This is what the CEO wanted. On camera he says it's not about profit or sales. Lol, he knows why men go there and is now expecting the waitresses to wear even more revealing shorts!
And the guy didn’t say he would apologize. Talk about privilege. After he told him to go apology, and with Jimbo countering with “I’m competitive and doing what needs to be done”, he should have been fired right there. The guy gave him another chance after all of that nonsense.

@@razofdead nope, he was told to apologize and was 're-trained'. This is the type of situation that leads to lawsuits and causes people to feel like they have no recourse when they're mistreated.

I don’t understand how this guy got off so easy. I’m absolutely disgusted by that. His behavior was inappropriate and frankly, strange and creepy. He seems like a walking lawsuit.
It's hooters. I think working as a hooter girl you're hired for your looks and boobs. That's it. Those girls took this job. Not all bosses are nice. If you don't like it there, then don't work there. He's at least joking around with them trying to relieve the stress. You take too things too seriously and are offended by everything.
Very telling that the CEO did nothing to stop this from happening. He doesn't really care about it. He knows he needs to act concerned on camera and barely could manage that. He sounded like a disappointed parent chewing out a 8 year old. I know these shows are soppose to show the higher ups care about the treatment of employees but it really just makes them look worse with the bad acting and doing barely anything to help towards the situation. I only see them get emotional when they are losing money from something.
If I had to “keep my cover” as CEO, I would still use every verbal hint, my body language, and my tone to express “without words” flat out distaste for such an activity.
@@JustSmileAndWave2023 The show obviously wants him to remain undercover until the big reveal at the end but there is nothing forcing him to do so. No way in hell I would've let that continue if I was the CEO.
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.
It's really pathetic how this manager wasn't fired on the spot by this CEO. And that's why I will never step into a Hooters again. It's unconscionable that this CEO would let this go on for it just to be put on tv. He should've broke his disguise as soon as that manager brought those beans out.
I was expecting this to be the conclusion the fact this guy was allowed to continue is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen. Everyone talking about profits???? These girsl literally have a case that the CEO KNEW THIS GUY WAS DOING THIS AND LET HIM GO BACK TO WORKK!!!! They can sue the whole flippin company! Wish that had happened crazzzzy no lawyer saw this and went after it.
Agreed. This wasn't something like the Checkers episode, where the manager was untrained and didn't know how to lead, but a weak waste of a man abusing the tiny iota of power he finally has. Hope karma has kicked him in the ass since then.
Whatever company started this show doesn’t allow the CEO’s to show who they really are until a certain point. Are you gonna stop watching tv forever too?
That was absolutely disgusting. The fact that he didn’t STOP the humiliation right then and there when he had all the power to do so is unacceptable. That man should’ve been fired on the spot, in front of those women who would probably have clapped and cheered, bc he deserved to be given a taste of the public humiliation he inflicts on those women, day after day, from a position of power. 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....

