Stroking

According to Eric Shlosser,  “Stroking” is the way how managers motivate their employees. Stroking is a form of praising. Many teenagers don’t get that at home. Because of that teenagers feel that they are needed and welcome in job more than at home. “Stroking can make a worker feel that his or her contribution is sincerely valued”(Fast Food Nation). McDonald’s is trying to inculcate “team spirit” to all crew members. If one worker arrived late to work, he should feel that he is making life harder for everyone else. He don’t want to make his friends life harder so he will be doing his best to avoid that kind of situation. We can see how McDonald's is manipulated workers to do things like McDonald want to do.
