Undercover Boss - Freshii S3 E8 (Canadian TV series)

- Опубликовано: 2 янв 2014
- Freshii has captured the market in healthier, fresh, fast food. Boss Matthew Corrin opened his first store in 2005 and now he has 80, around the world. But when he dares to work undercover in his own Canadian franchises, he makes surprising discoveries. One worker literally rubs salt in his wounds when he struggles to cut up tomatoes.[32]
The former CEO of Japan Airlines significantly cut his own wages to avoid downsizing employees and cutting into their pay when profits were down. He took the bus to work, wore affordable suits and ate his lunch in the staff cafeteria like everyone else. he also took the time to interact with his staff on a personal level.
I do not see any undercover "bosses" prepared to do anything close to that level of awesomeness.
I've watch that and he was also asked to react to CEO's being grilled in congress for getting such a big fat checks.
@@egykilenckilenchet So out of everything he typed you decided to ask about that specific part.
MashAllaah🧡🧡🧡🧡☺️
@@egykilenckilenchet You can send a clear signal to your employees and promote better work morale that way, which in turn can improve business. A lot.
@@egykilenckilenchet Your correct this is in the millions, the CEO of a worldwide airline company would have been payed MILLIONS so cutting down on his wage did make a difference.
that franchisee wanting quality over speed from a newer worker is exactly the kind of person who you want as a franchisee
i love how passionate his employees are! they are incredible... they are the very reason why his company has done well and was successfully growing...
Ori made me cry. As an immigrant I relate so much to what she says and what she shared about her life ❤️ I wish her the best
this is the first episode of undercover boss that i have seen where every employee deserved their own franchise, they are all hardworking, loyal to the company, know the business inside and out and are committed to seeing the company succeed even though they could easily leave for another job
Definitely agree
@D but they have good kind hearts and work hard for their money, they would be good successful business people
This guy totally got into character more than any other CEO. I gotta give him credit for that. All the others just rely on the disguise to appear different.
Brian Hayne true but being so dedicated to his character was initially becoming counter productive on his goal to get a true sense of things because his character was distracting.
maybe overdone a little to the point people hated him and by association the brand
LOL yeeaahh, "character"...🙄 lmao!
Tbh I don't buy the character thing. Watch his face when they're doing prep on the first day. I think he legitimately was getting frustrated and just used that as an excuse for his attitude.
I think he used it as a way of taking things easy as he'll never have to do it again. Can't believe it, he takes one week off from his cozy morning slippers & infinite time with his family and he still pussies out, treats it like a game instead of actually observing the lives of these poor people. And he doesn't even give a shit about the whole theme of the company it's all marketing to him. Those same mom & pop shops that inspired him are the ones he's putting out of business with some of daddy's seed money and his big fucking mouth
Whether these shows are fake or real, they really make me feel humble. The struggles that others go through really puts things into perspective.
They are not fake!

