Hw 3-Food-Fast Food Insights and Green Market Realizations.

    I believe that the whole reason on why the business of "Fast Food" is so successful is because of the constant aspect of convenience that these businesses maintain remarkably well. To be specific, when my class went into Mc Donald's I noticed there was a sense of convenience almost everywhere I looked. For example inside of this Mc Donald's there were multiple people ready to take your order, on the menu there were orders already created for you to order even faster, and there was even a little counter place to the side  where you could conveniently grab napkins and any condiment or seasoning you like. Maybe to even add on to some further reasoning I could mention the cost of the food in general, it's ridiculously cheap, that could even be seen as another connivence aspect to some people. It's reasons like this that strike me for being some of the contributing factors to why the businesses of fast food are so successful.

    When I come to think of differences and similarities between a Fast Food restaurant and a Greenmarket I can think of about maybe two very bland similarities and about a ton of differences. These similarities are in fact very simple, I said that both of these places of business sell and both of these places create there food their own type of way. Some differences between these two places are their prices, the quality of their food, the way they prepare their food, and customer service as well. The difference of price is a simple one, fast food compared to a Green Market is very cheap, while you are paying more in the green market your are paying for a better quality of food in general. The quality of the food in the Green Market is in fact much better then the quality of a Fast Food restaurant because the things being sold at the Market are things actually being grown on farms and taken care of and then brought directly to the market to be sold fresh. On the other hand the fast food restaurants freeze and fry their food and create fatty salty unhealthy foods from food that isn't directly from farms. Another big difference between these two opposites is the customer service, usually in a Fast Food restaurant you will get the occasional nice person every now and then but not usually,usually you will get a very direct person who wants your order, the cash, and the next person in line, repeat, in a way these people are almost like robots. But at the Green Markets you will usually always get a very nice person whom interested in the food and interested in selling it to you and making a nice friendly conversation out of it. From personal experience I have encountered both of these different types of interactions with salesmen at Fast Food restaurants and Green Markets close to my home.
