You hit it exactly! And now the CEO needs to be fired for such classless judgement for allowing the game to happen. Horrible and pathetic judgement. Each of those girls should be suing the shit out of hooters!
That is easy to say, if you are running a single store and can keep tabs on each employee.... this is a franchise restaurant, which means they allow people to purchase the rights to use their names and menu... Scums will take advantage of any situations....
I think he definitely would have intervened but he wasn't allowed to break character for the show or whatever. Kind of a lame excuse. That was awful to watch, hope those women are okay now
Just like cops and priests sign up for jobs for a certain reason. I’m sure the men that choose to work at hooters are worse than any disrespect customer would even be.
3:51 Notice how Coby Brooks (the CEO here at the time) completely contradicts himself when he says "you can build profits all you want, that's not what I want. It's all about being respectful", and yet to keep Jimbo working there as a GM (when he should have been fired immediately) indicates the exact opposite attitude (it basically says "Well, I may not like your chauvinistic, bullying behaviour, Jimbo, but I sure like making money"). That's the *only* reason Jimbo didn't lose his job then and there like he should have, because he literally used the money excuse to show ZERO remorse for his behaviour 🤮
I am stunned that he was allowed to keep his job. He was more then disrespectful, he was a creep!! Hooters CEO is a part of the problem of misogynistic men like that by not having stepped in!
@@TheFirstAtom "I don't think he's clear on how the brand should be treated" I don't think the CEO has ever seen images aor advertising for the company he runs

Why is this man not fired? He didn’t apologize nor took any accountability for his actions. How bad does it have to get before the CEO will take proper action to let this man go
Well they could have said No and not compete to leave work early. Why nobody talks about that option. Yes this was inappropriate and the CEO should have stepped in but also one of the girls could have said No.
@@sococomfort22s34 sometimes people need a job so that they can pay their bills and keep a roof over their head. People put up with a lot of bullshit because of their situation.

@@morkins3243 Except this was to decide who got to leave, not stay. Plenty of other restaurants are desperate for experienced servers. And, no, I am not defending the manager's behavior.
An apology is nowhere near what should have been the outcome of that. The boss should have immediately stopped the bean eating contest before it even began.
If this is what he was completely open and proud of doing in front of cameras, imagine what he thinks he can get away with when no one's watching? It's disgusting that he wasn't fired immediately.

@@largemarge1603 Wrong this type of behavoir likely to lead to a boycott, It doens tbenefit a business to create a negetive image, also I dont think he understands his co workers at all and acts like a creep
That bean eating contest never ever should have happened. He should have been fired right there on the spot. Matter of fact, the moment he told the girl asking about making it to school that it didn't matter, that would have been the point for me.
It's unfathomable to me that the CEO allowed this. To employ this man is to leave your business open to public backlash at best and a lawsuit at the worst.
Please tell me he was fired. His sexist disrespectful treatment of the girls is a HUGE liability to the company, and you just don't treat your staff like that.
Hate to say this. But in the private sector bottom line takes precedence. Probably having a positive impact on walk in sales. Places like that are getting shut down left and right due to lack of demand. How do you keep customers coming in. it also says a lot about the type of customers they are attracting. in the end no matter how nasty disrespectful if it keeps the place open well . girls would be smart to get out .
Well, they didn't show everything, so I hope it was more. I would have demanded an apology as well as a promise that nothing like that would ever happen again. Even then, I'm not sure I would trust anyone capable of doing that in the first place.
This was so disturbing I couldn't even watch at times. F being incognito for the show! He didn't even have to break character to tell him this was digusting!
I'm a former SV/DV Advocate. We had a shocking amount of cases from Hooter's servers, including with management. I'm glad to see your management appears to care, but bottom line is this manager must make his numbers because they retained him. They'll be paying that out in lawsuits eventually, no doubt.
I am saddened, but not surprised, to see the lack of accountability of the men in this video. I'm a Forensic Psychology grad student & have worked with victims of sexual assault. We need to do better.