If you actually scratch under surface of the premise for this show it's kinda concerning that CEOs don't realise their staff are humans until they work literally next to them... And they don't realise how badly paid their staff are until they're told that "as a stranger"... Be great if companies could just be nice to their employees without having to make a TV show about it!
They do know how badly their employees is being paid. CEO is the one making the decision how much employees get paid.
Not only that, but they never work with bad employees, only good ones, so they're obviously choosing them in advance so they have something to reward, just to make the company look good. It's marketing, not company improvement. If they legitimately cared about improvement they'd have been taking employee feedback seriously the entire time
Exactly
They go and do advanced research on all of these locations and their employees. The show plays on the premise that CEOs don't know how much their employees are getting paid. They work with a good ones mainly so that they have a sob story, and can give the well deserving employees a raise, as it's probably a prerequisite for being on the show. They also do work with the bad employees. You see them get reprimanded, and even fired sometimes on these shows. I've been in business owner for 10 years, and I know exactly how much all of my employees are getting paid... They get paid more than me. Not only do I take on major risk with this company, most of the money the company makes goes right back into growing the business so I can hire more employees, and give raises to my existing employees. That's not easy. I literally took a huge pay cut 10 years ago, and have only given myself a raise once. CEOs can be a little different as they may just be appointed, but this guy started the business. He's sharp. He knows more than what they let on. All that being said, I'm not sure I like the guy, but look at how many people he is giving a paycheck to. To how many people do you give a salary?
It was 6 am and he was taking his dog for a walk.. while she was at work making him money… and he never called her back about a life altering promotion..
He is so lucky to have workers that are so dedicated to high quality service and hard work.
In a fast food company, no less.
A great testimony to how amazing our immigrants and refugees are. We are lucky to have them.
I hope they love Canada and Canadian as much as you like them
@@SpicyRess808they don't. If you approach them even Indirectly they'll talk shit about how Canada sucks and we can't do anything about their presence.
This man became a straight up villain when he put on that outfit. Very interesting origin story.
Yes, I don't think his work attitude was necessary.
Katie: I weighed 170 before Freshii, now I weigh 130.
Ethan/Matthew: You lost 50 lbs ?
Me: No, bro, the difference between 170 and 130 is 40, not 50.
and he is a CEO
@@hamana2011 a CEO who didnt had math classes in his education
She said 180
@@directmerchandiser5415 she said 170. Re Watch at 10.13
he needed to be dumb or he might have blown his cover.
Also - That 18 year old should be given her own store and amount per month towards whatever she thinks would benefit the business. (Customer Reward programs, Advertising/marketing etc)
It's great being a great dad and working hard... You also need to be a good boss who treats and pays his employees well
Damn!!! $600 !! When I was living in Toronto we were paying $1300 and we were barely getting by!
This women is amazing!
In London that doesn't get you by for a week
It's even worse in Toronto now! I moved from my apartment 3 years ago, it was $1200 for a 2 bedroom. It's now over $1800 for the same apartment! Most rent is in the $2000s now.
Renting a room in some places is 1000$, just a single room
I pay for my 2 bedroom flat 8 km away from the big city in Poland only $600 per year.The flat cost me $30k in cash.Working only 4-5 months each year.The rest of time I spent smoking weed ,do my electric scooter in the summer,swiming,playing Fortnite online etc.. hahah.It seems like people over there living for work...Sad
Eva's story is the best! Keep in mind that employees are our customers!
Eva is worth more than what the owner gave her. He has been earning profits from the hard work she has done for years.
@LogicalSense I agree with everything you said. Also socialism is just the worst idea ever if you are smart enough to see it.
Capitalists are gonna exploit , don't hate the player hate the Game
Yeah, this owner is terrible and I won't be eating at his company
What he gave her is little stingy boss
@@michaelgebremariam7363 I agree, his suit probably cost that much
Love how staff puts him in his place, cuz I bet he's like this in real life

He's an a**hole....
That's why alot of his locations in the Chicagoland has closed.
Yeah he does seem like an Ahole
Can't be easy to work with a fat-suit, wig and turtle-neck on. Sounds miserable to me.
yea i didnt kno CEOs were so spoiled
for all your hard work i give you....a tomatoe slicer!!
LOL!!! Yeah, that cracked me up! He was like, “I’m your hero because I just made your life easier with this beautiful and shiny tomato slicer!!” “WOOHOO!!!” LOL!!! 😂😂
This company has the best and loyal staff I've ever seen in undercover boss.
Exactly , take care of the employee's and they'll take care of your business - FACTS
that first chick does not look 19 at all, havin said that she is super cute
@Heather. Not all employees are the best fit. Paying them more is not the answer. Companies should take care of employees who produce and weed out those less productive.

