That would be number 2. You see, when you use the word 'the', you mean a particular place or thing, but in this sentence, you mean every fast food restaurant and factory, not just one fast food restaurant or factory in particular.

Two is correct. I'd place factories before fast food restaurants ("He doesn't want to work at places like factories and fast food restaurants.") but this is just a matter of taste, and two is still correct.

Number two is correct. The would only be used if there was just one place being talked about.

Like everyone else has said, the second one is the best out of the two but it isn't the best way to phrase it in any event. He wouldn't want to would be better as it's a hypothetical question.
