the crowd chanting "Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!" at the owner followed by Jon smashing a bottle on the floor and nearly inciting the place into a riot is probably my favorite all-time Bar Rescue moment

[@ladydovedove2240]

I half expected people to start swarming the owner

[@KungPowChicken]

I laughed when I saw the name pop up, it's a local bar. They rebranded twice and are actually successful right now. Nice outdoor area.

[@kitsunefaye1661]

Reminded me of wrestling matches lol.

[@pramusetyakanca1552]

And then for Mike to shrug it off and say: "I'm sure I've had 'em before." Like, the 1st time it's fine. But the more you do it, the more you run the risk of getting sick from those bugs in your drinks. To be frank, I half-expected Mike to drop dead on the floor after taking that shot. Or at the very least being rushed to the E.R.

[@Jordan__Sloan]

I would definitely get behind a riot started by Taffer

[@ConnorMiller417]

What I want to know is, how do restaurants get away with roaches, mice, mosquitoes, and even raccoon poop? Where’s the Health Department in all this?! 🤢

[@travondascarr6206]

The only ant in a colony that breeds, produces eggs is the active queen. She is moved into a colony by worker ants fairly early into a new colony. The ants with the wings are scout/soldier ants that hatch and grow them. They fly to a new location and drop their wings off after a few days or less.

[@Free_Flowing_Anxiety]

@@travondascarr6206 the winged ants are reproductives, usually after a heavy rain they swarm and mate. The males die soon after and the females go on the start new colonies. The queen comes first then the colony. To learn more Ants Canada has done a lot of good videos on it.

It's one thing not to care about your job because you're severely underpaid or your boss is an asshole but being complacent in giving innocent customers food and drink infested with black mold and fruit flies and mishandling food to the point of intense contamination is absolutely unacceptable

[@poodypooroo]

Sure I guess, it's ultimately on management for not organizing a system and scheduling them with cleaning hours. The best restaurants my wife has worked at will shut down once a month for a deep cleaning day. The employees are being paid under minimum wage, most of their pay comes from tips. They are handed a shit covered, disgusting bar and incentivized to work on customer service with nobody directing them to clean, providing cleaning tools, or holding them accountable. Moreover, the owner clearly doesn't care about cleaning. Contrary to what a lot of these clowns say you do have to tell employees to clean and hold them to it. Employees are there to do their job, if you don't make cleaning part of that job they aren't going to do it out of the goodness of their hearts.

[@m4nman]

@@poodypooroo10000% people get paid to do what they’re told. If you don’t tell them to do anything, guess what happens?

[@Tassie85]

I worked in a few very rough and tumble bars BUT in every single one, the kitchens and mix stations were immaculate. You would never have a single dirty glass sitting out, the owners were so careful about cleanliness.

[@techseth]

Roaches? Mice? A little raccoon? Some cat piss? Flies? This outta be good

[@djhorn5769]

I live in Arizona, so I know about all the kinds of diseases and stuff that mosquitoes can carry. My big question is, why didn’t somebody get the health department involved in this before Jon Taffer came around? No wonder he gets so pissed off when he has to work on these places. If I was John, most of those owners would be out of a job. There’s no excuse for that kind of uncleanliness in any kind of establishment.

[@isaacmacdonald6530]

The County Health Inspectors in Arizona would definitely shut it down if they saw Fruit flies, Mold, unclean kitchens for years, or worse...RATS!!!!

[@Talented_T]

[@vickylovega23]

Crazy part is. They expect Jon to write a check to save the business. But they can barely clean, hold staff, or even actually do half the job required. They purposely failed for a show spot. To many not even attempting. Health departments that allowed this need to be held responsible too. Failing their communities and laughing at the risks they cause

It always shocks me how disgusting people will allow things to get. I've been in the industry for a while now and more than once I've had to get MGMT to just come look at something and explain to them the possible deaths it might cause, more often than not though, only when I mention the lawsuits do they take action..

It always irritates me when their attitudes towards hygiene is so lackadaisical. Jon is yelling at them about how someone could DIE and some can still laugh. Like what does it take to make them realise they could harm someone irreversibly due to their irresponsibility? When they get threatened with a lawsuit, is that it?

[@kiethmergard]

I don’t think these owners and employees understand just how illegal all this is. If someone gets sick, they are 100% liable. I get trying to save money by using unused products. However, they must be labeled as to the contents and the date of when it was first opened and/or prepared. Improper food handling and/or storage, causes 48 million cases of food born illness each year in the US. 128 thousand people are hospitalized with food born illnesses each year. 3 thousand people die from it each year. Just because a customer never says anything, doesn’t mean they didn’t get sick. This filth and illegal food handling/storage practices are seriously illegal. I’ve been part of the 48 million cases a year. It’s not fun. The smiles on some of these owners faces, pisses me off.

[@savannahr.granier9581]

Bug in the bottles is probably one of the most common issues that bars are having to combat. Due to the fact, that are attracted to the sugars and even the alcohol itself in the liquor. It the same reason why, when you sit out on your back poach or patio at night during the high of summer, with a glass of whiskey. Sometimes you will get a gnat or two fly into your glass.
