Question

unlike olympic gymnastics - an activity in which teenagers consistently perform at a higher level than adults - theres nothing about the work in a fast food kitchen that requires young employees. instead of relying upon a small, stable, well - paid, and well - trained workforce, the fast food industry seeks out part - time, unskilled workers who are willing to accept low pay. teenagers have been the perfect candidates for these jobs, not only because they are less expensive to hire than adults, but also because their youthful inexperience makes them easier to control.
