美国快餐文化

Fast-food chains, American-style, are currently on theincrease all over the world. Most of these places work on asimilar principle.

There is a long counter, above which is displayed a list(often with pictures)of the items available, and behind whichseveral people (often students working for the minimum wage)are serving. Individual queues form in front of each assistant.
