#BarRescue #ParamountNetwork
Jon Taffer embarks on a cross-country tour of the worst drinking establishments in America. Bad drinks, wild staffs, and wasted owners conspire against him and his experts as they give failing businesses one last shot at success.

Roaches everywhere and he laughed!! Ever since this show first started the bars have gotten worse and worse. Thank u John for having this show and ruining bars for me forever just like Gordon ruined restaurants.

[@InkAndPoet]

Not only that, but he NEVER pays his staff. The bartenders only make tips. He says "I pay with my love. After awhile I come to realize it's not all about money." I was pretty much thinking to myself "dude, LOVE isn't going to pay bills." And when there was an update, he STILL refused to pay his employees, even after they confronted him.

[@CourtneyLachiver]

Avenue Teal the dude is a delusional psychopath. Half the crap that came out of his mouth made no sense at all. He claimed that Austin was full of roaches and that it was normal. I’ve been to a bunch of bars in my short life and not once have I seen a roach or mold coming out of the ceiling. These places that I’ve been to follow strict guidelines and measures to make sure that food isn’t contaminated and that no one is exposed to mold. Jon went to school for hospitality, business and architecture. He’s been doing this stuff for over thirty years and knows what he’s talking about. Also, how did he ruin bars for you, Laloni? There hasn’t been a bar open for months thanks to this fucking pandemic.

[@caitlindavies9670]

No it didn't they get better the manger makes them worse by not firing staff or changing it back to where it was xx

[@Paperscrapper]

@ Laloni I've worked in many restaurants. Only one was even close to the ones in Kitchen Nightmares. It had recently been bought by the man I worked for. We spent any spare time cleaning and bringing it up to code. If you are that worried, before you order go to the washroom. If it's clean the kitchen is probably also clean. Bonus if you can see into the kitchen on your way to the washroom. Look around the dining room (tops of picture frames, glass in picture frames, any decor, sneak a peek at the ceiling) and get a feel for the cleanliness of the room. There are always warning signs in bad restaurants.

I was the manager of a clothing store and i made friends with one of the girls. She knew we were friends but that at work, when i told her to do something, she was to do it because at work i was the boss, and that i wasnt ever asking anything ridiculous.

Being friends with your underlings can be beneficial as much as it can go sour. If people care about you they are more willing to take care of you and vice-versa.

It's good to be friends with your employees, but just make sure to keep it at a professional level both on and off work

I worked for two different chain restaurants at the same mall, and one of them had a really bad roach problem. Supposedly it happened because the other restaurant shut down and food was left behind with no electricity, causing a roach infestation. A new chain moved into the location, and the roaches migrated across to the other restaurant that was still operating at the time. Grossest thing ever....
