'Checkers + Rally's episode so fake + scripted!
I watched this one last year as a rerun and the scene which I found to
be so unbelievably fake and scripted was when the fast food chain's
ceo who was undercover as a new hire had to clean the restrooms.
And not that he was assigned to do so but that when he went into the
restrooms with the trainer there were no proper sponges or brushes
to do actual cleaning and scrubbing! Now come on! A major fast food
chain would have had all of the proper cleaning supplies and chemicals
on hand to clean, scrub and sanitize the restrooms. And they had to
use brown paper towels to clean and scrub the toilets, sinks and
counters! This was just so unrealistic and unconvincing to watch!
And the producers of "Undercover Boss" really expected us the viewers
to watch and believe what we were seeing?! Now the episode overall
was okay and not bad though my points I have raised just made the
entire episode so stupid and unbelievable to watch! If that particular
location really was short on cleaning supplies then all the manager
needed to do was to contact any neighboring location of the chain
and requested whatever supplies were needed from the other store's
manager. This is a common practice in the restaurant industry and
the scene I watched about having to clean restrooms without the
proper brushes and sponges was just too idiotic and so unbelievable!
So in my honest opinion "Undercover Boss" has gone way down in quality
and I no longer watch the reality show and have not seen any episode
since last year. And every episode's ending is always so happy and
predictable as well.
