The fact that ol' Jimbo was willing to be that creepy *in front of a bunch of cameras* makes me think that there was definitely worse stuff going on at that restaurant, and you just know that every skeevy hooters manager watched that episode and went "oh cool, I can sexually degrade women and get nothing but a slap on the wrist from the CEO, so I'm just gonna keep being an absolute stinking greasetrap of a human being."
I knew a girl who worked there around 2008. They told her she 'had the privilege' to compete in a Hooters bikini contest BUT that she'd need to buy new bikinis, would not get paid unless she won AND would have to take off work. She politely declined and they did everything they could to hound her at work for tiny infractions and fired her a month later. She was a super sex positive person who even liked the outfits and they still managed to go to far with her. I hate Hooters so much.
And every other 'Jessica' felt the need to remove her perfectly reasonable work shirt to expose her bikini covered boobs, despite feeling uncomfortable, out of fear of being fired by her disgusting excuse for a boss. My God I loathe that man.

I've only seen Undecover boss Canada and wow... major difference in which bosses are willing to be filmed. Ours are actually decent/fake it well and make you want to use the company
Some men only care about women’s worth in relation to men, like when they only care thinking it’s someone daughter and could possibly be theirs one day. It’s selfish.
a lot of s*xual assault awareness (from a certain angle) is phrased as “she’s someone’s daughter” or “she’s someone’s mom/sister/wife.” yet she is her own whole person too with her own rights regardless. it’s like the woman herself isn’t centered as an individual, but respecting a woman/girl is transactional depending on how important she is to other people. very weird.
@@dylanfromtheh00d46 The point is about how certain people talk about women as if their worth is based on their relation to the men around them rather than them as an independent person. What does the dumb "I don't care about anyone and nobody cares about me hmm" have to do with this?
the thing that weirds me out it when he calls them “prima donna’s” like they’re minimum wage workers what makes you think they’re entitled? because they dress/look the way you require them to? because they’re women?
He's quite literally an incel with power. The only reason he wasn't even worse was because he already knew he hit the line of how far he could degrade them without getting into legal trouble.
I love how all these CEOs act all surprised when their employee isn’t eager to do a minimum wage customer service job. They should know 80% of people that take those jobs just need the money. I doubt they’d want to do it themselves.
Because they either grew up w money and didn’t have to work for a dime and got their daddy’s company handed to them (like the Hooters guy) or they worked minimum wage jobs when they were like 15 4827 yrs ago and forgot how terrible it was
As an ex-Hooter’s girl, they definitely do line everyone up before the shift and check to make sure you’re “in uniform” basically tattoos covered, no nails or jewelry besides a wedding ring, mascara blush lips minimum, if you’re Black you have to either straighten your hair or wear a wig because they won’t let you wear it natural. If they think you gained weight, they can tell you to lose it or your job. They hire you as “entertainers” rather than servers and call themselves an image based company so they have the right to do all these things
My favourite(?) thing about Undercover Boss is that they give, like, one person a holiday or something and completely ignore the underlying conditions that make it such a shitty place to work.
an annoying thing that doesn’t get talked about enough: women are expected to appear “presentable” (aka done up) esp in jobs like this but their place of work never compensates them for things like getting their hair, nails, & hair removal done regularly which can be very expensive and time consuming. there’s also the cost of buying makeup and fake tanning. I know people are also going to say men are expected to look “presentable” but the standards and cost in terms of money and time are way different and it’s just never mentioned.… it’s messed up.
I’m a female and I’ve never even thought about this but holy shit you’re so right. I work in a clothing retail store as a manager. Our dress code is pretty lax (changed recently due to covid which meant our product went more “cozy casual”). Basically wear to sell while still looking presentable and not like you just got out of bed. Since it’s clothing, you’re mostly expected to wear current product or similar product (could be from a year or two ago). I’ve had to buy different shirts because my graphic tee isn’t sold by the company or it was a little too short when I’d lift my arms (to fold clothing, nothing weird). Meanwhile I’ve had male coworkers show up in sweatsuits and have never even been talked to about their outfit despite knowing the policies.
Also, sexists are so stupid. The workers all want these girls that are skinny and conventionally attractive. So why would you force feed them!?!? Aside from it being inhumane, it also makes no goddamn sense.
If that is what Jimbo was comfortable doing in front of the cameras imagine what shit he got up to on the daily... gross. Also it's so irritating and wrong when people expect you to love your job when you're just in some dead-end job, everyone does it for the money and expecting people to be passionate about that dumb shit is f*cking lunacy.
For real! Like, why the fuck would you expect a young woman to spend the rest of her life bartending for your shitty, sexual, demeaning customers? The fact that he expects people to be all smiles and roses about working minimum wage in the service industry is just disgusting 😒.
I love the fact that they make fun of a girl for having “bad nails” when in the food industry (at least in the kitchen) you typically can’t have nail polish, long nails, or fake nails.
I was thinking that the whole time! At least in some states, you can only have nail polish or fake nails in certain counties, and then you have to wear gloves over them. Which I'm guessing they wouldn't consider very sexy 🙄
the fact that the guy just has to apologize and play nice like theyre disciplining a two year old when he has been mistreating his staff for probably multiple years and will probably continue, and a girl who was wearing a shirt and working purely for money so they can survive gets fired. thats so gross.
the blatant sexism with how the girl got fired, but the manager didn't is mind-blowing to me. I hope she did a go fund me or something, I feel so bad for her bro...
I believe he did end up getting fired and banned from Hooters, and the episode went down in history as one of the worst workplace conditions and worst situations the CEO had to witness. However I agree, this was way too out of line for it to happen later on, it should've happened right then and there.
