    Auto-Mart should implement a do-it-for-me business emphasis since most customers would not have the expertise to repair their own cars. However, by adopting the do-it-yourself business approach, the company would focus on supplying retail auto parts to consumers who use their own means to fix their cars. This strategy may mean that if customers do not possess the knowledge and skills to repair their cars, then they would have to incur an extra expense to fix the problem. Moreover, as the company is a newbie, it may not have the budget to establish a do-it-for-yourself workshop that teaches customers how to repair their automobiles, therefore doing it for the client would be more apt.…

    Managers see People as robots. At first, one can argue that these unskilled entry level jobs are easy, but after working at one, it changed my attitude towards life. It was not so much the busy environment or physical labor that was particularly hard; it was the mental and emotional stress that affected me as an individual. The relationships of managers towards the employees, thus no matter how hard people are working, created very hesitant working environment. With having to do twenty things at a time, it is very mentally draining. Since one of the main priorities was to save labor and not to cut into the profits, people were required to do multiple positions at a time. I remember how insane it was to be an order taker and cashier at the same time during the dinner rush. Besides dealing with costumers, trying to hear what people are ordering through the intercom, and ringing up the order, I had to follow the standard guidelines of greeting, confirming the order, asking for drinks, and saying “Please pull to the window”. While at the same time, I had to greet the customer at the window, say the total, collect the money, ask for sauce, check the items in the bag, tell the customer what’s in the bag, and then “please come again”. After such experience, I do not know how anyone would not attend school to obtain at least some education. Therefore, working there drained all the energy out of me and made me very moody and sensitive because I was always tired. At the end of every shift, I just wanted to come home and hide in the closet while crying myself to sleep because of mental exhaustion. My experience, as a former Taco Bell employee, is a perfect example of capitalism and how it alienates people from the product, self, process and the…

    The employees must be able to politely interact with any types of customer -whether they be rude, angry, or impatient- and serve them. Due to the low-cost, high-profit attitude of the fast food corporations, employees are not given what they deserve, whether that is money, a new position, or benefits: "The industrialization of the restaurant kitchen has enabled the fast food chains to rely upon a low paid and unskilled workforce. While a handful of workers managed to rise up the corporate ladder, the vast majority lack full-time employment, receive no benefits, learn few skills, exercise little control over their workplace, quit after a few months, and float from job to job," (Schlosser 14). As consumers, we should choose to eat a restaurants that pay their workers reasonable wages, as well as offer opportunities to promote and receive benefits. The workers are the base of a company and should receive and earn what they bring in for the company.the fast food industry must rethink how they treat their workers regarding wages, promotions, and…

    The four characteristics of McDonaldization are: Efficiency, Calculability, Predictability, and Control. Efficiency is the key characteristic as it will determine the profit margin. Increased profits are gained by lowering costs. And the labor of workers are the chief cost to a company. To maintain efficiency in this manner, many companies deskill jobs. The product being a low-wage position that can be filled by anyone. Obviously, McDonaldization creates the “working poor” singlehandedly in only one…

    If you go around to most people and ask for their opinion of fast food work, most will tell you that it isn’t a real job. The general idea is that fast food jobs are meant for teenagers looking for spending money. Sometimes this is true, but after reading “Next Time Someone Says Fast Food Isn’t A Real Job, Remember This.” by Emily Cohn, I quickly realized that is frequently not the case. I chose this article because I have worked in the fast food industry for over a year and seen a variety of age groups working.…
