Most people have gone to a restaurant and have gotten distracted by loud, messy teenagers. However, Munchy’s has decided in order to save their business, action needed to take place. This restaurant has had a smart idea- to ban teenagers from noon to 3pm, in hopes that the teenagers will stop driving away the business adults. Businesses should have the right to ban teenagers. Businesses should have the right to ban teenagers because they’re causing a decrease in profits during school months. Upon the realization that the profit from the wealthier, faithful customers (mostly business people) was declining, it was discovered that customers “were staying away from Munchy’s due to the havoc high school students cause everyday at lunchtime” (Source …show more content…
On Munchy’s newspaper ad he asks, “Are you tired of eating lunch surrounded by noisy high school students?” (source one: newspaper ad, lines 1-2). These students are so noisy that as a last resort, Munchy’s felt that they needed to have a “quiet lunch” time- when teenagers are banned. Also, the nosiness of these students are driving away customers. Even while they’re causing adults to stop coming, the teenagers aren’t spending enough money to make up for it. In July, Munchy’s total monthly sales was roughly $32,000; while the total sales for October was roughly $17,000. Even with the huge decrease, the adults are spending more than the teenagers (source two:business analysis, bar graph). Munchy promises that adults will have the midday break they deserve because he’s banning teenagers. He says, “aren’t you fed up with the endless cell phone conversations, loud music, messy tables?” (source one: newspaper ad, lines 3-4). The mess that teenagers leave along with the distraction they are to business adults caused the drop of the amount of adults that go to Munchy’s. In July, 80% of Munchy’s patrons were adults. However, in October the amount of adults dropped to only 27% of the total patrons (source 2: business analysis, pie graph). Once the amount of teenagers that were going to Munchy’s increased, the amount of adults
This company focuses on quality and customer satisfaction. Their need to achieve goals beyond their measures is consistently shown in every aspect of the complex. They are also trying different ways to satisfy each age group. First of all, if you’re under 21 you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian that’s 25 or older. After 10:00 p.m. no one under 21 is allowed in. This is an advantage as well as a disadvantage for this company. The advantage is that they can draw in a certain type of crowd after 10:00 p.m., then the facility pr...
To start off the book, the Poppendieck writes about her experience working in a school cafeteria for a week. She explains the daily routine of a school food service worker, which includes thawing and heating the frozen food that will be served that day, serving the food, running the a la carte line, and recording all of the lunches into three categories: full price, reduced price, and free. The picture she paints of school lunches is one of reheated fast foods, and lunches are governed by lots of regulations and nutrition requirements. These regulations are important, because if the food doesn’t meet certain stipulations, the school will not get reimbursed by the federal government. Additionally, if they do not record correctly how many paid, reduced price, or free lunches they sell, they also lose funding.... ...
He states that “But where, exactly, are consumers—particularly teenagers—supposed to find alternatives? Drive down any thoroughfare in America, and I guarantee you’ll see one of our country’s more than 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants. Now, drive back up the block and try to find someplace to buy a grapefruit” (Zinczenko, 242). One cannot argue that there is an infinite amount of McDonalds at our exposal. However, to state that it is exponentially easier to find fast food than a grapefruit is a bit far-fetched. There are numerous grocery stores at our exposal that anyone can drive to and buy a grapefruit close to as easily as they could go and get fast
“Shouldn’t we know better than to eat two meals a day in fast-food restaurants?... but where exactly are consumers particularly teenagers supposed to find alternatives… drive down any thoroughfare in America, and I guarantee you will see more than 13,000 McDonald’s… now drive back up the block and try to find someplace to buy a grapefruit” (463). The information Zinczenko has stated is very valid. There are not many healthy options to choose from when you are wanting a quick meal. American’s can not be blamed for being fat or obese when we have no healthy options instead, we just have 13,000 McDonald’s to choose from. Zinzenko is informing that obese people can not be blamed for being fat when we have a lack of healthy fast food restaurants to choose
Bob Marley once said, “Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.” This is the case when it comes to teens and alcohol. In America, the National Minimum Legal Drinking Age is a topic of great debate and controversy. Many people argue that the age restriction provides a safe environment for all citizens; whereas others disagree that the law creates an untrustworthy aura among teens. If the minimum legal drinking age were to be lowered, most people would be affected by it, whether it be by an increase in drunk-driving or a rise in crimes. Although teens are legally considered adults by the age of eighteen and the minimum legal drinking age prompts underage teens to exhibit risky behavior, the age restriction should not be lowered from twenty-one to eighteen because young teens would have easier access to alcohol, the minimum legal drinking age has decreased alcohol-related problems, and alcohol can cause damage to underage drinkers.
Nowadays, the practice of alcohol without permission in teenager is increasing especially among the age of 18-21 years old. Allowing teenagers drink when they are eighteen years old instead of twenty- one is the issue that was considered by the parents, adult, and the government. Most of them are worried that not letting teens drink may lead to the worse situations such as using drugs and other dopes. Some others said that letting teens drinking will reduce the amount of illegal drinking. For example, in my neighborhood, the young people often gather a crowd together to talk and drink when they have a free time or celebrating when they have a good news. In addition, one of them couldn’t control themselves and led
The purpose of having an MLDA is to prevent underage consumption of alcohol, but the current age has been proven to have little effect on the matter. Teenagers have many ways of obtaining alcoholic beverages such as using fake identification cards and getting an older friend or family member to buy it for them. The methods used to purchase alcohol have been successful; teenagers account for twenty-two and a half billion dollars of consumer spending for alcohol in the United States.” ("Should the Drinking Age Be Lowered from 21 to a Younger Age?"). The thrill of breaking the law and being defiant is thrilling to young adults, so raising the age or restricting them from a right they should have is not helping the problem of underage drinking, but encouraging it. While it can be said that the legal age is twenty-one and it prohibits teenagers from purchasing and consuming alcohol publicly, it remains a fact that the teenagers do...
