a fast food establishment of your choice
Be sure to plan a visit to a fast food establishment of your choice today (if you end up being unable to, try to think back to a recent visit or make something up)
Today put on your sociological thinking cap and venture into a fast food establishment of your choice. Avoid the drive-thru, take a seat inside, and observe service
sector work. Using Newman′s analysis and Etzioni′s critique for guidance, make note of the following: Location--Suburban or Urban Time and Date of Your Visit Age Range
of Employees Race/Ethnicity of Employees Interaction Between Customers and Employees Is a Hierarchy of Workers Observable Or any additional observations that you find
relevant Compose a short (2-3 Paragraph) Sociological Discussion Board Post about your Observations. How do your observations compare to Newman′s findings on low-wage
work in Harlem? Do your observations of Fast Food establishments in the San Francisco Bay Area fit well with Newman or Etzioni′s analysis? Keep in mind that both
authors wrote a number of years ago. How might time or the current economic state shape your observations...? Should Etzioni or Newman revise their arguments based
upon your findings...?