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
This Boss has no spine. That manager is a lawsuit waiting to happen AND after not being fired immediately the guy still seemed like he didn't get it. I don't care how good his sales are you gotta get rid of him on the spot.
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.
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
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 .
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.
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 fact that this dude wasn't let go on the spot is pretty much the reason it sucks working in the restaurant industry as a rank and file employee. They will fire you over the smallest thing you do wrong if they dislike you personally, but I've seen managers do and say some truly evil things to coworkers, and to me honestly, and they still continue to have a job.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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'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 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’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.
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 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.
That manager should have been fired on the spot. The CEO saying “It’s about being respectful. That’s the bottom line”…dude look in the mirror. Your company’s “Brand” is having young girls in tight outfits with their boobs hanging out serving people mediocre food. You exploit these women just as much.
Apparently, SOME Hooters are a franchise. If this particular one is, unless the contractual agreement stipulates the owner can be relieved of his franchise, the CEO cannot "fire" him. If this branch restaurant of Hooters is a wholly owned corporation and that man is no more than a manager, company policy MAY dictate disciplinary action "up to, and including, termination." If so, they should exercise that option.
But the Board should fire the CEO for not stepping up and preventing the disgusting game be played with girls putting their faces in plates of beans so they can get off. WTF!!!
@@Davek111 I am certainly NO corporate attorney, but if it is a franchise, it gets more complicated. All depends on the franchise contract. If left up to me, he would be fired and possibly supportive of a civil suit on behalf of the employees.
@@sandrabonner8208 Even if it's a franchise, you would think the parent company (Hooters) would have the right to do something (e.g. revoke) if the franchise isn't properly representing the brand.
That guy is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Just imagine what he is willing to do when the cameras are not rolling when he knew that he was being recorded at the time he felt comfortable doing all of this...
What an absolute creep. Ladies, if anyone ever tries to make you 'perform' so you get a treat. Stand up and be counted, stand together and make sure that these horrible people never get to do that again. As for the CEO...how could you even ride that scene through? The right thing to do there was obvious - protect your staff, take pride in your company and fire that a$$hole on the spot. Before anyone starts, no I'm not female, young or a feminist. Everyone deserves the upmost respect, until they don't. Pay it forward.
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."_
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!
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
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.
The fact he is even given another chance to go back to work is shocking, but after he gave his excuse defending his actions he should have been fired before he could finish his thought.
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.
Being patient and kind is one thing, but this CEO also needs to step down. Right at the bean eating, I would’ve humiliated the manager right then and there, in front of everyone. Then say get the fuck out of my business.
@@massimo4307 I don't know if you are a troll or are really in your own little world. Just know that the CEO letting the manager off so easily enables such disrespectful behaviour. The manager will not change in the future because he knows he could get away with it.
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.
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.
WTF? The fact the boss didn't step in when the abuse was happening in front of his eyes is pathetic. The fact he then didn't fire the abuser is unforgivable and tells me all I need to know about hooters as a company. Scumbags and cowards from top to bottom.
"Abuse?" Get a life, weenie. The game was just for deciding who ought to go home from all the people that wanted. If you think that is abuse, and that the CEO is "unforgivable," just shows you are what is wrong with society; a privileged, first world, arrogant, demanding narcissist that seeks to impose a superficial sense of justice on everyone. I bet you get outraged every day over what the media tells you to get outraged over.
I'm really surprised he didn't stop him when he saw he was serious about the bean eating. His entire interaction with them was disgusting, and if they were my employees, I would've fired him on the spot. It's a business, not a frat house.
Considering the way he looks, you'd think he'd be the nicest guy ever being surrounded by those girls every day... how humiliating making them eat beans like that. Surprised he didn't film it with his phone.... what is he like without the camera crew? He definitely should have been fired not just required to say an apology. Wtf.
We had a deputy director like this, thank god he's gone. He was the most unprofessional, arrogant, obnoxious, sexist manager I've ever come across. He was sleeping with a couple of front line staff too. He had that many complaints against over the years it was ridiculous. The last straw was when he made fun of an employee's mental health condition. She lodged a complaint, and he was (finally) 'encouraged' to resign. My workplace (which is a multi national corporation) really needs to train their managers properly instead of just promoting whoever puts their hand up and is able to charm the interviewer.
When he sees that and doesn't stop it, he's complicit. He let his employees endure that for the sake of a TV show - what was he hoping to learn to better the business that he didn't already know from the manager coming up with that idea?
Don't like the conditions of working there? Then don't, no one fucking owes you a job, yes the boss can make you do anything he or she wants and if you don't like those conditions then you can leave.

@Bold One - not really. The company was not aware of the incidents till that moment and he took steps to correct it once he did. Hooters is not the government, held to a higher standard. They are a private business that cannot correct a problem until it is brought to their attention. Meaning none of the girls ever made a complaint about it. If they had the the management/owner ignored their complaints, then they would have a case. In other words, no complaint, no incident, no case.
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.
I haven't stepped into a Hooters since I got some chicken wings strapped with WADS of hair NOTICEABLY all through the coating on the meat and despite trying to send it back didn't get a chance to, I was absolutely sick for a week after that and no one even knew.
Well, this is definitely going to be “exhibit A” in some woman’s soon to be heard case against hooters! That CEO is pathetic! They both need to be replaced!!
I was a business owner myself for quite awhile and frankly it was a pretty successful and profitable business before I sold it back in December of 2018. At that point I had 11 locations and about 375-400 employees. I always thought I treated my people well. I expected them to do their jobs properly, but I treated them with respect too. I would never allow something like this. My conversation with Jimbo would have lasted about a minute. I would have instantly fired him.
The CEO does not need to run this company if he can't make immediate decisions of firing that Manager on the spot , apologize to the ladies. This is deplorable.
The thing that baffles me is the fact that they don’t know they’re on undercover boss but they do think they’re on some kind of show. They are okay with having this recorded and see nothing wrong with it.

It's hooters. I think working as a hooter girl you're hired for your looks and boobs. That's it. Those girls took this job. Not all bosses are nice. If you don't like it there, then don't work there.

@@michaellandon1960 you don’t know me bro. Go ahead, keep your standards low, people like you are a dime a dozen.
Very telling that the CEO did nothing to stop this from happening. He doesn't really care about it. He knows he needs to act concerned on camera and barely could manage that. He sounded like a disappointed parent chewing out a 8 year old. I know these shows are soppose to show the higher ups care about the treatment of employees but it really just makes them look worse with the bad acting and doing barely anything to help towards the situation. I only see them get emotional when they are losing money from something.
Bad on Hooters for allowing him to continue on.
It's because this was filmed before Metoo. That's why Metoo happened, because people like this often got off easy.
I blame the boss. There is NO way I would’ve let that “game” go on.
If I had to “keep my cover” as CEO, I would still use every verbal hint, my body language, and my tone to express “without words” flat out distaste for such an activity.
He waited because he wanted the rope to get long enough to hang him.