@Squealer "you think it's weird that the mayor listens to the high school musical track on a day to day basis don't you? it's because of the mayor isn't it?"
The fact that they say "girls" instead of "women" is already a huge problem, excluding all the other dehumanising, misogynistic, degrading and sexist shit going on.
The thing is, he's so believable to me. Like guys like him are literally everywhere. Granted, there's more accountability for guys like him since the #metoo movement, but he's painfully realistic
EXACTLY!!! it's really hard to prove that a company headed by men that's profiting off of women's bodies as not degrading in the 1st place, but then that manager proves exactly why i refuse to give them money. if a woman enjoys her work there then i completely support her!! but the fact that these women are treated like objects and toys rather than human beings will always be disgusting
Exactly and I disagree with Kurtis @ 7:05 bc that woman is 100% correct. Hooters is objectifying and degrading to women. And it grossed me out that they kept calling these adult women "girls". Adds another layer of creepiness.
@@marinasunshine4517 100% agree with you but I think the reason why Kurtis thought it was a bad take was because women should be allowed to wear what they want without being objectified
And the CEOs were the most generic looking guys ever, even if they wallpapered the restaurants with their faces I doubt the employees would recognise them
i work at a Marcus theaters and if you've never been, they show Mr Marcus before every movie after the previews. so I have seen what he looks like several times but if I saw him in person i wouldn't give it a second thought, would not notice him at all
I'm not ever going to say anything too positive about CEOs but I as an employee of a billion dollar company have met and had conversations with my CEO multiple times. He doesn't remember me of course but I have definitely interacted personally with him.
Doug being mad that Jessica is wearing a shirt because the company is called bikini and not shirt? Bro, then why aren’t you in a bikini? Go put one on, and if you don’t you’re not passionate about the company I guess :/
Why is it that CEOs can be all about doing everything in the name of making money but as soon as one of their workers says they're just doing their job to make money it's a problem?
I first heard of hooters through memes on ifunny a long time ago, but i thought it was a one restaurant type thing but the fact its a chain is even more wild
The part where the women had to eat beans like that genuinely made me feel sick. I feel awful for those women. If I had to do that at my job, I would go home and cry. That’s so degrading, having to do a humiliating competition for time off? The fact that they’re so eager for an afternoon off shows that they HATE their jobs. As they should. I don’t understand how the manager wasn’t fired for treating employees like that. I don’t care that it was ten years ago. It’s gross.
The fact that the "six guys" (there were only five in the photo) made a restaurant chain just so they legally couldn't be kicked out of it really lets you know the priorities these guys had
The fact that Jimbo got off with a warning but Jessica got *FIRED* fills me with an unbelievable amount of rage. Also what a goodamn creep buying his *employee* breast implants. 🤢
Like, even if that's something she will genuinely and happily take, I'd rather give her a good amount of money for compensation (for appearing on the show, and for being a potentially-even more valuable employee) without even mentioning my interests in her personal chest assets as her boss. That's just weird, dude. But, yeah. Jessica? I swear if she were actually a REAL employee who REALLY got fired for the show... Holy fuck. Thank god the business is under. Bad for the employees since they just lost their jobs, of course, but thank god they won't be under someone who's such a piece of dick. Not in the good way either. He's just a meatslob.
@@OPIUMCrody it’s more the idea that this ceo fired a woman for wearing a shirt and another ceo allowed an employee to stay after abusing women in the workplace
I'm not surprised that the guy Jimbo got off so easily; Coby seems like he has the backbone of a jellyfish and wouldn't have stopped Jimbo from kicking him in the gut.
the ceo of bikinis talking about jessica needing to devote herself and her passion to her job reminds me of my current job telling me the same thing at my part time retail job with no benefits
In all of my retail jobs, as a person that just needs money to keep studying for the career that I'm actually passionate about, I had the same experience... It's sad
but i can guarantee that if you genuinely did have an attachment and passion for a low skilled job like that, the same rich owners would look down on you for not being ambitious or high-flying enough. we see mega rich people complaining about normal people like this all the time lmao
@@brightonbarinwizug8396 correct me if im wrong, but the girls wearing bikini's weren't cooking either, so by your "monkey" logic, they shouldn't have to wear bikinis
@@brightonbarinwizug8396 He was pretending to work as a regular worker, therefore, he should uphold the standard of dress code to the same degree he did when he scrutinized Jessica
Are you fuckin kidding me? What the hell is wrong with men like my god I hate men sooo damn much and these are the kind of men that give the rest of the guys bad rep wtf!!
@Bob Watters yeah? its the problem of the industry makers and the consumers for making demand that has to be fuffiled. the same reason the porn industry is fueled through sex trafficking. maybe society should stop selling women and these women would have easy access to jobs that dont use their bodies as a product. you know, like men do.
@Bob Watters what do you mean by that? I’m saying that despite the job being dehumanizing sometimes people have no where else to work and we kind of need money to live. Idk why it’s such a difficult concept that people should be treated with basic human decency and not treated like literal animals lol
@Bob Watters just because there are women willingly working at these places doesn’t make those men’s attitudes any less disrespectful. treating those women as objects and talking to and about them in the way they did is NOT OK, even if the people they’re doing it to are ok with it. yes, the women are not being forced to work there, however, there probably aren’t as many job opportunities for them. It is also very possible that they have been taught and conditioned to think that that’s how they deserve to be treated. It’s fucking sick that there are men that think that way and arguing anything different is disgusting
