from being a cart to a drive through to a big restaurant with flashy signs bright colors having machines to do the work and a person with no skills to just be there to serve the food or dress it up with ketchup letttuce pickles onioins anything else that goes on a burger. This chapter was really interesting to read and I don't mind reading it now to the end.
