[@STTDB1990]

@@shawnarichmond2585 you're right and I seen it first hand...I was in a bar the night it was "rescued" and the producers of the show told us how to react and that there would be yelling but to continue to act normal. They also told us when Jon was gonna walk in and that the food is safe to eat but they will make it seem like it's not. Still like the show though...also employees were told to act a certain way with certain antics.

[@robertw3562]

In the bar business nobody is more caring about the owners succeeding then Jon Taffer. He immediately turns his attention on the family and who the drunken owner destroys in the process. Jon not only rescues the bar - he shows a genuine concern for ALL workers involved.

[@dubbs8294]

uhhhmmmm did you see the video. i don't think jon really cares about the bars he's rescuing. all an act for the cameras. as soon as he leaves he doesn't care what happens to them. i don't think he wants their downfall either, but if they succeed he's like cool, if they fail he's like ohh well. this doesn't make him a good or bad person. just what it is.

[@dubbs8294]

[@gavinr9356]

edgar santiago why would they fake that? it isn’t going to bring more viewers maybe even the opposite the big reason people watch the show is because of him getting mad and yelling not being nice

[@dubbs8294]

@@gavinr9356 yeah, you can't say it's not going to bring more viewers. you don't know. second if all you show is tapper yelling without some type of heart behind the yelling than tapper comes off as just an asshole. by him acting like he cares, it humanizes him. now you say, yeah he's an asshole but he cares. lastly i personally like to watch the transformation of the bars. so no, not everyone watches it for the yelling. plus again most of these scenes are acted out. all reality t.v. does it.

[@bigmack2262]

He’s absolutely right about the early 80’s being a completely different time.

[@FerretJohn]

About the yelling, these Rescue shows usually run along a standard formula in that the Rescuer has only five business days to fix the problems. That's really not a lot of time, there's no time to hold the rescues hand and tell them everything is going to be alright. This is Boot Camp, truth is blunt and changes are radical, and you have to be loud to get them to see they need to see

[@maxmustermann-zx9yq]

lol it's scripted "reality" TV, every episode has some kind of easily unlikeable 2-dimensional "bad guy", him yelling at that guy bc that's what the viewer would want to do, and of course a cliche happy ending

[@omnipotentpumpkin9755]

They get five days of shooting footage but they get several months of preparation and as Abraham Lincoln once said "If you give me six hours to chop down a tree, I will spend four hours sharpening the axe". The concept and idea for this show could have been in development for decades before it was greenlit.

[@SplinterG66]

I'd absolutely kill to work on this man's team. After years of bartending, I wholeheartedly agree with him!! I don't put up with filth, drunk owners, or thieves!!! Sign me up, or give me my own show! LOL

[@might4362]

@John Lorton so being blunt and telling the truth is an asshole move? And dude has 5 days to rescue these bars he can’t hold their hands after he leaves

[@barackobama9019]

Dude owned up to his mistakes and that’s respect everyone can give

[@lukemarshall118]

I want to see John Taffer and Gordon Ramsay fight so bad!

[@jbr496]

I think Ramsey would drop Taffer since he has some martial arts training. But Taffer would have his Vegas mob connections blow up Ramsey's car.

[@boltok9584]

Honestly they would meld together into a ball of rage an good god help the person in that monsters path

[@deadspace2121]

They would come together and form a duo of death kind of pact and then eliminate all bad food for good across the United Kingdom/United States!

[@Aziel562]

More like have Jon and Gordon run a bar and kitchen together see how that'll go

[@benchase5797]

Ramsay was a near professional soccer player before he hurt his knee and he’s also trained in mma lightly

[@southerncowboy307]

I think ya need jon taffer to run the bar gordon ramsey to run the kitchen and Simon cowell to run the music that would be one hell of a place to go and have an awesome night...

[@sdushdiu]

Sorry - but given we don't need any more pre-pubescent ghetto slock or boy bands, Simon can sit down.

[@KillJoy_Since2017]

[@Gunnar.J]

Then the music would suck.

[@justinturner653]

And the staff would be paid like shit & worked like dogs, no thanks...

[@mirriamvalentin8634]

Best Comment Ever 😄

[@chenism7]

When he was still staff, his mind set was already an owner. He told the owner of the staff scheming off the bar and that was not snitching, that's downright decency and so was smart.

[@tommyboy1653]

He probably wanted the money for himself.😎A bonus of course all proper.

[@TheRisky9]

I never drank alcohol and barely ever been in a bar, but I learned a lot from Taffer. I learned first off that you have to respect yourself. I learned you have to want things. Going at it with a ho hum attitude and expecting things to work out, usually won't. If they do, it won't be for long. But most importantly, it's own up to your failures.

[@deborahklinlger8565]

Good for you. Alcoholism bad for our liver, kidneys & heart. Causes fatty liver & churosis too. Also can cause addictions & binge drinking. Best to stay away.

[@redeyetrey4763]

Simon Cowell , Gordon Ramsay, Jon Taffer walked into a bar & grill with live karaoke😂😂😂😂

[@bonnett5463]

Great admiration for a man that gives his all to not only changing a failing bar business into a successful one, but also for changing the unproductive attitudes/thought processes owners and staff have. With that, he is a business "psychologist", a genuine man of integrity and a man that cares a lot about others.

[@TheQueenVixen]

A thief is A thief is A thief. I will never respect a man/woman with sticky fingers. I will always respect the person that wont allow a thief to continue to steal. You will understand when someone you trust attempt to steal from you & a real ally stop that person from one-upping from you. RESPECT

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

It's widely known, the bar-club-pub industry has a lot of fraud, waste, abuse. It's easy to steal booze or over charge drunk patrons, then steal tips.

[@Terrakinetic]

That sounds like an employees' amenities pool, considering it was a measly $100.00. But if they were really stealing that everyday, it does adds up to $3000.00 a month, which is an X% raise for all the employees behind the boss' back. I'd say that is a situation that calls for more context before passing judgment. The way Mashed framed it, It does sound more like Taffer sold out all his co-workers to get a better position than him being some kind of righteous ethical worker.

[@TheQueenVixen]

@@Terrakinetic I get what you're saying but even if that was the case the owner should have been aware of it by those employees so he/she wouldn't think they were stealing

[@dougjohnsonbushcraftandbjj5561]