That CEO didn’t care, not one bit, or he would have immediately been fired. He asked for an apology, as if that’s somehow going to magically change this incel, sexist’s behavior or mindset. It obv didn’t, bc he doubled down on his “results”, and yet HE STILL KEPT HIM.
@@boofgedder9809 Agreed. 1979-89, we owned a restaurant business. Nearly three hundred cow-orkers simultaneously. We made it fun for everybody. 2022, we would not hire any female at any time for any job... nor would we accept an application from any female.
His pride and hunger for power is getting in the way of how to be an effective manager. The dude refused to apologize to his staff, and used his, "it works," as a way to excuse his behavior. Yes, it works, it's all about his need for power and ego.
My thought is this guy is not only a pig, but he treats the women badly because he's an incel and it's his way of taking revenge on pretty girls who wouldn't give him a second of their time.
The lack of harshness from the CEO is absurd. A lot of what the manager can be considered criminal. The CEO not immediately firing the manager but instead simply asking for him to apologize, and I assume he’d let him keep his job if he did so. The fact that all the CEO had to say was “the girls aren’t ALL premadonnas” and “they deserve a little more respect” is crazy af like “a little more respect” like thats all the issue was lmao..
This stuff is staged.I know someone that worked on the undercover boss production crew for a season.Maybe “staged” isn’t the right word but it’s highly influenced by the writers to make it dramatic and entertaining.
I honestly think the CEO is nearly as bad as Jimbo, just in a less cartoonishly malevolent way. But I really didn’t expect any better from the CEO of fucking Hooters lmao.
I’ve seen CEO’s break character before and this is one of those times he should’ve and intervened. Yes Jimbo should’ve been terminated on the spot to agree with other commenters.
This CEO sucks in particular tho. Literally gave him a slap on the wrist and just argued about whether or not all the girls are premadonnas and that all the manager had to do was apologize.
I saw this on one of the compilations of worst bosses on undercover boss and this angered me so much! Honestly imo that guy should’ve been charged!!! And what’s even more appalling is he didn’t even get fired!
I would have broke character and FIRED that misogynist!! ON THE SPOT!! That is beyond degrading for a grown woman to be treated like that. I hope he was FIRED!!
I'm letting you know if I found out he was treating my daughter like that we'd have issues and he would not like the end of that story. I don't know where this is but it's a good reason for me to continue my long history of not eating at Hooters.
The bottom line is this man is extremely emotionally abusive and that has no place in this type of position. The only position he should be in is one where he's by himself. He's a disgrace and unbelievably degrading to women. He's kidding himself by calling himself competitive. He's a loser. I hate that he wasn't fired. Those girls definitely should see if they can find a way to sue the company or the man or both. There's no possible way that employment laws would allow that.
Guarantee you if there wasn’t a crew filming, dude would’ve done way worse than just degrade them. And the fact that the CEO let him until meeting day says everything about his lack of character as well.
@unscripted I would believe that, but I’ve met enough guys like this working customer service who don’t know when to shut up and think their inappropriate “jokes” like this are funny.
@@asianguy6174 That’s not how filming these shows works. It says undercover, but they usually tell the person they’re being filmed for something else. Like “we heard you’re so good at your job, we want to see it in action” So they know they’re being filmed
This is totally scripted for television. Based off of the position of the cameras and how they move around the people in the shot, you can tell they aren't hidden. Also, why in the hell would a manager not be on their best behavior when working at their job with cameras around? Sometimes my work has cameras on premise for corporate to make promotional videos. On days like those I am on my best behavior. So it's pretty obvious that undercover boss is fake
@@CVRogers17 See my previous reply lolz. I’m not saying bits aren’t scripted. But guarantee you if someone told this guy to do what he normally does and complimented him just a smidge, he hammed it up
The most disturbing aspect is this CEO didn't fire that manager. So his CEO standards are as grown men this is ok to do this to women. You stop the abuse from happening or YOU also are part of the problem. This CEO sat by and condoned that conduct on camera doing nothing. He should immediately stopped that manager and fired him on the spot. This is why I will never eat there or give them my money.