the fact they fired Jessica... a way-overqualified woman who does her job well whose only indiscretion was wearing a shirt... with one DAY's notice after she literally said she needs her job to pay the bills... unreal I hope they gave her a FAT severance package after that. Edit: I don’t think the restaurant offers everyone they fire a severance check, I’m assuming the TV production company offered her a substantial amount to prevent her from suing the restaurant/tv studio because clearly she was fired unfairly and definitely would’ve had a case, especially after her episode aired on tv. This comment is two years old literally why are you popping in now to correct me 🤣
@@BingBongWitch I MEAN im hoping (especially since they aired it on TV) they had a plan to pay her severance. Even at my minimum wage job, you gotta pay up if you fire someone. And if not, I hope she got a fat paycheck from the studio that filmed this so she wouldn't have to take them to court.
your comment was the first one about this and it's astoundingly low. That is HORRIFYING, and the fact they chose to air it too? Jesus christ hooters needs to be shut down
oh good. i dont even wanna confirm it by looking it up cuz i dont wanna spend that much time on researching a food chain that died in the recession so i can just believe it.
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 lmfaooo what?? 30 second clips on TikTok can ruin someone's life, a episode showcasing how shitty of a CEO he is would definitly have consequences
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 In just looking this up online, I saw countless news stories from when the episode aired talking about the backlash from people regarding that episode. It absolutely makes sense that the episode went a long way to hurt his reputation. Also, the restaurant featured in the episode was rebranded by another company six months after the episode aired. I think the city wanted nothing to do with the company either.
I am literally so angry. Jimbo is disgusting. “Evaluating” those women’s appearances just so he can check them out and comment on it and call it “doing his job”. The beans eating thing made me very uncomfortable. Whether it was the power dynamic that gets him off or the fact that he’s forcing women to lick a plate clean that gets him off or both, it just made me very uncomfortable to watch. I CANNOT BELIEVE he didn’t get fired. “Apologize”… that’s it?! I’m willing to bet he went back to his job and changed NOTHING. He was probably still a sexist creep just more careful about getting caught. And then Doug… Doug is Jimbo if he was a CEO… they’re just both very disgusting. I’m like actually furious. I hope Jimbo is out there NOT harassing women, I hope he got fired from Hooters and he’s working in an all male job where he is in no contact with women. He doesn’t even deserve to LOOK at a woman. And I’m glad Doug’s shitty restaurant went out of business and I hope he also has no contact with women :) ALSO, I hope Jessica is doing FANTASTIC! I hope it wasn’t too hard for her to find another job and I hope her and her family are very happy right now :) :) :) as well as all the women from the hooters that had to deal with Jimbo’s BS. I hope he never laid a finger on them.
i agree jimbo and doug were actually DISGUSTING. buttt every hooters establishment does the line up thing before we work (called a jumpstart). it isn’t as intense as the show made it seem… it’s more so just making sure you look presentable because many of the guests will ask to take pictures with you and a big part of the job is looking “photo shoot ready”. sure some people come into hooters strictly for the food, but most come for other obvious reasons hahahah. this information is given to us during orientation so we know what to expect and can quit if we don’t feel comfortable! i honestly love my managers and the hooters i work at and i always feel comfortable/safe with them! obviously i can’t speak for other hooters tho and that bean thing was just nasty lmao
4:03 the way he perfectly described my dad and then said "if i didn't just summon your dad then i'm sorry for your loss" is crazy because my dad did actually pass away
The issue with Hooters isn't the uniform itself. It's the fact that male executives decided they would only hire women if they would dress in a sexualized manner and subject themselves to being sexualized at work by both customers AND BOSSES (?) without protecting themselves. I think that's what that woman was getting at. It wasn't a bad take. It's a predatory business that perpetuates rape culture.
Jimbo definitely said "the girls are spoiled" because they won't sleep with him, and he thinks they're being bratty by not giving him what he wants. He was definitely making them do something degrading as a way to get off
Hahaha I work for a grocery chain in the northeast US and the former CEO (and also his daughter who is the present one) is like plastered on our walls and talked / joked about frequently. They could never get away with going undercover. They also have like visited and we’ve met them. But I’m sure most people don’t know their CEOs like that
One of the top executives at one of my older jobs actually walked into my location and told me his name. He was shocked that I didn’t recognize who he was.
Side note: he got sent home, on his “first” day of work because he did a bad job? Dog, this general manager sucks, he’s doing a bad job because he hasn’t been trained! He’s not gonna do a good job his first day.
Totally agree with you. I think I remember this episode, (and correct me if I'm wrong), but the manager told him to put away some stuff from dishwashing, and he dropped a whole bunch of glasses and broke them all. The manager just didn't want to deal with that, so he just sent him home for getting in everyone's way.
Holy shit yes. Had a manager at a Subway like this when I was younger. I got almost zero training and was expected to know what to do, even though I had never worked in a Subway before, or even in the food service industry (which the manager knew). The other employees had no interest in helping me out, either. Got fired after my first couple of weeks. Got 'em all back with a friend of mine, some stencils he made, and a can of spray paint. Hope it took 'em a real long time to get that shit off.
I remember SO CLEARLY seeing the Hooters episode on TV a million years ago, and the CEO saying every 5 minutes that his daughters wanna work in Hooters when they grow up and it was the maximum cringe hearing how he was trying to convince himself that his business wasn't absolutely horrible to women just by repeating over and over again that unconfirmed fact 😖
It’s such a shit argument as well like of course they wanna work at hooters their father literally owns it and romanticizes it to them and they will have the ability to quit anytime because their dad is rich so they don’t even need to work their
imagine how excited those girls were after hearing that was the CEO that saw Jimbo and thinking omg finally he's gonna get fired and then they find out HE JUST HAS TO APOLOGIZE
I do think Hooters is degrading especially because every time you go you’re being put on a pedestal for creepy old men to stare at you so some random creep that owns the company can profit off of you. Not cool :(

