I heard an analysis of "A Christmas Carol" by Christopher Kimball of Cook's Journal that neatly summarizes one of the many awful messages of Undercover Boss - rather than pay his workers fair wages, Scrooge buys them a single turkey for Christmas and redeems his previous awful behavior. Posted by snuffleupagus at 11:45 AM on Febru It's more the attitude of a guild member who wants others in the trade to adhere to what low standards do exist, so they can be maintained that way.Īnd while there may be some argument that you need to have some interest and pride in what you're doing in the food world, the same thing can hardly be said of, say, data entry. Not that he's some kind of worker's champion. He also is pretty unsparing with owners or managers who try to flout what minimal labor standards exist in the restaurant world, or cut hours to save money, and will berate owners who look to shift the blame for their troubles to the line workers, who he often points out are paid low wages and overworked and still at the mercy of the owners' poor decisions in supporting their families. Especially true in more recent productions (Hotel Hell, 24 Hours). Ramsay typically reserves that criticism for the owners, managers and sometimes the head/lead chef (who may or may not be underpaid), who he usually blames for the attitude trickling down to the kitchen and wait-staff. Gordon Ramsey constantly demanding passion from sub-minimum wage restaurant workers