"... You're no better than they are." Best leadership words to live by. The fact he wasn't fired on spot is very unnerving. Just because they work at Hooters does not make them objects for some creep. That's disgusting behavior and he should have been let go before those girls were humiliated and dehumanized like that. Smh. Do better.
Americans talk all the time about the rights of women in the Middle East and the world, but their women are humiliated and degraded. It is good that I am an Arab Muslim woman. I will not need this humiliation for money.
@@bluecollarmenproductions she’s saying Americans love to make fun of other cultures way of treating their women meanwhile they dehumanize their own woman for fun, for profit and a million other reasons
@@2econd428 accurate statement. And also the Middle East is problematic as hell. Can’t both be messed up. Can’t it be true that the world treats women as inferior, and there’s no competition to who is LESS shitty than the other?
This man’s behavior is not about being “overly competitive”! It’s obvious that there is a deeper underlying issue at hand, and he is using his platform as a manager/supervisor to feed into his “sickness”. This was sick. There are plenty of men and women in the workforce who are as much, or more, competitor than this man, and do not behave in this manner. If the CEO did not want to dismiss this man, then, at the very least, he should’ve suspended him, and required that he go to counseling until further evaluation. In my opinion the CEO is disrespectful to these young women by not firing this man, and merrily smacking him on the hand making him “promise” that he’s going to apologize to them. This was disgusting.
Oh my God. After he was defending his actions, bossman should have yelled to get the fuck out. You're fired. These are not defensible actions. This was absolutely disgusting behavior. This is the exact kind of guy that would abuse his power for sexual favors. Not saying he did, but if he didn't he seemed like he was on the road there.
The top comment should be about how big of a CREEP this “man” is. He needs to be locked up somewhere before he hurts someone. He should have been fired. Not given a second chance. Fired on the spot.
The problem is that a lot of women take someone respecting them for granted. At the core of their being, they are dogs, and sometimes it's best to treat them that way. Jimbo has realized this.
I showed this to my boss at work(a former head manager at Twin peaks) She gasped in shock when she saw this. She said that workers at twin peaks would get fired just for saying creepy things about them
I can't believe he allowed that so called game to actually take place ! 😡 He should have put a halt to it immediately and fired that manager on the spot , right in front of the staff ! No staff member should ever be treated in such a disrespectful manner !
I would like to believe, then I realized most of these reality shows are heavily dramatized or scripted. Nobody wanted to watch a manager and bunch of waitresses go on with their mundane daily restaurant work
That's what happen when your monitors are not being monitored by anyone. They demean and disrespect those under them because no one is keeping " them" accountable.
I’m honestly surprised that he didn’t fire this guy,I would have,or at the very least I would have appointed another manager and made him a dishwasher or something.
He should have fired that guy several times during that couple min clip. The CEO should be fired for his lack of courage to step up and prevent those girls from being abused with the eating game bull shit.
Well,considering what he (the CEO)was doing at that time,it was actually a really good decision because otherwise the guy could have retaliated by warning the other locations about what he was up to.
Are you sure because I’ve seen the ceo of several different companies do that if the situation could effect the company to the point we’re they could start loosing either customer’s and/or staff because of what this person is doing,and if you remember,when he said he was having a hard time biting his tongue.I honestly thought that when he revealed who he really was, I honestly that was going to fire the guy right then and there or at the very least demote him down to being a dishwasher or a busser or something like that.
I went to a Hooters a few years ago to watch a playoff game. I ended up having a pretty candid talk with my bartender who'd been working there for 7 years. On the one hand, she said she made incredibly good money and loved being a server. But she also said her managers were pervs, the cooks were dumb and/or ex-cons, and few of the other girls really care enough to work hard. But, she said, she makes $60,000 a year in tips alone, not including her salary. It truly is amazing what we will put up with for money.