@@aarrondias9950 you really dont think that if she could've gotten another job she would've? She said she didnt like it and she was doing what she had to do to pay the bills. I'm pretty sure shes allowed to keep her shirt on if she pleases because it's her body?? Not that hard of a concept
as if he wouldn't fire her (and the other women) as soon as they get older so he could keep the 'breastaurant' run by young women bc he wouldn't find them attractive anymore. its fucking sickening
CEOs are so out of touch they want everyone who works the shitty jobs to be as passionate as they are while making a fraction of the salary. It’s crazy how fucking stupid people can be lol. Jessica deserves better and I hope she’s thriving now.

It’s not the coby is “too nice” it’s that he probably doesn’t respect women as much as he thinks he does and he doesn’t care enough to actually hold men accountable… it’s cowardly… IMO
This is exactly the case, I honestly can't say I was too surprised when he didn't fire that guy for straight up *dehumanizing* women. You can't have that much respect for women in the first place when you're the CEO of a company whose profit comes from objectifying women.
Honestly being able to see that and react furiously upset is jarring. I couldn't even laugh when I saw that. That was really a sick and twisted thing to do.
Kurtis, you left out a part. The only reason she was in a tshirt instead of a bikini was because she didn’t want her grandmother seeing her on tv dressed like that.
I feel like the worst part about Undercover Boss is that it pretends that the CEO went through an awakening about having to live the life of a minimum wage worker, but in reality they ONLY help the people that the cameras looked at. Sure let's pretend their problem is unique and not a company wide problem that doesn't need to be addressed? Let's pay one person a bunch of money to go on vacation, instead of paying everyone a livable wage to help ease their problems.

Woman complains about her job(like every other human being on the planet) and doesn’t wear a bikini: fired with zero notice Dude objectifies and verbally abuses his workers: has to apologize
Yes, but also, they were different CEOs If someone in Bikini's said "yk I think women should vote" in front of the guy, they'd probably be fired If someone in Hooters told Cody straight up "Holy shit I hate our CEO, he stinks, he's an asshole, I hate him", Cody would probably promote them /s
Coby: *runs a business where women are seen as objects and legit have their boobs out*: woman “I think hooters is a little degrading to women” - Coby: 😳WHAT?!
The funnier thing about it is the insane rules these women have to follow to work at each Hooters. It’s like working in a super weird, sort of racist, incredibly sexist, yet conservative strip club.
ok but the fact that jimbo got literally zero consequences for his nastiness, and then jessica gets let go just because she chooses not to wear a bikini.. i am absolutely livid. how is this even real
Person Yeah but that’s the job… we always talk about how sex work is legitimate work. If a pornstar (a far more revealing job) refused to get naked, would it not be reasonable to not employ them or fire them? How can sex work be legitimate work if employees cannot be held accountable for not doing their job? If you wanna talk about why society finds the objectification of women appealing then that’s a different and far more valid concern.
I could tell from the CEO's face when jimbo made the girls eat beans that he was uncomfortable af and thought it was weird. Unfortunately he didn't fire him.
@@loyael That's not exactly comparable though, the two CEOs were clearly much different in terms of personality. It'd be different if the same CEO did both, but it was separate situations with separate CEOs, granted I don't think she should have been fired for that but I don't think the two situations are comparable either.
It's odd because I've seen other episodes where the CEO saw a manager who was so bad/disrespectful that they would reveal themselves early just to fire the manager. But apparently this wasn't even worth a firing at all.
that beans thing honestly traumatized me as a kid. one of the earliest instances i can remember of a man clearly abusing his power over women and not being punished in any way

