Chic Fil A is one of the largest chain restaurants in the united states. Yet it seems to have no marketing when compared to its competitors. Often you can hear McDonald's jingles on the radio and see a new commercial on television for a new burger from Burger king, yet the same cannot be said for Chick Fil A where sometimes their advertisements seem uncommon if not non existent. How come a company that went from sales of 1 billion dollars in 2000 to 6 billion in 2015, seem to have barely any marketing?…

In the twenty-first century we have become ingrained in a culture through which McDonaldized systems (through rules, regulations and scripts), have ultimately come to threaten the ability of those involved to think intelligently (Ritzer, 1998). It is clearly dehumanizing to find oneself mindlessly functioning like a robot within corporately structured systems.

McDonaldization of the food industry and the lack of control a person has over what is in the food they eat has created a runaway juggernaut.…

During my time in high school, I have realized what I am truly passionate about. When I’m not at school or working at Chick-fil-A, my time is almost entirely devoted to band.