Jimbo is beyond unacceptable and if it were my business, I would have immediately fired him! The fact that this CEO only required a verbal apology is disgraceful, I hope these girls file charges!
I don’t think it was disgraceful at all. He was being merciful. Giving second chances is absolutely graceful and admirable. But I agree with the person above me that once he refused to be apologetic even in the presence of his own boss? he should probably be let go…
File charges against who for what? What a joke. I swear, I'm getting real tired of first world children that get outraged every second of every day. Every single thing is the crime of the century with you weenies. _"DISGRACEFUL."_
This guy isn’t a manager, he is a creep who needs to be put on the Registry asap.

He took advantage of those women and he abused his authority as management. There’s absolutely no way ANY company should ever put a man like that in charge of people. He didn’t even apologize, he doubled down for a despicable reason- bragging that he makes more money when he tortures his staff into submission. Absolutely vile, and the CEO didn’t stand up to him for those women who weren’t allowed to stand up for themselves.
You hit it exactly! And now the CEO needs to be fired for such classless judgement for allowing the game to happen. Horrible and pathetic judgement. Each of those girls should be suing the shit out of hooters!
That is easy to say, if you are running a single store and can keep tabs on each employee.... this is a franchise restaurant, which means they allow people to purchase the rights to use their names and menu... Scums will take advantage of any situations....
Then again, kinda dumb no one realised why there's a filming crew.
I think he definitely would have intervened but he wasn't allowed to break character for the show or whatever. Kind of a lame excuse. That was awful to watch, hope those women are okay now
I agree
Disgusting behaviour. There might be a lot of hooters Manager who are acting like that He surely isn't the only one
Just like cops and priests sign up for jobs for a certain reason. I’m sure the men that choose to work at hooters are worse than any disrespect customer would even be.
3:51 Notice how Coby Brooks (the CEO here at the time) completely contradicts himself when he says "you can build profits all you want, that's not what I want. It's all about being respectful", and yet to keep Jimbo working there as a GM (when he should have been fired immediately) indicates the exact opposite attitude (it basically says "Well, I may not like your chauvinistic, bullying behaviour, Jimbo, but I sure like making money"). That's the *only* reason Jimbo didn't lose his job then and there like he should have, because he literally used the money excuse to show ZERO remorse for his behaviour 🤮
I am stunned that he was allowed to keep his job. He was more then disrespectful, he was a creep!! Hooters CEO is a part of the problem of misogynistic men like that by not having stepped in!
That this guy didn’t think that perverts would apply to be managers at a Hooters is beyond me
I’d say the dress code is a sign of what the CEO is into to begin with.
@@TheFirstAtom "I don't think he's clear on how the brand should be treated" I don't think the CEO has ever seen images aor advertising for the company he runs
He is very creepy indeed and makes me wonder what else he's gotten away with. He should never be allowed to work with the public.
Why is he not fired!? So wrong on so many levels.
POS!
Agreed.
Because the CEO shares the same mindset - it's just that he can't show that on camera.
@@axnlogix you know that for sure?
@@jamesdick2580 I mean it's a business predicated on objectifying women. yeah.
@@jamesdick2580 Has the CEO done anything to this day to change Hooters? Actions speak louder than words.
That manager is a pervert and a misogynic creep. I would never go to the restaurant/bar where he is a manager if I was a customer. It’s disgusting that the undercover boss didn’t fire him. He prioritize that kind of behaviour over employees. I hope that his business fails after this.
"Compliment her on her lack of nails!"
"Ewwwwww!"
Why is this man not fired? He didn’t apologize nor took any accountability for his actions. How bad does it have to get before the CEO will take proper action to let this man go
Exactly! And the CEO showed such poor judgement of not intervening that he too should be fired by the Board of hooters.
WHAT HAPPENED TO
HIM. HE NEEDS TO
JUDGE OTHERS!!!
LOOK AT "" HIM !!!!!