The boss was an ass, but he has the best employees anywhere. Good company attitude.
His employees deserve better. Offer a competitive wage and opportunity, guy. These folks could make way more in other fields.
He should be given them more incentives than that it's so seldom to find a good and hardworking employees like them!
These employees are so wonderful and have such a great work ethic. It makes me love Canadians.
This CEO guy is clueless. How can he seriously ask an employee living on poverty wages of $1000/month "is that a hard amount to live off of?" I mean they are talking about Toronto and she is a single mom.
Anything below $3500/month and your living in serious poverty in toronto
He has to act dumb
@@siahwashn9794 if he raised the pay to $3,500 with 5 people in each of the 1000 stores, that would be an additional business expense of $1.5M per year easily.
@@efficientfuture1336 $3500/ month for 5 employees is around 200k per year per store that's doable but its not just employers that are not paying enough, the whole political and economic system is broken when the vast majority are living pay check to pay check with full time jobs, people need to watch their spending ofcourse but even with careful spending anyone getting minimum wage or even $5 above minimum wage is living in serious poverty in Toronto and other major cities, all this while the billionaires are paying almost nothing in taxes, the whole system needs fixing
@@efficientfuture1336dude have you eaten at Freshii it's so over prices, they can afford that 1.5 mill and then some .
Well, I didn’t like Matthew as an employee, but I loved the way he helped his employees, how sensitive he was to their needs, how kind he was...He truly amazed me...
Actually he did good as undercover, mix of different attitude reveals more about person they are interacting with, and it works when you need to assess the people's actual evaluation, and he was successful to obtain that.
@@govindprajapati2155 actually your opinion is wrong
The CEO stepped down after exploiting employees paing 3.73 per hour.
I don't understand why he took on the persona, the attitude, he did.
I don't understand why he puts his fake hairpiece at 41:42 so sideways??? It's a dead giveaway that he is bald bc no matter how receding your hairline is its still even and symmetrical. Haha
What a rather unpleasant young man he is.
What a polite way to comment about disliking someone on RUclips 😯 Yay for you!
Why is he like that? she sound like a man????
@@NoudlePipWI have to agree with you!! 😊😊
Mat, You win the prize for the best undercover act ever, Ethan rocks.
That's real, true the EMPLOYEES is one of the real foundation of all companies around the world! Under cover Boss was a really big to Discovery who is behind of the success of thier Company. .thank you on this🥰❤❣
The ceo has an attitude. I don't like it. He should respect the works his employees have done every day.
He is too young to know how to respect his employees, in my opinion.
Haven’t watched the end but I think he acted that way intentionally to see how they’d respond and operate to it
He was acting like that to see how the managers would respond, bud.
Paul Jordan nothing to do with age
He did it on purpose
I didn't feel he's into food or catering, he is like a robot running a business on auto-pilot!
i like that he was basically trolling everyone the entire time
This guy is a dropkick. The only UB episode I'm skipping before 10mins in ;)
instead of throwing away what you don't sell - GIVE IT AWAY - instant karma.
Throwing foodout Foster homes,orphanages, gov food bank, or a soup kitchen and\
take a tax deduction great idea.
That’s exactly what I thought when I heard him say that… What a selfish jerk… They could be donating that to homeless shelters
You realize the food they sell perishes very quickly, they can’t donate rotten food...
They are not allowed to, by law. You shouldn't judge people when you have no idea what you are talking about. You really think you are the first person to come up with such an idea? Lobby the govt. to change the laws. Don't blame the businesses that would be fined and/or shut down if they gave away old food. Grocery stores can't even legally give away day old baked goods, much less more perishable foods like this
FACTS IDIOT COULD DONATE IT TO HOMELESS SHELTERS😤
this guy has given the least amount of money on the show (that ive seen) and his workers were actually legit and gave a fuck about his company
I think it’s because it’s a smaller company
@@Djdjndxjsnd yes, it's a much smaller company, locally based in Vancouver I think, but I think he made smart choices as to what to give. Keep in mind the format, low end rewards are done first, the big rewards come near the end and the last two people, basically had $25,000 to $30,000 rewards (cost of airfare, their food, hotels, promotions) those are substantial rewards
Oh no I’ve seen way bigger cheapskates 😂😂😂😂
@@TWTexasA1 7-11 is the cheapest by far, i was shocked that they didn't give their employees expired coupons for hot dog buns as their gift
@@steveeverett1736 Are you including the costs of getting them to the HQ at the end?
I am surprised he didn't get fired in the first store. He wanted to not cut the tomatoes, she told him to make the tuna order and he said no, then he asked when he could take a break.
Exactly
I would have told him to get on his bike 👋

