What I never understood is that these CEO’s go undercover on television to find out what is going on while they are paying huge salaries to District and Regional managers who should be addressing these issues. Not to mention the tons of people who work at those offices. Maybe they should go undercover in those mid management centers and figure out why they are failing.

The Family Dollar CEO's disguise looks like it was purchased at Family Dollar.

That Checkers CEO understands that it’s management’s job to make the employees’ jobs easier!

I commend the CEO for shutting down that restaurant. Getting a new manager the next day was great. The manager to treats his employees like trash should never stay a manager. This should never be tolerated.

FD STILL doesn't treat employees well and store's are either a mess or crowded by stocking racks and boxes!! Price tags don't match products on the shelves!!

A slap in the face!! 20000.00 to 1 worker. Everyone else 0000000 Spread the money to everyone!

Wow! This was the best ever episode! Hands on is the way the person at the top of the chain of command needs to run his business. There are a thousand reasons the Commander needs to walk through every one of the branches/stores/ locations unannounced.

There os s huge HUGE difference between being tough and being mean

CEOs get to spend weekends with their families? That must be nice.

I don't think there is a company that treats their employees worse than family dollar. Never enough people they're working and they work em to death

I don't understand why some ceo go undercover when literally 99% of your employees don't know what you look like

6:04 I think everyone would agree it is time for burger restaurants to make burgers and fries as nice looking as the fake burger and fries over this CEO's left shoulder on the bookcase behind him.😋

"I can take you outside and beat you up right?" Not while being built like a 13 year old girl.

That’s really good to hear. These are two very generous CEOs want to help their people…

If I live in the USA and my company said that the reality show about someone who wants to work in the company ,first thing I would think, undercover boss.

We have a family dollar store in Swansboro and there’s more junk in that store and pile up. It’s not a very clean store. Something needs to be done about that.

With a title like this, I couldn't stop laughing. I'm glad everything worked out for mostly everybody, and I hope that bully manager learned a lesson! I've had my own businesses before, I try not to ever make people feel like that, and I'd can somebody on the spot for being a bully! GOOD JOB!

Family Dollar employees need combat training and pay. Seriously. I'm in the Chicago area and at more stores than not, theft is high. Assaults are high. And too many people lost their lives. They are waaaaaaay over worked and under staffed too. But who wants to work at a store that gets robbed damn near daily???

Family Dollar treats their employee's like Robots

Imagine getting a single paid vacation as recognition from your boss, like it's not something employees should get regularly.

Family Dollar needs to tell its employees to open another register when there is 20 people waiting in line 😂

Family Dollar caring about their employees is mere fantasy and was just for show for this show.

The Levines, who started Family Dollar, are from my hometown of Rockingham, NC. They owned a clothing store called The Hub. In high school, we wanted to shop there because it was prestigious to say your clothes/shoes came from The Hub. Madras and Weejuns were the rage, and they had the cool stuff.

I’ve always thought the undercover boss thing was scripted for entertainment only. Still do

The family dollar here in Paulden, AZ It the worse store. It does not carry much but junk people don't buy. It is always out of stock of products Cant get down a lot of isles because of boxes not unpacked and baskets full of junk. It is really dirty.

This is a very good channel. Thank you.❤

Fire mike for being so out of touch with the company in the first place all of his employees are struggling

We have a Family Dollar here in the city where I live. When I heard that efficiency is their motto, I couldn't help but laugh out loud! He was joking, right? Always out of products. Empty shelves. Clutter everywhere. Clueless employees. So, I go to Dollar General -- and it's twice as bad! LOL!

Operating a forklift and super vising it both without High Viz jackets NAUGHTY!

thanks for sharing

I thought I was watching Key and Peele when I saw Steven the manager 🤣🤣

Here, along the coast in Texas all the Family Dollar's are closing. Dollar General and Dollar tree, on the other hand, are exploding! Family Dollar used to be good but 99% of the time there is only 1 worker so when she's not ringing up she's having to unload and shelve and there is a bell for you to ring when you want to check out.