He didn't get fired, because this is fake. Reality TV has nothing to do with reality
@@Davek111 because the CEO is weak baby pretending to be a man
I don't think he can technically be fired easily because he owns the restaurant
"you made your girls eat beans like pigs at feed troughs to fight over who gets to leave"
That's about the only thing that should be said here
The CEO needs to be fired by their Board for allowing that game to take place. Totally disgusting!
maybe someone should refer this video to the hooters shop location, labor board of harassment etc.
Well they could have said No and not compete to leave work early. Why nobody talks about that option. Yes this was inappropriate and the CEO should have stepped in but also one of the girls could have said No.
@@sococomfort22s34 sometimes people need a job so that they can pay their bills and keep a roof over their head. People put up with a lot of bullshit because of their situation. Its not always as simple as refusing to do something, if you feel like doing so is going to result in you losing your job and potentially losing your home as a result.
@@morkins3243 Except this was to decide who got to leave, not stay. Plenty of other restaurants are desperate for experienced servers. And, no, I am not defending the manager's behavior.
Absolutely amazing.
An apology is nowhere near what should have been the outcome of that. The boss should have immediately stopped the bean eating contest before it even began.
If this is what he was completely open and proud of doing in front of cameras, imagine what he thinks he can get away with when no one's watching? It's disgusting that he wasn't fired immediately.
Or fired at all
i DON'T know the entire bean story and i'm NOT anti tobacco but INDOOR smoking SHOULDN'T have been allowed UNLESS it's a place like a low bob's tobacco that did does and/or PROBABLY will ALLOW INDOOR smoking
Dude was smiling while getting scolded and isn't even upset or feels bad. He's definitely gonna keep doing what he does
@Fee,
He understands his cow-orkers.
Everything he does benefits the corporation.
Must have seen his mother getting treated the same way.
Bro this is obv acted, any non American can see that lol
and tried to give bullshit excuses and walk arounds.
and that moron fell for it
@@largemarge1603 Wrong this type of behavoir likely to lead to a boycott, It doens tbenefit a business to create a negetive image, also I dont think he understands his co workers at all and acts like a creep
What this guy made those girls do so they could go home is disgusting
Lol when he said “ah” that killed me. He was probably having ptsd flashbacks to the beans and shit lol
That bean eating contest never ever should have happened. He should have been fired right there on the spot. Matter of fact, the moment he told the girl asking about making it to school that it didn't matter, that would have been the point for me.
Sounds like the Hooters resteraunts need to either shut down for being sexist or need to be re evaluated.
I have a strong feeling that the Boss undercoverly like what he's doing to them girls!
@@grapetree7219
That's the only explanation he could give on why the guy wasn't immediately fired.
That guy isn't fit to be a manager. Lawsuit waiting to happen. Deviant behaviour from a power mad bully. Bad combination.
Exactly! Every one of those girls should be suing the shit out of Hooters.... and the CEO who sat by and watched that game play out.
Spoiler alert: IT'S SCRIPTED
2:08 he looks so disgusted 😂😂
Not fired?....what a joke.
It's unfathomable to me that the CEO allowed this. To employ this man is to leave your business open to public backlash at best and a lawsuit at the worst.
Please tell me he was fired. His sexist disrespectful treatment of the girls is a HUGE liability to the company, and you just don't treat your staff like that.
He wasn't.
Hate to say this. But in the private sector bottom line takes precedence. Probably having a positive impact on walk in sales. Places like that are getting shut down left and right due to lack of demand. How do you keep customers coming in. it also says a lot about the type of customers they are attracting. in the end no matter how nasty disrespectful if it keeps the place open well . girls would be smart to get out .
He wasn't because the ones filming directed a lot of this to occur.
He Quit
@@seinfan9 Where's your proof?
"Heated confrontation" ???!! 😂😂😂
DISGUSTING! That so-called manager could cost that company money from the harassments law-suits headed their way. Fire him already............
