Question

Which of the following excerpts from Fast Food Nation best provides evidence that fast food restaurants are designed for using unskilled labor?

Her family’s modest townhouse sits beside a busy highway on the south side of Colorado Springs, in a largely poor and working-class neighborhood.
The ovens at Pizza Hut and at Domino’s also use conveyor belts to ensure standardized cooking times.
The restaurant opens for business at seven o’clock, and for the next hour or so, Elisa and the manager hold down the fort, handling all the orders.
Throughput is all about increasing the speed of assembly, about doing things faster in order to make more.

Answer 1

"The ovens at Pizza Hut and at Domino’s also use conveyor belts to ensure standardized cooking times."

Explanation: conveyor-belt ovens and standardized procedures remove the need for cooking skill and judgment, which shows restaurants are designed to make tasks simple and repeatable for unskilled workers. The other excerpts describe setting, staffing, or emphasis on speed but do not as directly show how work is mechanized and standardized.
