becoming an increasingly important problem in America, the need to understand fast food culture and its effects has become more relevant more than ever. The restaurant I chose is Chick-fil-A, an American fast food chain that concentrate in chicken sandwiches and other chicken based products. For my ethnography project I visited my Chick-fil-A restaurant inside of my local mall – one of the most popular restaurants in the food court – and sat down for 2 hours observing the customers, taking note…
Why I chose this article? Growing up I had always wondered why children are so picky when they are at a younger age. Having served in a restaurant for over three years now, I would always come across the children who only get chicken nuggets and french-fries – which is a high majority of them. It always crosses my mind of “Why are children so picky all of the time?” There are the occasional kids who come through and order some of the strangest things -one time I had a parent and two twin girls…
This might seem shocking, but I promise it is true. I know it is true because it happened to me. I’m Danny I remember this like it was yesterday. It was frightening and terrifying. I was at Walmart getting chicken nuggets for my sister Jane. I was 17 when this happened. I got a call from Darren to meet him at this house. Darren was my buddy since 1st grade. When I arrived, he was with Joyce and Natasha. The girl I admired. We were at this looking house. It was covered with moss and…

However, when asked by our…

wanted Chicken Strips. “We no longer have Chicken Strips, we either have Chicken Fries or Chicken Nuggets?” I politely said. This old lady didn't like that answer and gave me hateful look like it was my fault that we don't have them anymore. I didn't know what to do so called my manger up to deal with the situation at hand. She gave me and my manager a very stern look and my managers asks “is there a problem?” She responds in a fish with “Yes, your employee here doesn't want to sell me Chicken…
During my infancy my parents have said that at the beginning I had switched day and night. During the day I would be asleep for the most part and at night I would be awake and crying all the time. The way that my dad stopped that was he took off my diaper and hit my butt twice, after that I pretty much slept all night. My mother was the one who took care of me the most. She said that my temperament was easy because while she napped I would always stay quiet while playing and only woke her up…

The middle class refrigerator has some milk, cheese, eggs, condiments, and some fruit, but the lower class refrigerator is overflown with frozen TV…
school to be. I feel lost in such a large crowd of a large school with large classes, I would really like a smaller environment. I don’t think this school is helping me academically. The lunch tastes really bad. The only good thing there are the chicken nuggets but you have to look at them before eating since some are raw and cold. The air conditioning never works. It’s always so hot. Whenever you are in pain, they just give you a bag of ice to act as the solution. There is no school nurse to…