No manager can treat their employees this badly for so long without consequences. I'm staggered that upper management haven't canned him before now.
Well it is fake, so....
he wasn’t canned at all
Script lol
It's also nearly 20 years ago. I remember seeing this while I was in high school which was a long time ago.
He wanted just an apology to the staff. Unreal.
Well, they didn't show everything, so I hope it was more. I would have demanded an apology as well as a promise that nothing like that would ever happen again. Even then, I'm not sure I would trust anyone capable of doing that in the first place.
20 years ago the culture was different but the CEO even then at his age knew what he was seeing was wrong.
@@charlieinabox1164 Your crazy you think 2002 was along time ago 20 years is yesterday lol
This was so disturbing I couldn't even watch at times. F being incognito for the show! He didn't even have to break character to tell him this was digusting!
"Ah" *Soul leaves body*
I'm a former SV/DV Advocate. We had a shocking amount of cases from Hooter's servers, including with management. I'm glad to see your management appears to care, but bottom line is this manager must make his numbers because they retained him. They'll be paying that out in lawsuits eventually, no doubt.
I hope they pay out in lawsuits over this behavior.
I am saddened, but not surprised, to see the lack of accountability of the men in this video. I'm a Forensic Psychology grad student & have worked with victims of sexual assault. We need to do better.
That CEO didn’t care, not one bit, or he would have immediately been fired. He asked for an apology, as if that’s somehow going to magically change this incel, sexist’s behavior or mindset. It obv didn’t, bc he doubled down on his “results”, and yet HE STILL KEPT HIM.
Allegation alone does not mean guilt.
@@boofgedder9809
Agreed.
1979-89, we owned a restaurant business.
Nearly three hundred cow-orkers simultaneously.
We made it fun for everybody.
2022, we would not hire any female at any time for any job... nor would we accept an application from any female.
His pride and hunger for power is getting in the way of how to be an effective manager. The dude refused to apologize to his staff, and used his, "it works," as a way to excuse his behavior.
Yes, it works, it's all about his need for power and ego.
The guy is exhibiting narcissistic behavior, he is toxic.
My thought is this guy is not only a pig, but he treats the women badly because he's an incel and it's his way of taking revenge on pretty girls who wouldn't give him a second of their time.
Money talks. Which is why the manager barely received a slap on the wrist.
What a disgusting creep. He 1000% gets off on controlling a group of young, beautiful, vulnerable girls

This CEO is a coward for letting that”reindeer game” play out in front of him.
As he explained, he could not break cover .. and his cover had no power to stop it.
It's as if you misunderstood the entire premise of the programme.
or maybe he was in on it? who knows? anywho i just made a video on this episode fam you should come peep!
@@Kyrelel I watched that show for years and CEOs did break cover a few times when they saw something they couldn't allow to happen happened.
There's just ppl coughing in the back hahaha
Often, making someone grovel with apologies is more humiliating to them than an outright and immediate firing.
The lack of harshness from the CEO is absurd. A lot of what the manager can be considered criminal. The CEO not immediately firing the manager but instead simply asking for him to apologize, and I assume he’d let him keep his job if he did so. The fact that all the CEO had to say was “the girls aren’t ALL premadonnas” and “they deserve a little more respect” is crazy af like “a little more respect” like thats all the issue was lmao..
I'm not surprised, it's hooters we're talking about here. The very identity of the company is greasy.
This stuff is staged.I know someone that worked on the undercover boss production crew for a season.Maybe “staged” isn’t the right word but it’s highly influenced by the writers to make it dramatic and entertaining.
I honestly think the CEO is nearly as bad as Jimbo, just in a less cartoonishly malevolent way. But I really didn’t expect any better from the CEO of fucking Hooters lmao.
Criminal? This is hooters. These waiters would give head for a dollar
If you allow the crime to happen in front of you while you can stop it… then you are guilty as much. CEO had to put an end to this disgusting thing
I’ve seen CEO’s break character before and this is one of those times he should’ve and intervened. Yes Jimbo should’ve been terminated on the spot to agree with other commenters.
