Growing up my mom always tried to get me to get a job at a fast food place to make a few extra bucks. But I always told her no and that I couldn't deal with the people always coming in complaining about the little things when they chose to get "fast" food. In reality though I guess that wasn't the main reason, I guess the reason I never got a job at a place like this was because of the low income. I always thought why work in a place for 5 hours to make 28 dollars(taking out some sort of taxes), when I can mow someones yard and make that. It also seemed impossible to get a job at a fast food place when trying to go to school and play sports, when would I work?
But on the other hand, now a days its hard to even get a job unless it is a chain store or fast food restaurant. To get a good paying job, with good job security, and benefits you have to go to college and if that don't work too the military. As Schlosser said these chain stores and fast food places being targeted to teens. He was right, but I think that is even more true now. I can see more teens trying to get these jobs now to even be able to do anything. With gas prices up, grocery prices up, and many parents even having trouble keeping jobs, teens are going to have to get these jobs to pay for gas and their insurance to help the family out. At least I hope so!!!
