Better Call Saul is the prequel to the award-winning series Breaking Bad, set six years before Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) became Walter White's lawyer. When we meet him, the man who will become Saul Goodman is known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer searching for his destiny, and, more immediately, hustling to make ends meet. Working alongside, and often against, Jimmy is "fixer" Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks), a beloved character introduced in Breaking Bad. The series will track Jimmy's transformation into Saul Goodman, the man who puts "criminal" in "criminal lawyer."

If Gus ran a McDonalds, then the ice cream machine will never get broken
Probably a literal truth: reason those things break is that they require diligent maintenance and have a small margin for error. (They STAY broken because the manufacturer rigged the system to be the exclusive supplier and prevent franchises from effecting their own repairs.)
i honest to god have NEVER had an experience where the Mcflurry machine was broken😂😂😂.
I must be absurdly lucky
It would be too afraid to.
It’s only McDonald’s for some reason, and they don’t give ice cream at night. Other fast foods don’t do that
@@DemonofLight80 well McDonald’s deserve to have their machine break if they allow this to happen lol
Gus treating his employees better than every other restaurant and fast food place out there
Tbh being a drug lord is a more ethical job than being a CEO
All for the best quality of the product
I suppose from his perspective the restaurant itself did not need to make a profit. Even operating at a massive real-world loss is acceptable for a money laundering operation.
That should be the first signal that something fishy was going on Pollos Hermanos
No TikTok to distract them from doing their jobs back in 2002
I like how Gus actually has extremely high standards for how his business is run and seems to be a very demanding boss, but he's also polite and treats his employees with respect. He's the type of person to make you work hard but you wouldn't mind because he genuinely appreciates it.
That's the best kind of boss imo. A little humane treatment, patience, and understanding goes a long way.
I'm torn between "ah, but there's also" and "oh come on".
The chikka is a buffer and the smoother and more inclined to look the other way that buffer is, the more effective it is. Is Lyle going to get a bug in his butt and start poking through the books because he's bitter and feels under-paid? No. He's happy and claps for the man.
Does he use them by making them happy and the place a good one to work? Sure. But he's still using them.
"But gruhn, he doesn't actually have them do anything other than sell chikka." Exactly. That's all they do.
He's still hiding in plain view.
I think he actually respected a hard working civilian more than any cartel boss or dealer
Something I just noticed tonight. When he addresses the staff to start off the meeting and to apologize, he looks at Lyle a few times and holds his gaze. Then at the end when he promises that they will all prosper together, he looks at every single person except for Lyle. Nice little detail there. This actor really is just amazing.
Gus genuinely seems like a good boss.
Taking the crime out of the equation, he seems like he would stand up to a customer who was rude to his staff
Unfortunately for us in the real world, it's very easy to be a good boss when you don't have to worry about making money.
He holds them to a high standard and treats them with respect to further his actual business and establish himself as a pillar of the community.
@@Shemegory He never put any of the drug money into the fast food franchise. it was entirely successful and self sufficient by itself. Its why the drug half was so well hidden.
@@Shemegorythat’s the thing. He knows if the business front goes down it would hurt his actual business.
If a customer went viral screaming at one of his employees, he might end up strapping their to a turtle
@William Rogers Or with a plastic bag over his head... or maybe a box cutter
In truth Hector was terrified of Lyle, he just didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of his men
Eladio will be terrified of Lyle, hector ain’t anything..
It's always better to have Lyle on your side than in your way.
@@JamesRodriguez10783 I really think Lyle took over the drug empire after Walt’s downfall as drug kingpin.. maybe Walter jr was rising up and go head to head with each other..
Thats true. In truth, we are all terrified of Lyle.
@@JessicaGarcia-xf9wr One thing is for sure that if Lyle took over the drug business in ABQ, it would be Acceptable.
One small thing I see as realistic is how Gus parks all the way in the last spot.. saving closer spots for customers
the opposite of wal mart employees
He just doesn’t want his good Volvo all bumped up.
@@tylerphillips6523 It's first come, homie. Street rules
@@tonymahony7936 you ruined the moment 😅
@@DylanJo123 gay rules more like it
Gus does a great job of taking Lyle’s question,answering it without incriminating himself, and wrapping up the conversation before there’s anything else that can be said
Having a discussion in your mind while taking a shower be like:
@@trantuananh7523 No, I talk to myself out loud in the shower 😂
That man do be playing 4d chess. Also I like his excuse that its a cartel that extorted him when he opened up his first location. Then they border hopped just to extort him again. True actually police would probably laugh at that excuse but teens and young adults would probably get by on it.