This CEO sucks in particular tho. Literally gave him a slap on the wrist and just argued about whether or not all the girls are premadonnas and that all the manager had to do was apologize.
Yep like with the Checker’s manager. The CEO reveal was perfect.
Is this really how the staff at Hooters get treated??
I saw this on one of the compilations of worst bosses on undercover boss and this angered me so much! Honestly imo that guy should’ve been charged!!! And what’s even more appalling is he didn’t even get fired!
I would have broke character and FIRED that misogynist!! ON THE SPOT!! That is beyond degrading for a grown woman to be treated like that. I hope he was FIRED!!
Especially when he made them eat like pigs.
Now THAT is a misogynist. Not the bs that every feminist calls dudes nowadays.
And a narcissist.
When you work at a place called Hooters, you should be pointing to yourself in the mirror.
@@CZcamsCommenter1st I eat like a pig 🐖 sometimes.
"they're all primadonnas" ...what?they're literally out here working a job to pay the bills...
"they're all primadonnas"
That's probably his go-to phrase to demean ladies that won't go out with him and don't find him attractive.
Is that why they mashed their faces into plates of beans so they could leave early?
Manager seems like a real 2 Girls 1 Cup fan
CEO Should have not allowed this to go as far as it did. This is embarrassing.
I'm letting you know if I found out he was treating my daughter like that we'd have issues and he would not like the end of that story. I don't know where this is but it's a good reason for me to continue my long history of not eating at Hooters.
I agree with you I'd be on breaking news breaking Jimbo off with some brutal act right .
This dude really just said “No rules” to the CEO lmao
this is what every restaurant manager is like
The bottom line is this man is extremely emotionally abusive and that has no place in this type of position. The only position he should be in is one where he's by himself. He's a disgrace and unbelievably degrading to women. He's kidding himself by calling himself competitive. He's a loser. I hate that he wasn't fired. Those girls definitely should see if they can find a way to sue the company or the man or both. There's no possible way that employment laws would allow that.
Guarantee you if there wasn’t a crew filming, dude would’ve done way worse than just degrade them.
And the fact that the CEO let him until meeting day says everything about his lack of character as well.
@unscripted I would believe that, but I’ve met enough guys like this working customer service who don’t know when to shut up and think their inappropriate “jokes” like this are funny.
I think the cameras were hidden
@@asianguy6174 That’s not how filming these shows works. It says undercover, but they usually tell the person they’re being filmed for something else. Like “we heard you’re so good at your job, we want to see it in action”
So they know they’re being filmed
This is totally scripted for television. Based off of the position of the cameras and how they move around the people in the shot, you can tell they aren't hidden. Also, why in the hell would a manager not be on their best behavior when working at their job with cameras around? Sometimes my work has cameras on premise for corporate to make promotional videos. On days like those I am on my best behavior. So it's pretty obvious that undercover boss is fake
@@CVRogers17 See my previous reply lolz.
I’m not saying bits aren’t scripted. But guarantee you if someone told this guy to do what he normally does and complimented him just a smidge, he hammed it up
The fact that he didn't blow his cover and fire that creep on the spot is a slap in the face to the whole staff
The most disturbing aspect is this CEO didn't fire that manager. So his CEO standards are as grown men this is ok to do this to women. You stop the abuse from happening or YOU also are part of the problem. This CEO sat by and condoned that conduct on camera doing nothing. He should immediately stopped that manager and fired him on the spot. This is why I will never eat there or give them my money.
Quite frankly lmao more like SUPER MEGA DISRESPECTFUL
This is not ok. I feel like the CEO should’ve broke character in that moment
Dude is definitely a jimbo 🤣
If I was the CEO, I would have stopped it before the first girl put her face in the beans.
"... You're no better than they are." Best leadership words to live by.
