Teens And Teenagers

It is often said that the less teengers in the reastaurant, the better the sales of the business; however, teens are also customers, they bring their friends with them and without teens in the restaurant, overtime Mr. Jones will shut down his business. Mr. Jones is making wrong assumptions about the teenagers in his restaurant. According to the student blog, “ All the noises came from annoying business people. This shows that teenagers are not the only ones being loud. The Muchy’s promise of a “quiet lunch” is not possible because the restaurant is still going to be loud. Teenagers are the ones who attract the

In modern-day society, there are numerous people who take pleasure in separating themselves from the typical standards of society; however, there are also people who feel uncomfortable expressing themselves in the own, distinctive ways. Because they feel this way, many adolescents believe that by camouflaging themselves into their peer’s behaviors and beliefs that they will fit in with social norm, accepted beliefs and behaviors in a social group or society, and the reason why they have this mentality, is because of the lack of confidence to express their ideas in their own unique ways. The belief that students and kids have to live up to social norms, are implemented on them by social influences, more specifically, their peers.

During the 1950s, teenagers were starting to create their own identity. Compared to how teenagers acted in previous generations, teenagers in these years were different. Teenagers in this time period gained freedom and independent. Teenagers were able to have fun during these years. They also rebelled against being conservative and conforming into what the adult society wants them to act. Their beliefs and attitudes were distinct from what their parents thought. Teenagers had different groups that they belonged to. Hipsters, rockers, beatniks, squares and teeny-boppers were the five diverse groups of fifties teenagers. Also, they did not follow what their parents like. The way they talked, music and fashion evolved and became a part of the youth culture. Rock and roll became a great influence in a teenager’s life. Many parents did not approve of this music as they described it as revolting, vulgar and thought it was influencing their child in a terrible way. This created a generation gap between parents and the teenagers. The teenagers were starting to mark, able to express who they are, which had many

Someone working at a fast-food restaurant is bound to face torment either by their peers, and have the social stain of being viewed as poor or dirty. In a personal interview with another fast food worker, Whitney said, “…a lot of them [fast food workers] do tend to have that lower class background. Also, whenever you find adults working in the fast food industry, it generally means they lack an education.” A lot of younger adolescents will take jobs at fast food restaurants because very few places will hire kids when they first get their legal working papers, but fast food restaurants tend to flood their restaurant with these juvenile employees.

People that don’t always have the luxury of eating out could just buy a kids’ meal. Just as important, they are often a fixed price, so you never have to eliminate a menu option because it is too expensive. On the other hand, restaurateurs make kids’ meals cheap in order to “bring in the entire family,” and their business may suffer if everyone ordered them. Kendall Goodrich, a marketing professor, says that “if everyone ordered off this kids menu, then they wouldn’t make any money” (Wallace). But Alex Van Buren, a chef, adds that “the price point is right for a small appetite, and they’re less likely to screw up a hot dog” (Paley). If restaurant owners opened up the chance for adults to order off the kids’ menu, they would be apt to bring in more customers, and in the long run, bring in more

The availability of fast food has become an easy access to the youth of America, due to an increase in fast food marketing and restaurants being built on nearly every street corner. In David Barboza’s article, If You Pitch It, They Will Eat, he explains that

Imagine being a teen and walking into Munchy's and they see a sign saying that “teens are not allowed from noon to 3pm. Teenagers should be allowed to eat where they want. This issue affects all the teens who like to eat at Munchy’s, but are banned. Even though adults need silence, Munchy’s should not ban teens because adults are just as noisy, Munchy’s won’t get as much money and adult’s/parents will get angry because they won’t allow their teens.

Freedom, independence, and opportunities; all these words come to mind when thinking about growing up, but there is no escaping a first job. Nowadays most of teens can be seen behind the counters of fast food places, but why has this become so popular? Through an appeal to ethos and pathos, Schlosser illustrates how the fast food industry utilizes the inexperience and emotions of America’s youth for personal gain and control.

In 1986 when the two oldest sons of Jerry and Janie Murrell decided not to attend college, they made a decision that ultimately changed their family’s lives forever. As supportive parents, the Murrell’s used the money intended for their tuition to open a hamburger take-out shop in Arlington, Virginia to keep the boys close to home and employed (Boone and Kurtz, 2012, p. 78). The restaurant was named Five Guys and a Burger, after their family of five sons. With hard work and dedication, Five Guys has flourished to over six hundred franchises in America and Canada, and has persistently multiplied despite the recent

All things considered, business owners should have the right to ban teenagers. When teenagers disrupt the public this drives adults to come during different months when they are not usually present. Teens do not contribute as much as adults do and losing adult patrons will most likely mean the end for Munchy’s. Using this marketing strategy in the long run will improve revenue for the business because they are giving adults the time to eat in a teen-free zone. Enforcing this regulation will also encourage more adults to return to the restaurant and help Munchy’s

The fast food industry both feeds and prays off the young. Pioneers in developing marketing strategies to target children, the fast-food chains have even infiltrated the nation's schools through lunchroom franchises and special advertising packages that answer public education's need for funds; in every way possible, giving the children a loyal friend to rely on. In many franchises, teenagers are perfect candidates for low-paying, low-skilled, short-term jobs and constitute a large part of the fast-food chains' workforce; and often practically run individual locations, having more responsibility than most adults.

In reference to the argument above we intend to further justify why Hooters should not place a ban on admitting children after 9 P.M. Our three key arguments will help solidify the reasoning for this and it is important because it comes down to a decision that families should be making even though with this issue it deals with decisions that businesses could be making. Our first argument is that it is not up to the restaurant, but the family that goes to the restaurant as to whether or not they should bring their kids. Our second argument is that the restaurant has a mission to profit and not limit who gets served no matter the time. Lastly, our third argument is that we disagree with the ban because Hooters advertises themselves as a

Most teenagers would want to find a place to have a meal to eat than school. Munchy’s is a popular lunch spot for students. Stores can face hardship, if they lose amount of customers. In source #4, “ A Smart Idea Can Save a Business” paragraph #1 it states “ We are witnessing the hardship that many local stores..”. Business can lose money, if they ban teenagers from their restaurants.

Many Fast food companies target children because they are young and are good at persuading their parents to get what they want. “It’s not just getting kids to whine” (Schlosser 43). Fast food companies target kids based on what they are looking for which is money. “The decade of the child consumer” (Schlosser 43). Americans need to pay close attention to how their children spend their money. As more kids visit fast food restaurants, companies will come out with more items for kids to purchase as time goes along. More companies in America will keep targeting kids because they see an advantage in it that the reader does not see. “We see this as a great opportunity” (Scholosser 48). In the meantime, an employee at a fast food restaurant will sell fast food items to kids because they want their money in order to increase the business. As more fast food companies make sales, this will create a dynamic bond between parents and their children because the reader ponders how the fast food industry is affecting their children. As more kids leave after school to go and have something to eat with friends at a Taco Bell, or Pizza Hut, kids will buy food based on what they may be craving during lunchtime. “Research has shown children are more likely to choose foods with familiar logos” (Heyes). At some point in time, there will be millions of parents who will talk to their kids about their active interest in visiting fast food restaurants after school all of the time. The reader may

Working in a daycare, I see kids, of all kinds, limiting themselves on a daily basis. Whether it be the boy who wants to play dolls, or the girl who wants to play dinosaurs, kids all over the country are restricting their personalities and their imaginations because of what it expected of them.