His eyes are so lifeless. It was very Sylar from HEROES. Nice body, Butterface!
best comment.
Thank God, we need more Katie 💛
All these fantastic immigrants working hard in Canada. This is the heart and soul of Canadian. All Canadians (with the exception of First Nations peoples) were immigrants to this country. This is what immigrants bring. So as an immigrant multiple great granddaughter, I will never understand the tendency for Canadians to be opposed to immigrants.
As a Lakota woman, we are not against immigrants whatsoever but I can unequivocally assure immigrants get treated far better than your average Canadian especially if you are a pale Canadian! At first I did not believe this until I went with various Canadian shopping in terms of conducting an experiment to disprove this notion! Sadly I was wrong! I discovered 3 major problems! 1. Immigrants often expected pale Canadians to be racist! I found 1 pale lady that was a “ racist “! In three different stores the last persons to be served were either pale folks or Indigenous folks 2. Folks had no problem being rude to Canadians calling them entitled, spoiled, ugly devils, or lazy! Actually I was shocked and did not want to believe this! I went undercover essentially and sadly this was the actual case! WOW! Yes I met entitled Canadian that were pale but here is the ratio without revealing which ethnic group they were from- 78% of males from a certain group insisted that pale woman come back and get served by their woman! Calgary and Edmonton were the absolute worst! 10% of females from the same group were women-sadly not one single apology for being rude came forth and that saddened me! I found that the politest people in relation to Canadians were the South Korean people! They treated everyone very well including the above mentioned group! 3. There was an assumption that Canadians had money and most Canadians I met were hardworking everyday folks that were treated poorly in their own country! As a Native Lakota woman, I have been at the brunt of vulgar verbal racist attacks but admittedly few were from poor pale folks! Canadians must unite and work together against the rule of a very dark government agenda and fight for our freedoms! Classical Liberal here but what I see is not Democracy or even benevolent dictatorship but a cold hard vicious purge of Canadian freedoms! I welcome all immigrants but I also have a heart for strong hardworking Canadians and am very saddened by the arrogance of ignorance that I have encountered!
He is a real princess 👸 and real cheap
I can’t argue with that!! 👍🏼👍🏼😊
I just came on here to say how much of a brat this boss was. Lol
thats because he is highly intelligent. and is more of a logical numbers guy
I think he treated the girl in the beginning different than the second guy! Weird!
@@kattbrown4228 well no shit....she was super young and in an important role...ofcourse hes going to test her..its literally the point
This boss IS a brat.
He’s also playing a character so he doesn’t blow his cover
Amazing show, Mathew is very humble that’s so wonderful to have him as CEO. I love watching this show. From London 👌🏾👌🏾💖🏴🇵🇹
I know you commented this a year ago, but there was nothing humble about his pretentious butt
@@mymycojourney7924I agree with you! Humble is not a trait that he has….
This guy is so jazzed to be on TV that he's overdoing it big time.
Thank you!!!!!
Getting your rent paid for a year is huge!
I hope the best for all of them!
Why do they use plastic bags for mixing the salad and no bowls? That is really disturbing.
Its a bag made from biodegradable materials. They use the bags to mix the ingredients very well. Their bowls and cutlery are also made from corn. Everything they use there is environmentally friendly :) no worries ;)
Miss MOJO you can reuse the bag.You can't the the box that's expensive
I think the purpose of the bag is not only to mix the ingredients better but also to make the bowl look cleaner and not look messy
It’s because remember he hated doing dishes that’s why
Imagine the health risks with the bowl, with allergies and such.
This is so great. What a incredible company 😊
A tomato cutter and $2000. Douchiest boss ever
MAXIMUS172 look at his house in the beginning. This is not a big company. It’s more than what you could’ve given/
@@Kyle_P2022 he's stingy!!!
@@Kyle_P2022 Are you a good friend of his?
Josh Popichak A good friend of who’s? You’re trying to be a smart ass but make no sense🤣🤣 A lot of CEO’s aren’t cash rich. Observe the bosses house at the start. Doesn’t take a genius. I’m sure the staff were still grateful. I know I would be.
SunKissNicole And you’re ugly
how could I not Cry! such a heart! such sensitivity,
He's so detached from his business. I think he doesn't like salads. 😄
LMAO
He seems like a sociopath
Or get his salad tossed...
He’s making money like all of us
It’s just a concept for him, not passion
It's those 'Mom and Pop' deli's that YOU put out of business.
not really, businesses either have to evolve or they'll go out of business. Essentially, mom and pop delis put themselves out of business. There are local shops near me that have been here for decades and despite all of the local fast food options, they still run strong.
@@joshuapacheco2898 👍👍👍

A 'corner store' shop, run by a family.....mother/father/children....
Not an enterprise, like the 7/11 Stores...

No....
It's the abbreviation for
'delicatessen'......sort of like a dried, smoked meat and specialty cheeses shop.