If he didn't respond, he wouldn't be honest and it would go against the image he wants to give to his employees
None of the Mexican employees bought that bs story 😂
I hate how Hank slandered him after he was murdered by that old man who wanted his chicken recipe. The nerve of Hank to slander a good hard working man who treats his employees with respect and gives back to the community.
Oh do shut up you are so boring. Silly cont.
Can't say the same about his brother Fring Gus
Omg it's the god of GTA online
@@clydrexezekielalzate9707 it's Patrick Bateman!?!?!?
??
What's so terrifying about this scene is Gus is so kind and gentle to his employees but would kill any one of them if they interfered with his actual business.
The best crime boss is like that. His kindness and gentleness keeps his cover.
@@vlc-cosplayer technically in that scene it was "Don't speak at all and use a box cutter in well timed fashion"
@@paulrogers00
Those that fail to keep up the act more likely gets caught and killed.
Yeah even go so far to kill children
These people are not in the game 😏
I used to work at Los Pollos Hermanos. We had some legendary parties one summer. I even saw Mr Fring leading a conga. I refuse to believe he was this big crime boss everybody’s saying he was. RIP Mr Fring. Never forgotten.
I think i've seen this comment before...
Found Lyle’s account
@@klmknop top sub-comment
I’m glad that you lived up to acceptable Pollos standards, Lyle
copied but i dont care so yeah
2:13
A question that if Gus had answered any other way, Lyle would've ended the Cartel. Don Eladio, Hector, the twins, all of them. Gus' smooth words saved a lot of lives in this scene.
I started laughing just thinking about it
… such a ridiculously hilarious comment🤣
They call him “El Lechero” down in Mexico he’s trying to start his life over working for los pollos hermanos
They took from him his chicken, and at that point there was nothing more that could be done, for he was about to take from them, _everything._
I wanna see a buddy badass movie with Lyle and Mike teaming up
Ik it's already been said to death, but you really gotta admire how Gus is essentially a perfected version of Walter White, and this scene shows that perfectly. Where Walter struggled to keep his two lives separated, Gus almost feels like two spirits inhabiting one body depending on who he's speaking to; one being the wholesome chicken man, and the other a stoic drug kingpin. I really like his character
Said to death?! I guess in a way, yeah, but this is also by far the only original comment of the first like 50 top comments
If you rearrange the letters of Gustavo Fring's name, you get the words "Favoring Tugs." Think about that.
I think the difference is that Walt wanted to be both the family man and the drug kingpin, he saw it as a balancing act. Gus simply is not anything other than the drug kingpin, everything else is a cover, there is no dissonance between those two selves because there are no two selves, just a convenient disguise that Gus would drop were it ever the intelligent move.
For me, the difference was the time Walt had. He made all those dumb rash decisions because he has at best two years to live and decades worth of repressed regret and egotism. It made Walt a wild card that would not lose until he lost.
What I like is it almost feel though having to balance that Gus really doesn’t have anything underneath he seems almost like a robot . Soulless , just following a great formula , it makes him that terrifying on the surface he is a great guy but on the inside cold mechanical
Cant believe Lyle has so much authority that even Gus had to apologize to him and his chicken brothers.
Those who fear Lyle are smart.
Who is Lyle btw ? Or it’s just a joke ? Didn’t see the series :(
@@Billy_Herrington__ He's the danger
@@Billy_Herrington__ the guy who keeps constantly giving Gus a cold stare.
@@Billy_Herrington__ he is the one who knocks
I love the fact they actually showed him to be a really good boss who treated his workers well. It made him more likeable in spite of the fact we know he commits a lot of evil actions
*more human not likeable.
being a good boss who treats his workers well is vital for him to keep up the act.
Its part of his cover just like all the charities
when gus fring is more of a human being than elon musk
@@Pedro-xz6wt well he actually treated his criminal workers also quite well.. Walter/Jesse just didn't work with him.
What people actually forget is that when you treat your employees with respect, you get respect back. You don't have to be overwhelmingly nice or do anything at all. Give them space to learn and do their work. Don't knit pick on every little thing. But many managers aren't aware of this and think they have to mold you into something you're not.