As shown above, curfew laws can play a very critical role in a teenager’s life. It can assist with keeping the city safer, help them get enough sleep, and help them build their personal skill under a well-structured system routine. A lot of people might find curfew laws for teenagers unconstitutional and contradict the first amendment, so they decide not to abide with it. But by doing so, they are placing more a bigger experience to teenagers who are still working on developing their skills to take on new challenges. After all, Teenagers are the future of our society if we don’t teach, coach, direct, and offer guidance their future will be unstable and unproductive and that will affect the entire nation.
It may seem unfair to many observers to allow 18-20 year olds to marry, to have children, to own cars, homes, pay taxes, vote, fly planes, risk their lives in the armed forces, own firearms and to be financially and socially independent, and yet to be legally prohibited from drinking a glass of wine in a restaurant, or even a glass of champagne at their own wedding. I think it is a problem to have a limit higher than the age of maturity. B. Teenagers look at drinks as glamorous. It is viewed as an adult activity and teenagers want to be adults ASAP. In order to get a drink, teenagers carry fake I.D. , creating more trouble, or sneaking drinks from their parents' liquor cabinet.
At a housekeeping job, Ehrenreich works with Carlie, and Ehrenreich thinks that the bag of hot dog buns that Carlie carries around is something she finds in one of the rooms while cleaning. Ehrenreich later discovers it is, “not trash salvaged from a checkout” (44), but it is Carlie’s lunch for the day. Ehrenreich displays how the reality of low working class can be unimaginable, based on Carlie’s lunch of hot dog buns. Working at The Maids, Ehrenreich often experiences similar situations. Ehrenreich notes, “we grab lunch - Doritos for Rosalie” (80). Rosalie does not have an actual lunch, she could only afford a bag of doritos. What she didn’t eat that day of the Doritos will be her lunch for the next day. Ehrenreich creates sympathy for Rosalie, because she spreads out one small bag of doritos for her lunch for two days. The same day, Ehrenreich encounters young women whose “lunch consists of a “pizza pocket”” (78). The pizza pocket was not an actual pizza, it was dough with some tomato sauce on it. It’s devastating that people who are putting in hard back breaking work do not have enough to eat. Ehrenreich would not consider Doritos or “pizza pocket” as her lunch, but as a snack during a break. Other than food expenses, employees have to think about health
While underage drinking is a legitimate problem, it should be mainly the responsibility of the parents to decide whether their child should drink. But if allowed, it should be in a closely supervised place. Teen drinking remains problematic with one-third of American youth consuming alcohol on a regular basis since the government outlawed the consumption of alcohol by anyone underage twenty-one on 1984. Some regulators say that making the federal minimum drinking age twenty-one has made alcohol a “forbidden fruit...
Dr. Whelan’s arguments appeared fitting for many people to some degree exclusively for young people who are in urge to be able to drink. There are thousands of young responsible teenagers who know the consequences of drinking without moderation and chose not to drink until they reach 21 and feel perfectly fine. In the other hand, Dr. Whelan’s daughter, Christine, says that her friends and her feel excluded from the rest of the 21- year old adults who can have a drink at a bar. Despite the fact that Christine and her friends are able perform any task a 21- year old does. They cannot enjoy a drink because they are 18 years old. However, it should not be about how teenagers feel about not being able to have a drink legally, but instead to know what is right for young teenagers. For this ...
The teens live in an environment where drinking alcohol is the same as drinking water. They are allowed to drink as much as they would like, as long as they do not embarrass their parents. Many of the teens get drunk for the first time in the eighth grade. That is seven years before they legally should even have their first sip. “Rufus kept the beer flowing out of keg in the bathtub, getting many drunk for the first time” (Ziegesar). Also many of them come into school with horrible hangovers. This shows that these kids are way too young to be getting drunk, because they do not know how to handle themselves properly. Coming to school with a hangover can affect how they learn and keep them from getting the best education possible. This also illustrates how drinking seems so much fun for the kids, but it conveniently leaves out the consequences of this action. Furthermore, irresponsible teens do not think ahead for their future. They do not consider the health risks involved, such as alcoholism and liver
Young people grow up seeing their parents and other adults make toast of wine and champagne at special occasions, as well as casually enjoying a few beers at a picnic. Today alcoholic beverages are frequently as common at business lunches as they are at college frat parties. Underage drinking is a huge problem which everyone must face. Underage drinking not only has devastating effects on those who drink but also on our society. "Young people illegally consume almost 3.6 billion drinks annually which is 10 million drinks each day."
A false sense of security exists as one of the disadvantages of teenage curfews. Parents assume that when they force their children home at a certain time, they will not participate in anything immoral, but that is not always true. The Aspen Education Group states, “While a teenager staying out late can cause issues, it’s important not to use a curfew as a general answer to these possible problems” (Hatter 1). In realization, if teenagers obtain the desire to involve themselves in corrupt acts, they will find a way to do so no matter the time. Teenagers would feel more pressured to sneak out if their friends were participating in something that they could not be a part of due to their curfew. If parents rely on curfews to protect their children from negative activities, they will eventually notice teenagers contain their own willpower (Hatter 1).