The fact he wasn't fired on spot is very unnerving. Just because they work at Hooters does not make them objects for some creep. That's disgusting behavior and he should have been let go before those girls were humiliated and dehumanized like that. Smh. Do better.
Shocking. The food place thats oriented to objectifying women attracts employees who have no problem objectifying women!

Saying all men are like this is sexist. Do you see the irony in your comment? Crying about sexism while being sexist. Good job 👍🏼
I’m sorry you had to experience anything like that and also for the other comments
This man’s behavior is not about being “overly competitive”! It’s obvious that there is a deeper underlying issue at hand, and he is using his platform as a manager/supervisor to feed into his “sickness”. This was sick. There are plenty of men and women in the workforce who are as much, or more, competitor than this man, and do not behave in this manner. If the CEO did not want to dismiss this man, then, at the very least, he should’ve suspended him, and required that he go to counseling until further evaluation. In my opinion the CEO is disrespectful to these young women by not firing this man, and merrily smacking him on the hand making him “promise” that he’s going to apologize to them. This was disgusting.
Oh my God. After he was defending his actions, bossman should have yelled to get the fuck out. You're fired. These are not defensible actions. This was absolutely disgusting behavior. This is the exact kind of guy that would abuse his power for sexual favors. Not saying he did, but if he didn't he seemed like he was on the road there.
The top comment should be about how big of a CREEP this “man” is. He needs to be locked up somewhere before he hurts someone. He should have been fired. Not given a second chance. Fired on the spot.

The problem is that a lot of women take someone respecting them for granted. At the core of their being, they are dogs, and sometimes it's best to treat them that way. Jimbo has realized this.
I showed this to my boss at work(a former head manager at Twin peaks) She gasped in shock when she saw this. She said that workers at twin peaks would get fired just for saying creepy things about them
If he treats his employees like that, you can just imagine how he treats his S.O. or children.
I can't believe he allowed that so called game to actually take place ! 😡 He should have put a halt to it immediately and fired that manager on the spot , right in front of the staff ! No staff member should ever be treated in such a disrespectful manner !

I’m honestly surprised that he didn’t fire this guy,I would have,or at the very least I would have appointed another manager and made him a dishwasher or something.
He should have fired that guy several times during that couple min clip. The CEO should be fired for his lack of courage to step up and prevent those girls from being abused with the eating game bull shit.
Well,considering what he (the CEO)was doing at that time,it was actually a really good decision because otherwise the guy could have retaliated by warning the other locations about what he was up to.
I think this hooters is franchise. A CEO cannot fire a manager of franchise only the franchise owner.
Are you sure because I’ve seen the ceo of several different companies do that if the situation could effect the company to the point we’re they could start loosing either customer’s and/or staff because of what this person is doing,and if you remember,when he said he was having a hard time biting his tongue.I honestly thought that when he revealed who he really was, I honestly that was going to fire the guy right then and there or at the very least demote him down to being a dishwasher or a busser or something like that.
@@marycanary Sometimes I bite my tongue. Man, does it hurt.
I went to a Hooters a few years ago to watch a playoff game. I ended up having a pretty candid talk with my bartender who'd been working there for 7 years. On the one hand, she said she made incredibly good money and loved being a server. But she also said her managers were pervs, the cooks were dumb and/or ex-cons, and few of the other girls really care enough to work hard. But, she said, she makes $60,000 a year in tips alone, not including her salary. It truly is amazing what we will put up with for money.
This is from the 1st season of Undercover Boss you guys. Brooks has since resigned from Hooters after that episode in 2011
Jimbo is beyond unacceptable and if it were my business, I would have immediately fired him! The fact that this CEO only required a verbal apology is disgraceful, I hope these girls file charges!
Well, he may have tried to do more but the manager even balked and doubled down at that!
I don’t think it was disgraceful at all. He was being merciful. Giving second chances is absolutely graceful and admirable. But I agree with the person above me that once he refused to be apologetic even in the presence of his own boss? he should probably be let go…
They can't file charges because it's fake