Some men only care about women’s worth in relation to men, like when they only care thinking it’s someone daughter and could possibly be theirs one day. It’s selfish.
This ^^^^^^
a lot of s*xual assault awareness (from a certain angle) is phrased as “she’s someone’s daughter” or “she’s someone’s mom/sister/wife.” yet she is her own whole person too with her own rights regardless. it’s like the woman herself isn’t centered as an individual, but respecting a woman/girl is transactional depending on how important she is to other people. very weird.
@@afterglcw5050 Nobody has a reason to care about an individual I'm a man and strangers don't care if I live or die it's the same way for anyone
@@dylanfromtheh00d46 The point is about how certain people talk about women as if their worth is based on their relation to the men around them rather than them as an independent person. What does the dumb "I don't care about anyone and nobody cares about me hmm" have to do with this?
And some women only care about a man's worth with how much they can support their lifestyle. That's the world.
the thing that weirds me out it when he calls them “prima donna’s” like they’re minimum wage workers what makes you think they’re entitled? because they dress/look the way you require them to? because they’re women?
Because they won’t sleep with him 💀
Insinuating that they’re “high maintenance” women but then making fun of the girl for not having a manicure done
EXACTLY
He's quite literally an incel with power. The only reason he wasn't even worse was because he already knew he hit the line of how far he could degrade them without getting into legal trouble.
Below minimum wage. Any tipped employee gets way lower than the state’s average minimum wage. For my state it’s about 4 dollars an hour.
I love how all these CEOs act all surprised when their employee isn’t eager to do a minimum wage customer service job. They should know 80% of people that take those jobs just need the money. I doubt they’d want to do it themselves.
yeah like i doubt there are kids out there who are like : “oh yeah when i grow up i want to work at hooters”
Imagine the job interview, so why do you want to work at Hooters
When I grow up I wanna work at McDonald's
Because they either grew up w money and didn’t have to work for a dime and got their daddy’s company handed to them (like the Hooters guy) or they worked minimum wage jobs when they were like 15 4827 yrs ago and forgot how terrible it was

Omg yall funny. Im jus commenting for further funny af comments. ~~
As an ex-Hooter’s girl, they definitely do line everyone up before the shift and check to make sure you’re “in uniform” basically tattoos covered, no nails or jewelry besides a wedding ring, mascara blush lips minimum, if you’re Black you have to either straighten your hair or wear a wig because they won’t let you wear it natural. If they think you gained weight, they can tell you to lose it or your job. They hire you as “entertainers” rather than servers and call themselves an image based company so they have the right to do all these things
thats messed up wtf

She’s also a bartender and the people there mostly care about the waitresses no one but him would say anything about her wearing a shirt for a bit
Right 🙄
Exactly like we’re all in this together!
Period!
an annoying thing that doesn’t get talked about enough: women are expected to appear “presentable” (aka done up) esp in jobs like this but their place of work never compensates them for things like getting their hair, nails, & hair removal done regularly which can be very expensive and time consuming. there’s also the cost of buying makeup and fake tanning.
I know people are also going to say men are expected to look “presentable” but the standards and cost in terms of money and time are way different and it’s just never mentioned.… it’s messed up.
Well said
Damn bro that’s gotta really suck like Jesus man
I’m a female and I’ve never even thought about this but holy shit you’re so right. I work in a clothing retail store as a manager. Our dress code is pretty lax (changed recently due to covid which meant our product went more “cozy casual”). Basically wear to sell while still looking presentable and not like you just got out of bed. Since it’s clothing, you’re mostly expected to wear current product or similar product (could be from a year or two ago). I’ve had to buy different shirts because my graphic tee isn’t sold by the company or it was a little too short when I’d lift my arms (to fold clothing, nothing weird). Meanwhile I’ve had male coworkers show up in sweatsuits and have never even been talked to about their outfit despite knowing the policies.
how dare you undermine the costs of being presentable as a man, we have to spend like $5 in deodorant a month and sometimes maybe shave
Not necessarily. If your doing something solely based on your appearance of course you gonna have a higher expectation.
The fact that the ceo doesn’t do anything when jimbo forces them to eat beans is disgusting and speaks volumes. Then he doesn’t fire him 😒
Right? Hooters CEO sucks too. Just because Coby sucks more/differently doesn't mean Hooters dude gets a pass
Also, sexists are so stupid. The workers all want these girls that are skinny and conventionally attractive. So why would you force feed them!?!? Aside from it being inhumane, it also makes no goddamn sense.
Tbh at that point in time, I would have taken off my disguise (a hat I guess? Lmao) and fired him like fuck the show that’s horrible

