"Undercover Boss"
Hooters

Interesting for the son who has taken over as pres & CEO to see how his dad's passing is seen by the employees.
From the way I saw it, he never expected to go to work for the company, much less become CEO.

I thought he was going to think the manager (military & cop background) who wouldn't "hire" him was too abrupt. To me, he (the manager) was condescending and belittled the "new" employee trainee. But he liked the way he ran the place.

I only wish he had fired the one restaurant manager who was so disrespectful to the wait staff.
&? that he realizes that guy is probably not the only male manager who treats them like that.

1. "RE: Undercover Boss"
It thought this episode was ridiculous. CEO finds out all the things wrong with his "brand" (the boobs/ass), yet his solution is to keep the brand as is?! Hooters must not be hurting too bad for him to stay the course.

I guess one can't revamp the business into something that doesn't objectify women's bodies; otherwise, you're just a poor man's Buffalo Wild Wings.

The Waste Mgmt episode was great-this one, not so much. Just not a particularly inspiring set of "results."

3. "RE: Undercover Boss"
As Chris Rock put it: "No one goes to Hooters for wings."

I do like that he cleaned up the one manager's act, but it's not like he changed the world; the whole thing was obviously made for TV. (So was the previous week's, in case one thinks I'm picking on Hooters.) Even if it's negative publicity for the show (and I don't buy the whole "degrading to women" argument - no one forces them to work there) it's still publicity.

That said? I'm sure there are better wing places in most any city.

Still recording the show. Still recording an hour past the show as well just in case CBS decides to be brain-for-brains and run over earlier in the day.

I get the feeling that the "office" that they use for the big reveal is the same every week. I saw the Hooters episode, and from what I saw of the advertisements for the Waste Management episode, it looked like the same place.........

5. "7-Eleven"
The 7-Eleven ep was much better, IMHO, than the Hooters ep. I felt like the "rewards" the boss gave to the employees he spend time with were well-thoughtout and really could make a difference.

Looks like next week's episode is White Castle. Confession: I've never eaten at a White Castle. They don't exist around here, and it's never been my first choice on vacation.

7. "RE: Undercover Boss"
Actually, an interesting show--what a surprise. Can think of several chains that need to have a CEO go "undercover" to find out what really happens in their stores!

Of the three so far, we liked the 7-11 episode the best. It was funny when he went to the store in South Lake that he normally frequents and had to "hide" from the franchisee.