Tell me about it, and they constantly take that snotty attitude of “You’re not irreplaceable, you know!”.
@@princessmarlena1359 most workers in the fast food industry are replaceable, unless they're decent and/or experienced workers, then they're slightly less replaceable
@@d8dknee8rjdje8 ironically they tend to call them on their days off, demanding employees come in at the last moment because someone didn’t show up for their shift (and not just recently).
@@d8dknee8rjdje8 believing their replaceable is what causes bad service and issues. All employees in a group create unique dynamics which create better service and delivery. mistreatment or behaving as if any of them are expendable damages the business. The only perspective which it benefits is extreme short term, self-indulgent business practices which aim to make the next quarter bigger even if it burns the entire franchise down in the long term.
@@tenjenk i understand I worked in food service for many years, and the restaurant is only as good as the workers. Hard workers in these industries ARE hard to come by, but not because the work is difficult to learn. Most anyone can get a fast food lower level job and become autonomous in a week. They're hard to come by because most people who work hard get out of the trap that is the food industry
My theory is that most of the employees have caught on what's going on behind the facade of the restaurant but they don't care because they know they have zero chance to find another boss this compassionate and professional in the same field
He chose the Al Capone route.
"You're paying above minimum wage, you treat us with respect, you aren't above working the register, AND you know when to bribe your own employees? Loyal til the day I die, Mr Fring!"
I highly doubt that. I never really know anything behind the scenes of the McDonalds' outlet that I currently work at.
@@captainmarvelwilson508 no offense to you but some people are pretty perceptive and catch on to stuff easily/quicker then others, if some guy barged his way in and acted like he owned the joint with 2 other guys guarding the exits I would assume something is going on at the workplace
@@KaiserDaChoom I feel like they suspected (especially Lyle), but they trusted Gus.
Hector is lucky Lyle was in a good mood that day.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lyle looked as if he could handle the smoke.
Lyle could vaporize Hector with a quick blast from his laser eyes. Hector was lucky.
Besides the whole drug-kingpin, throat-cutting, cartel-leader-poisoning thing, Gus seems like a hell of a boss
His perfectionist personality makes him a good boss. Also portraying himself as nice removes all doubt about who he could be.
He's a pillar of the community
Well Victor would beg to differ.. but only if he was alive 😅
I wouldn't mind if he was my boss
I mean he must be a dick as a druglord, lets be real if you are living that life of drug dealer you will expect the harsh treatment Gus gives
Now to the innocent Pollos Hermanos employer he is decent as they dont assigned to be anything else than that
There is something interesting about Gus' facial expression towards the end when his employees clap. He almost looks surprised and even uncomfortable at first but then appears to relax and become somewhat content. I'm guessing this is one of the few times in his life he has received support and praise not out of fear or submission, but instead from genuine admiration for his words and actions (despite the narrative being mostly a lie). The employees had no reason to believe they should fear Gus and I think Gus realizes their approval is different from that of someone who knows his power and that he could choose to end their life at a moment's notice.
I think there is a part of Gus that wishes his "fake" life with Los Pollos was his real life.
Admiration given out of respect is always better than given out of fear.
The mexican employees seem more skeptical of his tale.
@@skylinefootball Haha, no cap. Cartels don't chase after restaurant owners over years, especially across the border unless something is happening behind closed doors.
Despite Gus being the most ruthless kingpin on this side of the Rio, he’s an excellent example of management. Direct, fair, personable, and professional.
And dishonest.
id want him to be my manager!
Agreed except for when he forced Lyle to clean a deep fat fryer repeatedly
Gus has such a way of speaking with hardened, bloodthirsty criminals, no wonder he was able to tell Hector off so easily, seeing how he's already seemingly tamed Lyle
I honestly never saw Lyle as all that threatening.
@@cdavidlake2 Lyle is more dangerous than lalo ever was. The only man gus ever feared was Lyle
@@cdavidlake2 That's the genius of it. On the surface, Lyle is quiet and insecure. But beneath it all, he's a bloodthirsty monster ready to disembowel you in a moment. He's just like Lalo, with his facade of big smiles and friendly personality, only Lyle's far less pretentious about it, and far more dangerous.
KOMI FLAG PFP???!!!! TNO REFERENCE????????!!!!!!!