Family Dollar, at least around here, is taking over the Dollar Tree stores and the problem I have with them is they are simply shrinking down the number of Dollar Tree items ($1.25 each) down to a very few aisles and replaces those items with more expensive options (instead of say, $1.25 disinfectant it's now on a different aisle at $3.75-$4.50)

Excellent

I hated working at Family Dollar. I’ve never worked so hard in my life for such little money. 😢

Family Dollar is one of the dirtiest understaffed stores I'll never enter again.

My family dollar in bronx is too small, not enough employees

Fired guy from Homestead, Florida is not surprising. The abusive men culture towards employees in south florida is quite normal. Why wasn't mid management involved to catch that bad store manage first?

Family Dollar is always understaffed. That makes the job pretty dang hard.

This is a well and good but what about all those employees out there that have it just as hard or even harder? CEO’s like to show they care by helping a handful of employees instead of helping all employees across the company. They would rather dish out $20,000 to a few employees instead of giving all employees a raise.

No Family Dollar I've been in looks so clean this is a put on!

I wish he could come to family dollar in nampa idaho, the store is a joke. The story's of what happens there is horrible They even had guy shot and killed in parking lot Homeless people are all over begging Customers for money They can't keep managers there because how they are treated . In the 10 years I been shopping there it has had over 20 managers that has quit On daily basis They have contant thiefs walking out with items setting off sensor alarms This is just a few of things going on at that store I went in one morning and witnessed the manager walking out with complete bed comforter set with out going threw checkout , she placed it in her car Store definitely needs help

The manager should have also been arrested for making a threat to his employees because that’s uncalled for. Managers on a power trip need to be physically taken down a peg or two especially threatening violence. They can hem and haw when told the undercover boss fires them but threaten to have that same manager arrested and watch them crumble and instantly regret their actions or for them to take off running when they see a police cruiser pull up.

I saw these episodes. I wish more CEOs would do this. But most are greedy and don't give af

Awesome!

I wish I could have talked with the CEO of Family Dollar. I heloed run K-marts years earlier. There were so many problems the CEO of K-marts would not address. One big one was service! They are now gone. Going into Family Dollar showed me major problems. I hear now that the company is failing. This is still true after Dollar Tree bought them.

Family dollar in my hometown refused to fix the air conditioning in the store for whole summer. Felt so bad for the employees. Horrible considering he's a billionaire.

I'll never forget the look on the Rally's manager's face when he said on CEO for his company. He knew he f#*!# up at that point, and I have had a manger just like him.

What i get from these programs is that the poor employees are the ones responsible for the richness of the rich owners, who don't know a thing about their own businesses.

Why nobody sees the cameraman?🤔

What baffles me is why do they wear bad disguises when nobody knows who they are and what they look like? 🇬🇧

Become suspicious when someone says they are participating in a reality show and pay no attention to the cameras.

If these bosses can't even master simple tasks- why are they running big companies?

Family dollar was bought by Dollar tree and now they are closing at least 1000 stores!

God bless everyone.

Every time I see this video this guy reminds me of Key & Peele. I'm just waiting for the guy to say hey A-Aron

awesome

There should never be more than one person on any forklift

The first boss doesn't seem to have done anything to fix the safety issue of the clogged conveyor belt.

WOW ! Super BOSS

He should do that for all employees not just the ones that are exposed.

This was one of my prior clients. Great people to work with but as they grew, they lost their identities in the 90s

These shows can be very entertaining and also horrifying. I was wroking in an animation studio in London and it was a lovely sunny day and the American, woman production supervisor couldn't understand how the freelancers could say: "Nah, we're going to the park today. We'll be in tomorrow! It's too nice a day to come in. It seems, judging by these shows that American workers are little more than slaves granted virtually no work/life balance. It's corporate hell. Much as I love these shows, they don't ring true. Here for example, we have a guy saying he puts up with a shitty job because he needs to make money. Are we really expected to believe that he doesn't know that the guy he is talking to is the Undercover Boss?!!! Would you slag a company off on national TV, knowing that it would be seen by the company employing you when you desperately need the work? You would have to be really, really thick not to realise what was going on, hence the land-grabby, sob stories employees tell in the hope that there is some payoff to be had while the bosses shed crocodile tears and often look like they are just pretending to care. God, I would HATE to live in America. Their health care is a bad joke and they are just slaves yet are deluded into thinking they are free.

