Undercover Boss

I like the show. The Hooters guy seemed like he really had not a clue about the company.

I didn't realize that Hooters and Naturally Fresh Salad Dressing were owned by the same people. The CEO did a shift there and promised to be more of a presence at the plant like his father had been. Then at the end they didn't even bring the plant employees back or mention if he kept his word.

I found this on answers.com:

Naturally Fresh was founded by Robert H. Brooks, who would become known to friends by his middle name, Howell, and better known to the general public as the chairman of the Hooters restaurant chain.

I like the show...

& a secret... 7-11's coffee is really 8 O'Clock Coffee... They buy it from them...


I'm just wondering how long it's gonna take for people in companies to just figure out that when a camera crew shows up with a new hiree... that it's the boss...

I felt the waste management episode was a little bit hard to swallow, with all the people on the garbage route coming out to greet the trash lady. Also the girl who was losing her house. "Gee Randy...wanna come to my house for dinner? (Even though I never met you before)...It just happens to be spotless (even though I do the work of 4 people)...I just happen to have a nice meal planned and plenty to go around (even though there are 8 people living in my house)....now let me tell you about my financial problems." (did I mention I never met you before?)

Interesting! I didn't see the waste management one but that does a bit fishy to me.

I thought the same thing! Although, I still like watching since it was here in my hometown of Rochester.

Canadians can watch the back episodes on CTV. I watched for the first time part of the last episode with DS (11) because we'd taped long after Amazing Race finished. We really liked it and DS had tons of insightful questions. I think it's a great show, from the little I've seen, to expose kids to different workplaces. We'll watch the back episodes and start watching next week for the new ones.