@@cdavidlake2 You're a fool then
You can see the anger and rage in Lyle's face as Fring was talking about kicking out the Salamanca's and sending them back to Mexico. Lyle was ready to go to war for Los Pollos. Now that's an assistant manager we can all look up to.
Facts!🔥👌🏻
Now you have gave me mental picture of Lyle with a shotgun in full Pollos Hermanos uniform raiding the Salamanca's compound 🤣🤣🤣🤣
^assistant to the regional manager
I always thought his face was like that because he was suspicious of Gus
@@risingstar1309 bro looks like he wants to open na noor
Los Pollos isn't just an affront for Gus, it's a mental escape. Deep down he wishes for the simple life, he wishes he wasn't a criminal, but he can't, the underworld demands his function and loyalty.
He doesn't consider himself a criminal.
@@tatianalyulkin410 …what could have possibly given you that impression? That couldn’t be further from the truth but I’m curious to hear you out
@@tatianalyulkin410 I think he 100% understands that he is a criminal.
@@tatianalyulkin410 No, he does. 100%. When Walter meets him to tell him that he wants out, he says "I am not a criminal. No offense to anyone who is, of course..." and you see Gus' expression change slightly.
@@lilmane1070 His conversation with David at the wine bar. Gus is genuinely interested in him and in the life that he could have with him. But then when David leaves to go get the wine bottle, Gus' druglord persona takes over, and he leaves, knowing it can't go further. But for a moment you can see there's a glimmer of humanity in him. I think on some level, Gus wants to just be a respected businessman, a pillar of the community, in a happy relationship.
I think Gus genuinely cares about his employees because they give him some semblance of living a normal life which was something we can see he actually longs for in S6E9. But it was already far too late for him to stop.
Interesting point.
The most unrealistic thing about this scene isn't that the chicken guy is secretly a notorious and ruthless drug kingpin. It's that the restaurant hires enough staff to have 3 people in the lobby. Like, can you imagine? They must close so fast.
It makes sense, he wants everything done by clockwork and he can afford to hire the extra people because Los Pollos isn't where his money comes from.
Honestly, I'm highly suspicious of fast food places that run a bit too well.
Tax evasion 101 mate: always lose money
And that is the Kilian Experience
I once worked for a place that did have 3 people in the lobby at once. It was only for the first few months after the place opened while everyone’s schedules were worked out though. Definitely unrealistic otherwise.
Makes his reputation better if he provides employment to the community.
Gus Fring: polite, bookish, nerdish, seemingly harmless - all a disguise for a terrifying menace. The guy is one of the greatest TV villains ever.
You mean Lyle? Surely, you mean Lyle right?
I think you mean sociopath...
Nerdish just because he wears glasses? Man please.
Villain? Walt's the freaking villain! Change my mind.
@@yesuhaydin8510
There's an old episode of The Flintstones cartoon show when Fred and Barney cross paths with some bad guy and another pair of guys. They're all at different odds. When the first guy reveals himself as the villain, Barney asks: "Wait! I thought they were the villains!"
The guys responds: "So? Is there a law you can't have two villains?"
That was a clever little show. Loved it.
This is why Gus is such an incredible villain. He has so much charisma and presents himself in such a friendly and unassuming manner that you almost forget who Gustavo Fring truly is. Giancarlo Esposito was truly perfectly cast and did a truly impeccable job.
Lyle claps and everyone joins in, Gus was smart to hire such a good worker who had the respect of all co-workers.
Its so nice to see Lyle standing after his back injury from carrying better call saul, breaking bad, Slippin Jimmy, and el camino
The final episode of BCS will be a full Lyle episode, just you all wait.
@@cactusmalone man of culture🗿
Was he in El Camino?
The most impressive thing Lyle ever did was working back-to-back doubles with no notice.
@ˈxoɾxe deɰʊsˈman I've done it in the past and its no fun. You literally just wake up and go to work all day long then go home and go to sleep and do it all over again.
He played the “ This is America” card to perfection.
All while keeping in touch with the corporate America PR language of compensation and superficial offers of support when something tragic, or sad happens. And underneath it all of course being no different than the thugs who went into his restaurant.
What a well written character and great actor.
@@aglis_ one of the best of all time, no doubt.
I don't know a little too on the nose there, almost cliche. Up until then I was really looking forward to how he was gonna talk his way out of this.