My thoughts EXACTLY
It's honestly so fucked.
For real! Like, why the fuck would you expect a young woman to spend the rest of her life bartending for your shitty, sexual, demeaning customers? The fact that he expects people to be all smiles and roses about working minimum wage in the service industry is just disgusting 😒.
My job is ok. I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it either. I go there everyday because I need to pay the bills
The women stick around
I love the fact that they make fun of a girl for having “bad nails” when in the food industry (at least in the kitchen) you typically can’t have nail polish, long nails, or fake nails.
I was thinking that the whole time! At least in some states, you can only have nail polish or fake nails in certain counties, and then you have to wear gloves over them. Which I'm guessing they wouldn't consider very sexy 🙄
Just took the Servesafe course and this was the first thing I thought of.
Servers could in early 2000s
Also wtf no way am I waisting $100 of my tips on nails for my job every 2 weeks lol.
They…don’t work in the kitchen
So Jimbo doesn’t get fired and Jessica does? Disgusting.
AHHHHHH OMG RIGHT?!! 🤢
yeah the amount of audacity in that show is just off the charts. jimbo and both the ceos are just living slime.
the fact that the guy just has to apologize and play nice like theyre disciplining a two year old when he has been mistreating his staff for probably multiple years and will probably continue, and a girl who was wearing a shirt and working purely for money so they can survive gets fired. thats so gross.
And yet typical.

@Bob Watters what do you mean by that? I’m saying that despite the job being dehumanizing sometimes people have no where else to work and we kind of need money to live. Idk why it’s such a difficult concept that people should be treated with basic human decency and not treated like literal animals lol
@Bob Watters just because there are women willingly working at these places doesn’t make those men’s attitudes any less disrespectful. treating those women as objects and talking to and about them in the way they did is NOT OK, even if the people they’re doing it to are ok with it. yes, the women are not being forced to work there, however, there probably aren’t as many job opportunities for them. It is also very possible that they have been taught and conditioned to think that that’s how they deserve to be treated. It’s fucking sick that there are men that think that way and arguing anything different is disgusting

The issue with Hooters isn't the uniform itself. It's the fact that male executives decided they would only hire women if they would dress in a sexualized manner and subject themselves to being sexualized at work by both customers AND BOSSES (?) without protecting themselves. I think that's what that woman was getting at. It wasn't a bad take. It's a predatory business that perpetuates rape culture.

Rewatching this 3 years after it was first put up, I love seeing the beginnings of the glorious curly mullet and 80's dad-stash combo he has in 2024!
Why do the CEOs even bother with a "disguise"? As if any minimum wage employee looks up who the CEO is.
Always wondered this back when the show started and i saw ads for it like no one knows the ceo
Hahaha I work for a grocery chain in the northeast US and the former CEO (and also his daughter who is the present one) is like plastered on our walls and talked / joked about frequently. They could never get away with going undercover. They also have like visited and we’ve met them. But I’m sure most people don’t know their CEOs like that
There’s always that one employee who is always extra into the company that knows who the CEO is and what they look like.
I feel attacked I was that person who looked up the CEO
One of the top executives at one of my older jobs actually walked into my location and told me his name. He was shocked that I didn’t recognize who he was.
Side note: he got sent home, on his “first” day of work because he did a bad job? Dog, this general manager sucks, he’s doing a bad job because he hasn’t been trained! He’s not gonna do a good job his first day.
Totally agree with you. I think I remember this episode, (and correct me if I'm wrong), but the manager told him to put away some stuff from dishwashing, and he dropped a whole bunch of glasses and broke them all. The manager just didn't want to deal with that, so he just sent him home for getting in everyone's way.
Holy shit yes. Had a manager at a Subway like this when I was younger. I got almost zero training and was expected to know what to do, even though I had never worked in a Subway before, or even in the food service industry (which the manager knew). The other employees had no interest in helping me out, either. Got fired after my first couple of weeks. Got 'em all back with a friend of mine, some stencils he made, and a can of spray paint. Hope it took 'em a real long time to get that shit off.
I remember SO CLEARLY seeing the Hooters episode on TV a million years ago, and the CEO saying every 5 minutes that his daughters wanna work in Hooters when they grow up and it was the maximum cringe hearing how he was trying to convince himself that his business wasn't absolutely horrible to women just by repeating over and over again that unconfirmed fact 😖
And that he indirectly would like to see his daughters dressed and treated so degrading
"Gee idk how my business based on looking at boobs can be so hostile to women." 😮
It’s such a shit argument as well like of course they wanna work at hooters their father literally owns it and romanticizes it to them and they will have the ability to quit anytime because their dad is rich so they don’t even need to work their
@@doctorlain2740 they'll clearly be treated differently too.
The only thing he forgets to mention is that his daughters want to work at hooters as CEO/shareholders not as waitresses...
Jimbo body shaming his staff then using them to fulfill his Bean Vore Kink
Pls doug got so angry when she said she was only there for the money. That's literally what jobs are for 😃
Right?! Like what did he expect, "this is my _dreaaam_ ! Ever since I was a child, I wanted to do this!"
she would’ve kept her job if she had a bikini on because then he wouldn’t even be listening to a word she said! :):):)
CEOs can burn
He is not Doug, he is *the dougler*
Reminds me of why I get so pissed off when employers list jobs on indeed and don’t mention the salary 🙄🙄
I’m so disappointed there wasn’t a “Tooters” joke.
Or a dude Hooters equivalent called Dude'ers
kurtis: "tooters"
**loud reverbed fart sound rings out**
imagine how excited those girls were after hearing that was the CEO that saw Jimbo and thinking omg finally he's gonna get fired and then they find out HE JUST HAS TO APOLOGIZE
I feel really bad for them. Hope they have jobs at much better places now :((
I do think Hooters is degrading especially because every time you go you’re being put on a pedestal for creepy old men to stare at you so some random creep that owns the company can profit off of you. Not cool :(
Jessica was overqualified for bikinis and Dougler deserves his business closing for how he treated the women working for him

