Working in the fast food restaurant

Most the workers of fast food restaurant are young in America. Some of them are immigrants. Since assembly line made work easier and less skill, workers only can get the minimum wage. I have a friend who worked in Dounkin Donuts. He is a Chinese. When he just came here, he couldn’t find a job because he was a full time college student. Finally, he found a job in 24 hours Dounkin Donuts store. He worked every day after class. Sometimes he worked a whole night and came school directly from work. Even he worked so hard, he still couldn’t support himself. Now he quit from school and Dounkin Donuts. He told me that he wanted to get rid of this kind of live. He found another job in a Chinese restaurant. Even though he still works in a restaurant, his salary is two times than the salary in Dounkin Donuts. He wants to save some money and go to college again.

The situation of working in the fast food restaurant is different in China. In china, the workers are required at least a high school diploma. People think working in the fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s, is learning the new technology and management skills from foreign countries. I remember, in my hometown, there was a pizza restaurant designed in European style. The whole restaurant looks elegant. People use knives and forks to eat pizza. The prices are expansive; the low income people couldn’t offer it. In America, the major customers of fast food are low income people. I never saw anyone eat fast food with knives and forks. The conditions of workers' are also terrible.