@@aglis_ smart
He played the victim card ,then added 'MERICA !!!
Gus being unironically a good person to his employees is something i always love
I love how Gus is basically telling the truth about his relationship with the Salamanca's, just replacing his actual business of dealing drugs with his fake business of running a restaurant chain. But other than that, he explained exactly what the situation was.
to lie without lying
I don’t know much about this show, but the tie dude sound like a perfect liar according to your description
One thing I find interesting about Gus is that in both of his double lives he commands a lot of loyalty from his workers. His workers at Los Pollos seem to be very dedicated to him, as are his henchmen in his criminal enterprise. He's like a military commander who is beloved by his soldiers.
According to many theories online, he was a former military officer in Chile during the Augusto Pinochet era.
@@mvfc7637 yup. I really was hoping we would see what happened in Santiago in season six. But it seems impossible now. Gus spinoff maybe? But it seems very unlikely
@@beepy409 I’ve seen rumor’s online about a possible Gus spinoff, however, the actors are getting old and it’s difficult to suspend disbelief when you’re trying to believe a character is in his late 20’s etc when he looks like he’s in his sixties.
@@mvfc7637 yea that's why I think it's unlikely. It just sucks that they dangled what he did in-front of us for so long and we will likely never get any conclusion. I'm greedy, I like all loose ends to be tied.
@@beepy409 me too, he’s such an enigmatic character that you’re compelled to try and discover everything about him, for example, we know Saul’s backstory via Better Call Saul and also Mike’s, yet, not much light is shed on Gus backstory in Better Call Saul despite him being one of the main characters, maybe, they’ll try and produce a film on Gus’ time in Chile just so they can tie up the loose ends.
I lowkey wish there was a real Pollos Hermanos with this level of professionalism and cleanliness and a boss like Gus. We already know he gave out scholarships, he was a pillar of his community.
There's a place like that where I live - a certain local pizza joint. And the customers PAY for that level of professionalism. Most expensive joint in town. But the parking lot is always full.
There's a place like that in my place. They're a burger joint better than McDonald's and all selling Breaking bad themed burgers
@@symbian9874 Ive yet to have that experience. Thats why i no longer dine at big Franchise fast foods. I do small pubs and food trucks for a quick bite. Because the experience is more personal. No Madrigal Corporation lurking in that shadows
Well as long as you don't mind the overt homophobia, Chik-fil-a is pretty good.
@@ldbboosha We you woke gotta lie?
I love how Gus doesn't involve his civilian workers or staff, and always ensured that they felt safe and happy.
Unless they're kids
What a great boss, coming in to personally apologise and even give them extra money for what they endured. Gus Fring is a good man
No, he's not; he's a terrible person.
Lol “good man”
He's a saint.
He's a drug dealer so he can afford it.

@@zizoumonk10 [edit: Looks like you've added a "please" since getting negative feedback but your original post only said "Prove it."] for what reason would you like OP to "prove it?"

Believe OP or don't, but IMO it's just a little bit rude to go around saying "prove it" to everyone you don't happen to believe, no?
Are you up to los pollos standards
Gus really lives up to what he said in the last training video: "Under Los Pollos, you are under my protection".
Yes. I am willing to risk my life for a front.
I honestly think it’s kind of sweet how much Lyle admires Gus. I feel like he wants to be like him in the future.
A beautifully written scene, beautifully acted. We, the audience, are aware of the profound ironies, but Gus' performance (and Esposito's) is so sincere, that his employees can't help but be affected and moved to loyalty.
Gus may be a cold, unfeeling maniac, but he genuinely seems to care about the los pollos hermanos employees.
He cares about standards and won't do anything without giving it his all. He gives back what he expects. In a later episode he has one of his bodyguards working the fryer undercover fired because he wasn't keeping up with the rest of the staff.
no he has to keep up the pretense of being an excellent boss and chain owner, he is not being nice because he cares, he is super manipulative
I don't think he does it all. I don't think Gus really cares about anyone except for Max. All of this talk is just to keep up appearances
@@adorno_gang37 - We’ll never know, but your theory is more in keeping with Gus’ thinking and strategy. If an employee is unhappy, that could cause problems that might involve the police. Also, Gus donated to a DEA charity, which should have raised eyebrows, but those guys weren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer.
@@thetooginator153 why would him donating be sus ?