Could have hired the accountant trying to make ends meet as an *accountant* ... Maybe he'd still have a business eh? But no, her wearing a shirt was just too disrespectful to his proud brand.
@@LunarEleven lmao legit some ppl i swear
I know she wasn't a "bikini babe" but any woman working for this company has to wear a bikini. 😒
This guy actually believes Hooters is end game for most people. No one says, “WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO WORK AT HOOTERS!” 🙄
@@pepperonipete8928 actually she wore a shirt only cause she didn't want to be seen like that on TV is all during the filming. Reasonable.
"what, this girl isn't passionate about the job where she's basically just a sports illustrated swimsuits edition that serves drinks? fired!"
@Gff G reported
A severly underpaid one at that. At least front cover models make bank for those pictures.
I'm almost glad she got fired just because I'm hoping she managed to leave that shitshow quicker to find a better job (so literally any other job). I hope she didn't have to worry about finding another job for too long.
A ceo offering an employee a boob job is one of the weirdest and most inappropriate things I've seen on this show.
And he didn't even really promise to get her one since she has to work hard for the next 6 months to get it if he even keeps his word at that point
I mean… it’s a “breastraunt”
happened to my sister. then again she was working at a strip club at the time💀😭
@@ava-zm5lu Well that's still pretty weird but not something I wouldn't expect from someone managing a strip club lmao
@@agereartist3763 ikr! definitely an inappropriate thing for a manager to do but it happens more than u would expect. my sister didn’t ever get the boob job cuz the place burnt down hella long ago
I'd have Jimbo put on a Hooters uniform, down a plate of beans in one minute, and then work a full-day shift on a Saturday if he wanted to keep his job.
Woman: *doesn’t let herself get objectified at her job*
Boss: Uh yea. You’re fired.
honestly just go to a strip club if you wanna see boobies, not some shitty resteraunt
Who's going to work at a hooters and not expect to be treated like that by guys? Seriously, if it bugs you then just don't fucking go there
@@aarrondias9950 Doesn’t mean that she deserves it. She’s allowed to be upset. 😃😃
@@aarrondias9950 you really dont think that if she could've gotten another job she would've? She said she didnt like it and she was doing what she had to do to pay the bills. I'm pretty sure shes allowed to keep her shirt on if she pleases because it's her body?? Not that hard of a concept
@@aarrondias9950 But the CEO? That's low.

don't even wanna know
i need it
Tiny sense he uses inly like three
why was he acting like jessica should've been preparing for a lifelong career at bikinis
as if he wouldn't fire her (and the other women) as soon as they get older so he could keep the 'breastaurant' run by young women bc he wouldn't find them attractive anymore. its fucking sickening
CEOs are so out of touch they want everyone who works the shitty jobs to be as passionate as they are while making a fraction of the salary. It’s crazy how fucking stupid people can be lol. Jessica deserves better and I hope she’s thriving now.
At the worst part is she was only wearing it so her grandma wouldn't see her in a bikini on TV

Also if Jessica didn’t want to show her body as she’s doing her job that’s her decision, she was perfectly qualified for the job and was doing nothing wrong
She wasn’t following company protocol. It’s the companies fault for likely not making it clear to her that she needs to wear a bikini though.
clearly it wasn't an issue to the manager of that location, but it was to the disgusting CEO. poor John, couldn't see Jessica's boobies :(((
@@johnnyapplesmith How do you not see the issue with forcing female restaurant workers to wear uniforms that are sexually objectifying and uncomfortable? In the episode she said she put a shirt on because she didn't want to be topless on tv ffs

