“I don’t know how to use the cash register.” That’s EMBARRASSING for an owner to say. Like, that’s about BARE MINIMUM for any employee.

[@slusheewolf2143]

This is absolutely embarrassing, but on the other side I hate when people try to say that they started out as a cashier. It makes them feel more important and new people less so. Just be humble with yourself, stop trying to look like a hot shot.

@@slusheewolf2143 mu first job was running a cash register and all I say is "I'm good with a till" 😂 It's definitely a bit of high stress but it's just staying on top of your own self. Kinda like being a bartender

[@slusheewolf2143]

@@buttpiratesbuttpirate5913 this comment is underappreciated. Tendering out customers is a stressful job, but it's not a hard job. If you get the right job, they will even tell you what to say to the customers if something goes wrong. If you understand psychology, you can add some elements to make people calm down, as well. I think the hardest thing to do as a cashier is tendering cash, especially when you have to deal with a lot of change and the customer is impatient. Most people pay in plastic and doing so avoids that entire thing.

My mother owned 2 bars growing up. One when I was very young and it was fairly successful. She only drank socially then. The last I was of age and she became an alcoholic. I worked for her until I just couldn't watch her drink herself to death. She would "comp" her own drinks and those who drank with her. Her drinks alone were enough to sink her bar, up to 32 a day/night, add her "friends" to it and she ended up in huge debt. I got together with my siblings and forced her to sell it. She lost her butt on it but she didn't die. She's still a drinker but now drinks at home. We all lost our relationships with her because she blames us but whatever.

I mean, I've worked places where I also used the services (veterinarian, for example) but I'd make an appointment for my day off or lunch hour, or we'd squeeze it in if we weren't as busy. You didn't just waltz in and use all their materials, etc.

[@user-xe3bw4lc7f]

In a lot of places it's illegal to drink even as a bartender. (a lot of people still do, as you can see.) If you can't do any other job drunk, why would anyone think bartending / owning a bar would be different ?

[@teepdoesthings]

If you look at the labour laws they prohibit employers and employees from drinking the clock as well as showing up to a place of business drunk as the employee or employer can be fined (I think) and can be arrested for public intoxication and potentially a DUI if pulled over by authorities like the sheriff, local PD, FBI, or CIA

The ride of the Valkyries playing while john lead the charge of golf carts was hilarious!

There's one restaurant here in town I would never eat from. I have seen the kitchen. In the double sink in the back in one side they had frozen chicken and in the other side they had Frozen fish. Both were completely immersed in water. First it ruins the protein for cooking because it is waterlog and second it makes it unsuitable for human consumption because it is in the danger zone for bacterial growth. Another time a bus pan full of raw chicken half uncovered on the floor where flies could just land on it and lay their eggs. Also, moisture could drip from underneath the sink onto the half uncovered raw chicken.

jon pullin up with a dead look on his face with a mob of golf carts fucking killed me 😂 and the music made it so much better oml

[@bottomofthemap696]

I like how he said that one kitchen isn't for a commercial setting it's meant for home. I worked it out back steakhouse and they ran that kind of kitchen pretty damn good

[@kaitlyndees2961]

He meant the microwave wasn’t for a commercial setting, not the whole kitchen

[@BruinsPastaSauce]

okay Jon sitting on a golfcart in the middle of the night like a fucking G is my mood.

[@redsuns22]

I laugh when in the first clip when he says take the daughters out too lol sounds like he's putting a hit out on them

[@82dorrin]

"People make fun of me. They ridiculize me!" Gee. I cannot imagine why.

[@lilygaugh3896]

Okay the music when Jon drives in on the golf cart 😂😂😂 I would love to be fly on the wall for all of these 😂😂

[@acfan9384]

Best thing to watch while on break working in a kitchen

[@Blakegriffith1990]

You could see with bar #3 the two owners were petrified to be around the guests or employees..... it makes you wonder why they would open their bar in the first place, or maybe it got like that over time. My father owned a bar for about 3 years when I was a kid. I know he was there 24/7. It's SO much commitment, you gotta try any way you can to make it successful.

The muffled Flight of the Valkyries on the cut to the office room is absolute comedic genius.

I'm amazed, I watch shows like this and still have an appetite.

[@michaelfalkner1186]

The Fifth: Illegal in the first place, and closed in 2021. The 2003 (yes, 2003!!) name change was never approved, so this bar was actually an illegality when Bar Rescue showed up at it. Pepe's: Owners didn't give a shit. Sold the bar shortly after the episode and moved on to their five other businesses. It's still open. King's Duck Inn: Went up for auction, 2021, no buyers. Kaput. Ray's: Ownership change to the niece.

[@deuromody]

What episode is this

[@slaaneshshewhothirst9136]

“Why don’t they stick long enough?” “Because of the industry I guess” “It’s you” Found that funnier than it was

[@alterego2978]

Don: doesn’t care about his restaurant, doesn’t show his employees any respect Also Don: thinks the reason employees don’t stay is because of “the industry”

[@marig9555]

he doesnt deserve to have his name mentioned

[@lowkeemarie5535]

on the last one, 35:52 when he kept drinking that beer and john said "gimme that" IDK why I lost it😂

[@osagiee.guobadia-secondytc4624]

You lost that because he throws it down on the floor. 😅

[@robbiegarnz7732]

lol! He pulled all the bar staff and packed the bar and the guy didn’t notice?!? Hilarious!

[@mazthebear]

36:26 “ watch yourself because you are going to have a great relationship with your toilet “ shit had me dead 😂

[@jadlad9666]

5:35 "I'm gonna take out one of the bartenders" this is so ominous lmao Edit: 7:02 "take the daughters out as well" 🤣

[@mofo7689]

this is the hallmark of any "leader". I am completely sold on the teamwork concept. I don't care if I pick up a broom or pull cases from the store room. I will understand every aspect of all elements taking place. Let your staff know they are doing everything you would do yourself.

[@sivildisobedience]

I had no idea Pepe's was on bar rescue, I live right by it. My stepmom has been there, she described it as a dive bar.

[@titusmccarthy]

A lot of the bars on this show are dive bars.

[@dezzie6885]

Jon is such an instigator lololol I love his style though. Come in strong and splash that cold water on them.

[@gimmick2509]

15:06 I lost it the moment the music started :DDD

"Welcome to the restaurant business; now go buss a table." Should be how every entry level food service job should start.
