when we went on our trip to union square i saw some very distinct differences when we went on our trip to union square i saw some very distinct differences between the mcdonalds workers and the street vendor workers. first of all i realized that the mcdonalds was very dull with no color. i noticed a few differences such as that the mcdoalnds workers were all dressed up and kind of happy. When i went to the outdoor market though i saw so many people happy. such as the kind man from the ronnybrook farm. he imports fresh milk from the cows on his own farm. he was very happy with his job saying, " i love nyc and the people here are so friendly and they are very supportive of my company. i produce fresh milk that i bring here about twice a week. plus the women here are beautiful!" the man was very happy to be working where he was. i feel like the beauty of working selling milk or veggies is that you dont have to be liable for a child dying of obesity from lettuce or like a tomatoe. They can feel good a bout what they are selling to the public which gives them a positive outlook.
As for the mcdonalds workers they were just all about the sell and had no sense of humor or wanted to talk to anyone. professionalism was and still is a big thing in mcdonalds. they barely wanted to answer questions and just wanted to get you some food which is all fake. i feel like the street vendors enjoy their job a tons more. I think that the workers at mcdonalds feel like criminals but they are trying to survive too. Working at a fast food place, you already know that you hare hurting people but you do it anyways because it pays the bills. i jus think that the street vendors are happy knowing that their food will serve a good purpose and maintain health while mcdonalds is all processed and it harms our bodies.
The one reason why i think that fast food is so successful is because people like the idea of eating a heavy rough meal for a lunch rater than something that is slowly cooked and prepared special. We like the idea of food on the go, and whay better way to do that then when you have a nice burger in your hand and a soda in the other. food companies made it so that they will build their companies in busy hectic areas because those are the areas that produce a ton of business and this is why fast food companie succeed. I think it also has to do with advertisements and jus all the money invested in a company. Also with all the options of fast food, it could never be eliminated from the world.
i normally visit the unhealthy place. i feel like i dont get judged when i walk into a mcdonalds but if i were to go to a store that sold only fruits and veggies and i walk out with a little bag of lettuce n onions, i would totally be stared at. It has something to do with the previous images that you portray. If those images change and you decide to be different, then you get judged. I think another reason i go to a mcdonalds because i always kno what i am getting. processed labratory meat and fries and i love it. i find it more appealing that if you are going to pay for food, you should get the item with the most calories and the cheapest price. it is inevitable to not run into a fast food places around us.
