| Fast food chains (连锁), American-style, are now on the increase all over the world. Most of these places work on a similar principle. There is a long counter (柜台), above which hangs a list (often with pictures) of the items they sell, and behind which several people (often students working for the lowest wage) are working. Buyers form queues in front of each assistant. You receive what you order and take it on a tray to a table. If you can't see any knives and forks, this means you are supposed to eat with your hands. If you can't see any straws (吸管), that's because they are hiding in the straw machine that you have to push the bottom to get a straw. When you've finished, you yourself throw away everything except the tray. Many fast-food places have drive-in facilities (设施). You place your order from your car through a microphone and then drive round to a special window to pay and pick it up. You may even find places where a waitress bring your meal out, and you sit and eat it in the car from a tray hooked over the door through the open window. |
