Gordon doesn't seem to have a problem with the workers as long as they're doing their jobs. It's usually the managers he gets the most angry with.

And the cooks, since they're the ones that make the food.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, he's rough with the cooks when they're not doing their shit

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’d say he’s only rough on them if they don’t take food safety seriously or they don’t want to learn.

Yep. And honestly that's perfectly reasonable. People can die from food poisoning, being ignorant is not something to be proud of

So the caption would need to be: "When you're on coke and H at your maximum wage chair sitting job and you see Gordon Ramsay walk in with a camera crew"

"And you forgot you invited them hoping that the ratings will make your restaurant famous and you'll become rich as fuck"

The majority ended up failing, so I heard

They are already on their death bed when Gordon comes in.

Restaurants fails all the time with competent people. Imagine a restaurant being run by a dumbass.

Not disputing that, just the claim that they get him in for attention and money

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Some might, but yeah as you said the success rate was pretty darn low. Even in the show when he visits back it's usually gone back to shit as soon as he leaves.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Majority of restaurants fail, period

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

At least in the US series there are basically zero success stories in 6 seasons of the show. Even the best ones end up out of business a few years later.

Running a restaurant is a paradox. It's sort of easy to get into because the turnover is so high, but even if you end up having success it's extremely hard to sustain that over decades.

I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines

Most of the time there are a half dozen people in the background actually just doing the work. Totally ignored by the camera crew.