He treats his workers well because he knows how to conduct sound business.
Appreciated and well paid workers are happy workers. Happy workers are loyal and dedicated workers.
The reason so many modern fast food places have bad food is because the bosses are insecure bullies who have no spine and bend to corporate influence.
Gus knows how to run a business efficiently.
@@eireannemerald1382 everyone else is saying that’s superficial, tf else is he supposed to do ? Tf else would they want?

@@connorlynndan2415 what’s your point bud?
No, you do realize this business is a front for his drug operation? It doesn't operate under the same rules as a genuine fast food business, it doesn't need to make a profit and it wouldn't if it paid it's workers more than other chains,he also needs to keep staff turnover low. If it was a genuine business it would close.....
I dunno, I heard he had a really talented cook once that he didn't treat so well
4:01 Lyle’s expression….did not catch that the first time. Now I know what the new spinoff will be
Better Dial Lyle!
"Mr. Fring, give me the names and I'll supply the bodies by tomorrow evening."
That shot at 0:19 of Gus through the window coming into view is another example of those little touches that make this show so remarkable.
In such a cutthroat industry, it would be mind-blowingly awesome to work for such an open-minded guy like Gus! His face really rings a bell though…
He's such an explosive guy sometimes tho, he can switch from serious to happy in a fraction of a second, like a two-face sort of thing.
Which side of his face?
Omg god im dying 🤣
Ding, ding, ding …
That's because now he's the CEO of Vought! Crazy right?
Would pay money for a scene of Lyle seeing the news reports of Gus being a drug lord
🙂
It would be nice if he turned out to be to Gus what Jesse is to Walter
Why did they never do that? I know these employees were a small part of these shows but it still would be interesting.
I want that whole spin off
Better dial Lyle
Lyle wanted a greenlight to go after them.
Giancarlo is such an amazing actor. He's working on two different levels with this character. He can shift between a charming, charismatic nice guy and a ruthless, menacing villain at the blink of an eye. And he portrays each version of Gustavo with elegance that you don't even know as an audience member which side to believe is the real him.
The beggining of the video has the same vibe when you get into an argument with a close person, and you have to live with them while under quiet conflict
We all know gus is a good boss but i've got to say the food at los pollos actually looks pretty legit. can't remember the last time i saw someone chopping an actual vegetable at a chain restaurant.
Thats where your logic is flawed. It's not a burger joint. 💯
@@michaelmcgee2026 yeah nah I wrote that comment pretty sleep deprived, I’ll change that to just “chain restaurant”
El Pollo Loco does. It's a fast food chicken place with freshly made ingredients and stuff like that. Their chicken is grilled though, never fried.
I always thought it looked like food from El Pollo Loco.
@@Garbageman28 all good. Just jumped on the opportunity to troll.
Imagine finding out that the owner of your favorite fast food joint is a massive drug lord & not only that, but your high school chemistry teacher was ALSO, a massive drug lord lol
That’s just New Mexico…
This shows how much Fring respected his workers, especially those who aren’t involved in the criminal empire he built. He likely paid and treated them better than most commercial fast food chains would. He even had the decency to have them paid for the whole day and let them leave early to protect them from Hector and his men. 24 hours overtime pay is also a more than generous gesture. Fring had the perfect cover for his empire and knew how to solidify it well before Heisenberg came into the picture
as drug kingpin, it's pennies on the thousands of dollars
give employees no reason to question or resent any further
in mexico it's called "plomo o plata" [lead or silver]
A truly brilliant actor Giancalo Esposito is. He's impeccable.
He is... Acceptable.
His spanish is his only flaw tbh
@@fxintegratedx considering he accepted to play as Gus or El Presidente, he probably likes his spanish. And, to be fair, there are WAY worse actors that try to speak spanish

I gotta hand it to him, Gus is a damn good boss. Like, even though he's done some pretty horrendous stuff, he still cares very deeply for all of his employees. Despite all the disrespect he's been given by the Salamancas, them coming and intimidating the Los Pollos Hermanos crew seemed to really get under skin.
Imagine knowing your boss is actually a crime lord but he still treats you with the utmost respect
24 hours of overtime for processing the trauma and arranging counseling? Gus has my vote.
I think in most fast food jobs you’d be lucky to go home early after that incident and your boss would call it a favor.
ikr
I worked next door to a bar that was robbed at gunpoint an hour after we went home a few years back.. wonder what they were offered ?