What i dont understand. I told them an employee stole a state check (federal offense) even showed proof and he still has his job. And to boot, a third of the time shows up drunk. And they still let him work.

This is all HYPE for TV

Stories like these are like reality-check crack but, as mentioned by many, go into their higher corporate and see where they are getting screwed from the top, the folks they find working hard, and mostly struggling too, and reward them, makes me happy in an unusual vicarious way...

family dollar is no deal , same prices as walmart.

The one thing I've seen in many episodes is they throw people on a forklift. You have to have alot of know how on a fork lift, not one hour.

Where I live the main problem with Checkers is they are ungodly slow. I have waited over 15 minutes for fast food even when there are only 2 or 3 cars in the line. Food tastes ok but not worth the wait. Sometimes the workers get the food wrong as it comes out made different than the last time. Crap shoot.

This is a good video.

Well done for sacking that manager got too big for his boots

Many companies have such problems and many much worse than we ever hear of. It’s all management issues that just slide until something breaks not to mention all the collateral damage along the way.

"Lets train you on how to use this forklift.... oh you don't already know how to? You're fired" lol this show has to be staged. 🤣🤣

Something worth watching recommended by KZfaq

Dose any of the employees ever wonder why this new guy has a camera crew following them

Family dollar needs to fix it's application process and stop asking for extended family info

nice

How do they not notice the cameras watching everything?

I don’t understand the point about a paid vacation? Surely every employee has a bare minimum of 20 days paid holiday a year or pro-rata of the number of days they’re working?

Family Dollar doesn't trade on the stock exchange.

I know a manager from family dollar in webster Wisconsin that is Embezzling money and stealing merchandise from the store she works at

Ha, the best manager got a Chatlie Brown trick or treat compared to everyone else. "I got a rock"

Family dollar and dollar tree is shutting down stores so I guess Mike's idea didn't work

Just some bad disguises.

Id know right away if something like this happened especially with a camera crew

These shoes are so fake. Who really acts like that to a brand new employee and tells them everything in their heart

This is why I don't have a job

I worked at FD in Williams, AZ, as an ASM. I worked there for 2 years until 5/3/23. I had to leave due to the fact that my manager was sleeping with the new guy he was also an ASM, and their behavior was disgusting . I didn't approve, and everyone kept telling me not to go to corporate because "karma Rhonda karma " so I didn't, I didn't want to be the snitch. Let me tell you, in my 39 years in the work field, I had never experienced the vulgar behavior of someone who was supposed to be a team leader. So, I started calling them out on their disgusting behavior. On 5/3/23 the 2 of them attacked me verbally telling me no likes me just random stupid shit.I called the DM told her what had been going on and what had just happened needless to say the 2 of them are still working there... The customers were telling me all kinds of unethical behavior they witnessed it was embarrassing.

Family dollar is a terrible company. The majority of their stores are in urban areas. They keep their safes in a place they shouldn't. Which causes the stores to be robbed. This places customers and employees in danger.

Rick doesn't seem like he fits in as a under cover worker. He just looks like a boss or someone in ownership . He's kinda tall lol . Dead giveaway

They've got to know that hair is fake. 😂😂

gave RecapReport a glowing review a few days ago. Today though, there is something lacking. I think it is the condensed summary of peformance review.

I don't go to a family Dollar once a year because they're always a disaster You can't find anything stuff's all over the floor and in the way and there's one employee trying to run the register stock and do everything I would choose Dollar tree anytime over family Dollar least they have four or five employees in there

Family dollar don't care for their employees.

i use to love checkers but the last 3 times i ate at them they gave me the runs.

Assuming this isn't scripted - always a major assumption with reality TV - why the hell would that Steven guy act like that in front of the cameras ? If he was an actor bought in to add some spice to the episode, why would the employees go along with it ? Reality TV is weird at the best of times, but I have to wonder if this guy had a medical issue or if he simply wanted to get fired. Workers on minimum wage really dont have a lot to lose by just throwing that spatula on the floor and walking out.

They treat their employees like 💩 AND it shows¡

same story every time. Just that this never happened for me at my job even tho I was the #1 rated person at my spot out of all of 2200 stores

I'm sure employees don't have a clue about the boss with all the video team..