Is this a bad time to talk about the hooters murderers......
the WHAT
@@taylorm8156 Erica and Benjamin were a killer couple and Erica was obsessed with hooters and was found robing one and was caught for murder when she was found at the hooters
It’s not the coby is “too nice” it’s that he probably doesn’t respect women as much as he thinks he does and he doesn’t care enough to actually hold men accountable… it’s cowardly… IMO
Yeah. He's trying to be so nice to the men, but thinks nothing of the "girls". Honestly disgusting.
This is exactly the case, I honestly can't say I was too surprised when he didn't fire that guy for straight up *dehumanizing* women. You can't have that much respect for women in the first place when you're the CEO of a company whose profit comes from objectifying women.
100% 100%
Honestly being able to see that and react furiously upset is jarring. I couldn't even laugh when I saw that. That was really a sick and twisted thing to do.
Go cry
Kurtis, you left out a part. The only reason she was in a tshirt instead of a bikini was because she didn’t want her grandmother seeing her on tv dressed like that.
Was that really the reason!? Omg
Wooooowwwww
Damn. It makes sense to want to be more discrete on national tv.
holy shit that’s even worse, hopefully she’s landed a solid job and is doing better now.
That makes it even worse. She was just temporarily dressed in a shirt for TV and would have went back to bikini when done. The CEO is gross.
I can't stand this. Humilating women because he's sick. It disgusts me and hurts me knowing this happens to my fellow women every single day
I feel like the worst part about Undercover Boss is that it pretends that the CEO went through an awakening about having to live the life of a minimum wage worker, but in reality they ONLY help the people that the cameras looked at.
Sure let's pretend their problem is unique and not a company wide problem that doesn't need to be addressed? Let's pay one person a bunch of money to go on vacation, instead of paying everyone a livable wage to help ease their problems.
looks like you finally discovered the true reason undercover boss was made: to make greedy rich ppl seem like humans when they exploit their employees. AKA c@p!talist propaganda

The fact he called the girls "products" aka OBJECTS. Women are literally an object to him that's disgusting
@Bob Watters no, they aren't products. They provide a service yes because they're staff. Employed to wait on people, not there to be objectified and treated as such.
You're entitled to an opinion although it is a bit worrisome

Woman complains about her job(like every other human being on the planet) and doesn’t wear a bikini: fired with zero notice

It's funny because it's a bikini's shirt. If the shirts weren't an option they wouldn't fuckin make them. What a joke
I hope that guy apologised by eating a sack of beans
Welcome to corporate
Yes, but also, they were different CEOs
If someone in Bikini's said "yk I think women should vote" in front of the guy, they'd probably be fired
If someone in Hooters told Cody straight up "Holy shit I hate our CEO, he stinks, he's an asshole, I hate him", Cody would probably promote them /s

Coby: *runs a business where women are seen as objects and legit have their boobs out*: woman “I think hooters is a little degrading to women” - Coby: 😳WHAT?!
It’s honestly like if a CEO owned a business that excluded black people then acted surprised when a black man said the company was racist.
The funnier thing about it is the insane rules these women have to follow to work at each Hooters. It’s like working in a super weird, sort of racist, incredibly sexist, yet conservative strip club.

@No Name I interpreted that as “you shouldn’t be shaming the women who work at hooters” because there is nothing wrong with working at hooters.

@Bob Watters for wearing a shit?
Not to be rude but that work environment looked so unprofessional that I wouldn’t expect there to be a dress code that she signed for
Person Yeah but that’s the job… we always talk about how sex work is legitimate work. If a pornstar (a far more revealing job) refused to get naked, would it not be reasonable to not employ them or fire them? How can sex work be legitimate work if employees cannot be held accountable for not doing their job?
If you wanna talk about why society finds the objectification of women appealing then that’s a different and far more valid concern.

I could tell from the CEO's face when jimbo made the girls eat beans that he was uncomfortable af and thought it was weird. Unfortunately he didn't fire him.
Yeah meanwhile a girl got fired because she was wearing a t-shirt.
@@loyael That's not exactly comparable though, the two CEOs were clearly much different in terms of personality. It'd be different if the same CEO did both, but it was separate situations with separate CEOs, granted I don't think she should have been fired for that but I don't think the two situations are comparable either.
It's odd because I've seen other episodes where the CEO saw a manager who was so bad/disrespectful that they would reveal themselves early just to fire the manager. But apparently this wasn't even worth a firing at all.
the male equivalent of bikinis could be "speedos: meat-and-creamery"
that beans thing honestly traumatized me as a kid. one of the earliest instances i can remember of a man clearly abusing his power over women and not being punished in any way
Let’s just hope Jimbo is working at an all men job. So he’s unable to make ANY contact with women.