I love this show but this is the WORST CEO i have ever seen on the show... im never gonna eat at freshii
Yeah he really fucked himself on that one
YES .
I agree with that!!
"DONT USE MY CUTTING BOARD" had me dying laughing
I would have thought he'd pay the debt Ori owed to her father
This guy really does not appreciate his workers enough. They all deserved so much more, they treated his business like it was their own and were really making sure he gained and not list profits and he acted like a spoilt brat
The amount of personal effort, seroiusness and motivation these workers show is incredible! Its so sad that companies dont have systems to see those qualities in their stuff and put them to good use for everyone. Train them in house for higher positions, give them the opportunity of a career.
This guy: I really appreciated the mom and pop delis so I decided to make a big corporation to wipe out small businesses 🙃🙃
I caught that as well!
It's called life and competitive. Pretty sure other big companies would love to wipe him out if he wasn't being competitive enough.
Haha
I actually meet one of the people. I walked into Freshii and I said you were on undercover boss. I won't say the location but the person still works there, I don't think that person was well compensated thought for the work they do.
the last lady got a great deal...
SirXavior *met*
Wat a mean boss
Did anyone else notice that at the beginning when he is first putting on his belly that the camera had to pan down his sort of 6 pack? Thought that was ludicrous.
If i had his body i would do the same.
He looks like a crkhed
Yeah, there's no reason you should ever see your boss's abs in a tv show.
26:35 I was walking around and saw his car when this was filmed in Vancouver. I couldn't believe it!
Yesss...."if you take care of your people everything else will go from here." They will reciprocate with more diligence and loyalty making an effort the business will go well and successful.
Overall it appears that he has some really great employees working for the company.
How happy his board of directors would have been when he told them he would be "out of office" for a week.......PARTY!!!!
Beautiful vegetables fresh healthy foods very nice Salads healthy foods thank you for sharing your beautiful foods
Amazing employees but most amazing Boss u have! Amazing people !
He has the most amazing dedicated workers
Was the ab closeup really necessary?
Yes, that was actually the only thing going for him.
@@SilentificOpus lol
When they told him he'd be wearing the fat suit, I imagine he demanded the ab shot or it was a dealbreaker.
I Thought the same thing lol
tell me about it selling fresh meat with the freshiit
this is a perfect video that shows how lower staff do their works and their manager had their first experience to do that. it really shows how lower staff working hard to make money for them. my thought so. it's clearly nowadays that many managers just pick by their educations levels but not their experience
Pretty good for the guy to get to go Sri Lanka then his parents to visit him in Canada. Seemed really happy with that.
the worst money given to employee in history of this show hahahahah
zamirhans yunos you took the words out of my mouth what a fucking cheap ass shitty biz owner. He can suck a fat one. I felt like he said here is a free beer on me now get your ass back to work. Dick boss
Given what an asshole he is I'm not suprised.
All the Canadian bosses are cheap as fuck.
Ori made me cry.
Omgosh! Beautiful man! Ur crowns await you in heaven! 🙏
So cold maaan . Never seen anything like this before on this show
Apoorv Shukla total dousxhe
Shit! Even his family are scared of him. Just look into their eyes when he’s around.. damn
LOVED IT...............
THANKS A LOT BOSS!
This was interesting to watch. This posted in 2014, living in Toronto is a hell of a lot tougher now. That pay cheque wouldn't even cover rent here now! Cost of living going up, but pay cheques staying the damn same!
2k and a tomato cutter. Well, better than nothing. But honestly, if I was them and would've watched other episodes of undercover boss I'd be pissed 😂
Plus flying her to Stockholm soo.
Instead of throwing away the ripped wraps and orders with mistakes, they should seriously consider giving them away to people who can't afford fresh food
Finally!!!!good common sense .
Tiffany They could literally package them and donate them to a shelter. It does work.
They are a business. Not a charity! It's up to them what to do with produce!
Awesome company..tear jerker.
In every one of the episodes ive watched, each employee is great and has som crazy struggle they happen to want to open up to a complete stranger about. It's not realistic and definitely used to promote these CEOs businesses. It works too because I found a Freshii near me and want to try it. I never knew it existed!
Honestly this is the best undercover boss canada episode I watched till so far
why was there confusion with the pick up area? there was a giant green sign that said PICK UP HERE with an arrow😒
Exactly
Honestly, this boss is such a brat I don't think I'll be going to Freshii anymore.
Brat is not the word...
Yeah, but RUclips doesn't like it when you call someone an out of touch prissy bitch.
The employees are great and love the company...that says it all
This Freshii boss is really an ass. Had to change his attitude. Should have sent someone else to go undercover.
Perhaps you should walk away, a come back later at a calmer time, and look another time from a different perspective, a different frame of mind!
@@clairecolvin4077 Perhaps you should learn to use spellcheck....and grammar.
It was all an act he decided to put on
It's called being in Character. 🙄🤦♀️

Wonderful!!!
He’s a snob and doesn’t want to get his hands dirty. Has he ever actually had a real job? I agree, his staff is to young. Get some older people in there that have had life experiences.
It's all an act you dumbfuck
The Filipina staff Eva is very passionate 😭😭
Really good food at Freshii and I have always had great service. Have been to 3 locations and very consistent quality.
Feels like a 40 minute ad, every conflict that arises is about how everything is too fresh
You gave some $ away but you didn't do enough to the hard workers!
They throw all the food away instead of giving it to the employees to take home..what a horrible thought. The ceo is soooo creepy.
So the employee(s) can sue the company after consuming the food? Would you take that risk? I understand where you're coming from and it is wasteful but the risk is too high to do it.
That guy who moved from Mexico should be moved up in the company he deserves it with his strong work ethic and loyalty to the company.
I love how he went to Ottawa, maybe I should have applied. Could have been on the show 👀
