Every Man for Himself

I was incredibly shocked while reading about the robberies that occur in the fast food industry. Firstly, I didn't realize that robbing a McDonalds was something that happened pretty frequently. It's interesting that fast food restaurants are more apt to be robbed than a convenience store, gas station and even banks. Also, that many deaths have occurred as a result is even more unfathomable to me. I know that fast food is unhealthy and detrimental to a person's well being, but the fast food industry has negative moral and mental effects on people too. It was a huge shock to me when Schlosser revealed that the robbers were either ex-employees, current employees or a current shift and even managers. You would think employees would sympathize and relate to one another, not put their peers at further risk. It makes the job easier; being familiar with the location, possibly having the trust of the on-staff workers and having the accessibility. But many of us could do the same thing at our own jobs or somewhere that we know well, but that goes against our morals and it's not the right thing to do. It makes you realize how bad of a situation that these employees are in. I haven't found one thing that is truly good about the fast food industry so far... The only gains are the size of people's waistlines.