I don’t recall McDonald’s doing that when my cousin had a shotgun in his face during a robbery…
There are certain actors who elevate every role they play. Though Giancarlo Esposito isn’t as diverse as Don Cheadle or William H. Macy - he was always Angry Loud Educated Black Man when younger and Mr. Proper Iceman when older - GE definitely makes that list.
@@FantasyVisuals there was a story in the news a year or two ago, there was a bar making the robbed employees sign an agreement to pay back the money that was robbed from them
@@Btobebone I'd tell them straight " receive this " ( extends middle finger ) That's what insurance is for ( losses and theft ) so the employer is literally committing fraud ( a criminal offense ) Damn I'm good....... Bob OdenKirk's got nothing on me 🍿

Wow, from a manager of los pollos Hermanos, to ceo of vought international. What an amazing feat for this business man
I worked at Los Pollos Hermanos as a teenager and Mr Fring was the greatest boss I ever had. I don't believe all the news stories that came out about him, I believe that Walter White was simply jealous of the explosive deals that we offered and set up Mr Fring.
I like Gus's story that Hector and his henchmen were just some Mexican thugs who threaten businesses for money, who actually followed one of their marks across the border into the US instead of just finding another target... Doesn't really make any sense whatsoever, so Gus gives an inspirational "Go USA!" speech and everyone's satisfied lmao 😂😂
Notice how Gus admits to a 'shameful' act when he says he paid the thugs protection money back in Mexico. If he admits to that, surely the rest of his story can be trusted as well. Just another example of Gus understanding that it's not just what you say, it's how you say it.
@@Rher_the_Moon I don't think they believed him, they just didn't want to get into trouble. No sane person with a job wants to be involved in criminal conflicts and get thier life threatened.
@@hyperthalamus9278 why is it unbelievable? the italian mafias used to do the same thing until just a few decades ago. and i'm sure at least some street vendors in la do the same thing with mexican gangs.
@@Rher_the_Moon That's not quite so unrealistic. Cartel soldiers operating in the US are subject to a few more risks than in Mexico so a suicidally brave businessman could scare them off by doing things like having allies who would contact the authorities with more evidence. Criminals use call-in tips to get revenge quite often so it isn't so strange that a victim would also use it. The story also has the verisimilitude that a person's reactions change with geography.
It isn't an unbelievable story. It is just not the truth.
@@Rher_the_Moon he was paying his employees $500+ each to believe the story.
“I promise you that together we will prosper”
*Walter enters the restaurant
The way Gus walks towards the restaurant is so innocent with the way he walks and his hand mannerisms. You could really tell that he's in his 'other' personality
This was the exact moment when Lyle became Employee of the Year
I always liked Lyle as a character,so trustworthy and caring.We could see that Gus trusts him so much that he hands over the restaurant to Lyle when he was injured.
0:42
The fly still escaped the staff's alertness... and most of all, Lyle's.
It is unacceptable.
Last week i went to go los pollos hermanos and i see there after gus’ passed away Lyle promoted to new boss. I am very happy for Lyle. He always deserve it. Before i leave restaurant he was saying “ Unacceptable” to one of his employee. Probably it wasn’t serious. We love los pollos hermanos and chickens 🐓 🍗
It's weird how easily I can forget the evil things he does and have a sudden respect for him. Even while he's lying to his employees.
God, I genuinely love the friendly demeanour Gus puts on lol.
Gus Fring is a truly inspiring immigrant story. To come from nothing only to end up running a chain of incredibly successful businesses, and refusing to be intimidated by even the most dangerous criminals. Honestly courage like that blows me away.
I love how Gus realizes it’s best to apologize once Lyle gives him that weird double take look, IDK if he would’ve apologized if he didn’t see that but still, I believe Gus really respected Lyle, i mean he was working there since “Better Call Saul”
Even though Gus may be a drug Lord he does seem to care for his young employees
a drug lawwd? are you sure of this? Then our worst fears have been realized...
He is not mike, he isnt interested if you're in the game or not, he simply doesnt want them tattle tailing and messing up his money laudering businnes.
@@theterribleanimator1793 being a good boss is an excellent way to get witnesses in your favor
*Fry cook quits*
Lyle: "I've been watching these guys everyday, we're not missing no damn cook"
Gus: *gets the boxcutter*
@@tylerchambers6246 oh I'm sorry I just thought Gus cares for his employees
Lyle is the most loyal associate of Gustavo's operation.
