Anyone watch Undercover Boss USA

I love it.

My favourite bit is the end, when the boss says 'and I'm going to buy you a house, put you through college, give you $100,000'.

I hate it when the boss says 'I'll send you on vacation, give you tickets to a game'. I want to shout IS THAT IT? What a tightwad!!

Anyone else watch and think the same?

Of course, I’m always hoping the employer ponies up
Like the ski resort guy, he was super generous
Worst is the tightwads. Here is a promotion in your min wage job

I'm sure the employees must have cottoned on though, it seems so unlikely that some random company wants to make a 'documentary' about their workplace... That and the terrible prosthetics and make up they have the bosses wear, I'm sure they must suspect.

I still watch it though 😁

haven't watched it for years but used to love it & the UK one.
The one that I remember is the trampoline park coz i thought it was brilliant & we should have them here about 6 months before they started popping up everywhere here.

It is so obvious that the producers or U/boss seek out those workers with the worst backstory.
I wonder if the people they work with get resentful and think why can't we all get $2000 rather than she get a brand new car and a $50,000 college fund.

Yes OP

I watched quite a few of these . Impressed by the generosity of these owners/CEOs of businesses.
I also liked the one where a rich person would go undercover into poor communities and donate money to the charities and causes he or she gets involved in . Forget the name but its British (or at least I have only seen British ones)

@CatToddlerUprising - just watched it!

Oh dear - I bet poor Jaqueline is kicking herself!