It's really pathetic how this manager wasn't fired on the spot by this CEO. And that's why I will never step into a Hooters again. It's unconscionable that this CEO would let this go on for it just to be put on tv. He should've broke his disguise as soon as that manager brought those beans out.
I was expecting this to be the conclusion the fact this guy was allowed to continue is a huge lawsuit waiting to happen. Everyone talking about profits???? These girsl literally have a case that the CEO KNEW THIS GUY WAS DOING THIS AND LET HIM GO BACK TO WORKK!!!! They can sue the whole flippin company!
Wish that had happened crazzzzy no lawyer saw this and went after it.
Agreed. This wasn't something like the Checkers episode, where the manager was untrained and didn't know how to lead, but a weak waste of a man abusing the tiny iota of power he finally has. Hope karma has kicked him in the ass since then.
I agree. If i were the CEO and there were no customers around i woulda been all like time out and then I'd cuss out the manager
Very true hooters needs have buffalo wing pasta
Whatever company started this show doesn’t allow the CEO’s to show who they really are until a certain point. Are you gonna stop watching tv forever too?
That was absolutely disgusting. The fact that he didn’t STOP the humiliation right then and there when he had all the power to do so is unacceptable. That man should’ve been fired on the spot, in front of those women who would probably have clapped and cheered, bc he deserved to be given a taste of the public humiliation he inflicts on those women, day after day, from a position of power. 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....

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 .

@@jamesdick2580 Has the CEO done anything to this day to change Hooters? Actions speak louder than words.
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.
The fact that this dude wasn't let go on the spot is pretty much the reason it sucks working in the restaurant industry as a rank and file employee. They will fire you over the smallest thing you do wrong if they dislike you personally, but I've seen managers do and say some truly evil things to coworkers, and to me honestly, and they still continue to have a job.
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.

Spoiler alert: IT'S SCRIPTED
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
If he could abuse his power to make those girls do that,i can only imagine what he does off camera
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

It's also nearly 20 years ago. I remember seeing this while I was in high school which was a long time ago.
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.

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

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.
"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?
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.
Shocking. The food place thats oriented to objectifying women attracts employees who have no problem objectifying women!

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'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 .
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!!

For real , people really expecting hooters to not be a disgusting work environment
This dude really just said “No rules” to the CEO lmao
I remember this episode. He was fired, rettrained, failed. Fired again.
Apparently, SOME Hooters are a franchise. If this particular one is, unless the contractual agreement stipulates the owner can be relieved of his franchise, the CEO cannot "fire" him. If this branch restaurant of Hooters is a wholly owned corporation and that man is no more than a manager, company policy MAY dictate disciplinary action "up to, and including, termination." If so, they should exercise that option.
i'm pretty sure that particular branch IS part of the wholly owned corporation, hence why the CEO is taking action.
But the Board should fire the CEO for not stepping up and preventing the disgusting game be played with girls putting their faces in plates of beans so they can get off. WTF!!!

Its good television, that's why.
are you a simp ?
Sad to see the CEO not seeing the impact on everyone by immediately saying ‘not one second more - you’re fired!’
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.
The fact he is even given another chance to go back to work is shocking, but after he gave his excuse defending his actions he should have been fired before he could finish his thought.
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