I thought I was an actor, but this is what real acting looks like. Gus, a coldblooded mobster, acting like a regular fast food restaurant manager. I think he even impressed himself here.
This is why Gustavo is a great character. He shows great passion to his employees and understands they are just like everyone else. I think they remind him of his old partner, which is why he treats them with such respect.
That speech bought a tear to my eye. God Bless America.
i would vote for Gus if he ran for president
@@kylestephens9593 Seeing Giancarlo's performance in Far Cry 6 as a dictator. I wouldn't mind being enslaved

all of these amazing clips is making me want to watch the series again xP
This Gus fellow seems like a great boss!
Bless his heart for treating his employees right!
I love how you know all of those employees are probably really exceptional at their job. The place may look just like any other fast food place but through Gus' character and his strictness on who he chooses it brings character to those people.
Never seen this show, but the boss seems like such a good person and an inspiration. Really moved by his story
That girl next to Lyle does a good job in showing how scared and traumatized she is. Great acting.
Gus be treating his employees well cause he knows they are doing an *acceptable* job
I love how none of the employees think it's odd that the proprietor of a fast food joint has the oratory skills of Cicero. IRL the GM of your average fast food restaurant has about as much charisma as the neck beard from the World of Warcraft South Park episode...
I think the difference is that he isn't some two bit manager, he owns the franchise. He is more like the McDonald's CEO working in one of their stores.
Gus is not a manager, he literally the CEO of Pollos Hermanos.
@@craftedteens Fair point but as someone who worked in food service during college and had District Managers and the franchise owners visit our location several times (during a couple weeks a year we were the county's most busy franchise location) I can attest at that "leadership seniority" level those gentlemen also possess negative charisma. I'm still scarred by the cringe of a metaphor our DM was trying to convey comparing "excellent customer service" to the animation in Who Framed Roger Rabbit...
I worked at a Wendy's back in high school, and while hardly Gus (a talented actor performing some of the best written dialogue on TV), my manager there was very competent and professional. In my years since then, in a number of other businesses, I've rarely had better managers, either better at their job or simply better people.
He’s more like Ray Kroc, colonel Sanders or Dave Thomas from Wendy’s. And all those guys where super charismatic and smart enough to build fast food empires from nothing.
Love how Gus parks his vehicle far from the restaurant to make space for customers. Subtle details like that is what made BB and BCS such great shows.
I had a coworker/friend get turned into goop by an auger that he fell into, my boss at the time deadass called a meeting and said “I know we’ve had a tragedy & we’re all somber, but we do still expect all of you to be here tomorrow bright and early.” It’s nice to know I’ve worked for people with less compassion for human life than fictional drug lords.
Shoulda pushed the boss into the auger
I feel really sorry for those employees. They don’t know a thing about what their boss does outside of the restaurant. I’m surprised none of them were killed by Gus’ enemies.
Lyle was the perfect employee 😂
He is sooo perfect that they should be rename it as Lyle Pollos Hermanos 😁🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@manujohn99 😂exactly
@@manujohn99, 😂most definitely
He should have had Lyle with him in the streets. He might still be alive.
Gus has always taken care of every employee even the infamous Heisenberg
This version of Gus Fring knows the difference between being a boss and being a leader. He knows when and where to play those roles and therefore inspires loyalty. I am sure there is no one on his "civilian" staff that would think to ever disappoint Mr. Fring.
It so tragic to here about Mr. Fringe's passing from the gas leak at the hospital while visiting his uncle.
As a boss he's always challenged the words we'd use in break room scrabble and gave us severaI personal gifts to reflect how we did during the hours we worked. And I am forever grateful that the book he sent through the mail made me into a professional writer. Hopefully this script I wrote of his life will be good for this director that I wanna get to look at it.
Vince Gillian is a very weird but perfect name for a director. R.I.P Senor Fringe
Having Gus as a boss would make working food service almost worth it
I like that Gus is super protective of the Los Pollos Hermanos staff. He treats them with the utmost respect and dignity. Unless, of course, they try to get involved in his other dealings...
Hector was just lucky Lyle was in a good mood and didn’t call Huell for backup
Lyle doesn’t need back up
