The fast food industry, an industry full of suprises. This industry hides many secrets in their coolers and kitchens, these secrets are horrific and shocking. These restraunts break laws and bend rules just to make more money or hire a new employee. One of the most shocking truths about the fast food business, the enployee turn-over rate and timescale. many employees do not stay long at fas fod restraunants, "The annual turnover rate in the fast food industry is now about 300 to 400 percent" an astounding number that shows what the fast food industry thinks about its workers. These workers are almost always teenagers that make low pay for working high amounts of hours. This does not encourage workers to stay, " The typical fast food worker quits or is fired after only three to four months" a number that reflects the businesses concern over the long-term needs of its employees. Other shocking facts still remain such as the pay given to these teenage workers. MAny of these workers make only minimum wage these restraunts believe "they [can] afford to to work for wages too low to support an adult" this is why they target the teenage group for cheap work. Teenagers are willing to work the long hour and deal with the unfair pay. " The fast food chains often reward managers for keeping their labor costs low" paying employees only what they have to, sometimes even less.