I'm really surprised he didn't stop him when he saw he was serious about the bean eating. His entire interaction with them was disgusting, and if they were my employees, I would've fired him on the spot. It's a business, not a frat house.
Bruh, he's the type of guy who would own a brothel. The CEO needs to toughen up and fire people like that
Ok wait….an apology is all the CEO asked this man? I was expecting termination…
What a disgusting creep. He 1000% gets off on controlling a group of young, beautiful, vulnerable girls
Considering the way he looks, you'd think he'd be the nicest guy ever being surrounded by those girls every day... how humiliating making them eat beans like that. Surprised he didn't film it with his phone.... what is he like without the camera crew? He definitely should have been fired not just required to say an apology. Wtf.
He probably treats them that way, because they remind him of all the women who have rejected him.
@@tangerinefizz11 Can you blame them, look at the way he behaves!!!
That aside from the look he presents....THIS is a PRETEND man!
@@stevehuggett2098 I don't blame them at all. He's a misogynistic creep and bully.
@@tangerinefizz11
Creep = ugly
Without the camera crew he's not even a manager. Just an ordinary guy they picked up off of the street.
He looks like every Disney football chad after failing college
🤪
We had a deputy director like this, thank god he's gone. He was the most unprofessional, arrogant, obnoxious, sexist manager I've ever come across. He was sleeping with a couple of front line staff too. He had that many complaints against over the years it was ridiculous. The last straw was when he made fun of an employee's mental health condition. She lodged a complaint, and he was (finally) 'encouraged' to resign. My workplace (which is a multi national corporation) really needs to train their managers properly instead of just promoting whoever puts their hand up and is able to charm the interviewer.
PS- these young women are not your "product" they are spirit, flesh and bone, human beings! Not just some product to sell!
When he sees that and doesn't stop it, he's complicit. He let his employees endure that for the sake of a TV show - what was he hoping to learn to better the business that he didn't already know from the manager coming up with that idea?
Don't like the conditions of working there? Then don't, no one fucking owes you a job, yes the boss can make you do anything he or she wants and if you don't like those conditions then you can leave.
@@voluntarism335 A work contract is two ways. The employer has obligations to fulfil as well.
@@davids3539 That depends on the contract.
@@voluntarism335 Perhaps you've been offered such a contract by Hooters and know first hand, but I doubt a business as large as Hooters has a "Complete obedience or you're fired" policy
@@davids3539 Lol I would never work for hooters or go there.
But adults can agree to any contract and if they don't like it they should leave, no one is owed a job.
I worked at Hooters for 4 years never witnessed or experienced anything like this ever. And I’d have been afraid for my managers safety if he tried 😂🤣
Nobody is fearing u, don't worry...
@@ab-xo4yc whats that supposed to mean? Girls will fuck your shit up lol
@@ab-xo4yc talk a big game but the moment anything goes down they just freeze and scream lol
@@rangerscorpiorac2383 💯
I’m curious to what you were going to do.
That got me.
He had girls willing to leave. He didn’t need the contest.
He did it to degrade them.
@Bold One - not really.
The company was not aware of the incidents till that moment and he took steps to correct it once he did.
Hooters is not the government, held to a higher standard.
They are a private business that cannot correct a problem until it is brought to their attention.
Meaning none of the girls ever made a complaint about it.
If they had the the management/owner ignored their complaints, then they would have a case.
In other words, no complaint, no incident, no case.
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.
If I were that CEO, I would have stepped in when the bean game started and fired the manager right there.
So disturbing! The fact that this manager wasn't fired means that I won't be stepping into a Hooters again, ever.
I haven't stepped into a Hooters since I got some chicken wings strapped with WADS of hair NOTICEABLY all through the coating on the meat and despite trying to send it back didn't get a chance to, I was absolutely sick for a week after that and no one even knew.
The worst part is he was told by the actual CEO he was doing something wrong and he still said he was fine for making profit.
Well, this is definitely going to be “exhibit A” in some woman’s soon to be heard case against hooters!
That CEO is pathetic! They both need to be replaced!!
I was a business owner myself for quite awhile and frankly it was a pretty successful and profitable business before I sold it back in December of 2018. At that point I had 11 locations and about 375-400 employees. I always thought I treated my people well. I expected them to do their jobs properly, but I treated them with respect too. I would never allow something like this. My conversation with Jimbo would have lasted about a minute. I would have instantly fired him.
The CEO does not need to run this company if he can't make immediate decisions of firing that Manager on the spot , apologize to the ladies. This is deplorable.
The thing that baffles me is the fact that they don’t know they’re on undercover boss but they do think they’re on some kind of show. They are okay with having this recorded and see nothing wrong with it.
Yep! ANd now the world sees how incompetent the CEO is.... that he allowed those girls to be humiliated with that eating game. Those girls should be suing the shit out of hooters.
@@Davek111 yes! The fact that he asked him to stop instead of giving him a consequence! Just goes to show that the money he brings in is all he cares about. When asked if he could stop the manager literally said idk if I can 🤯
@@CarmenBuenrostro The guy did face consequences. You all need to remember that this is just a segment from the episode, not the full thing. There's more that happened and was said after this. The guy was put on probation and forced to take sexual harassment training and the CEO told the guy "I would never let my daughter work for you" to drive the point home about how inappropriate the guy's behavior was.
@@p.v.7269 nah, not enough. He should have lost his job
@@CarmenBuenrostro I agree, he should've lost his job, but he DID suffer consequences. It wasn't just "Okay Bob, say you're sorry to the spoiled primadonnas and we'll act like this never happened"
I like how there's a camera literally in this guy's face and everyone in the comments section believes this show is real. The acting isn't even good.
Aww that made me feel so sad for them because I am tell they REALLY want to go home and not be around him ! He’s crazy and should be fired or at the least demoted and have to apologize and be retrained ! The boss told him he was inappropriate and he looked like “is that so? Not to me” he didn’t look apologetic at all. He sees his behavior as awesome . Fire him!
