I love how the majority of the businesses on kitchen nightmares close after the appearance on the show lmao
Yeah we always look them up after the episode.
Part of it is how far gone they are by the time they ask for help I’m sure, but it’s also obvious that these kulaks are incapable of tamping down on their narcissism long enough to listen to constructive criticism.
If they knew how to run a business they wouldn’t be on that show in the first place. They just don’t have it in them to run a quality, above-board establishment that checks all the appropriate boxes. Instead, they skim by with wage theft, cutting health and safety corners, tax fraud, and generally putting a shitty product out. Giving them a nice new restaurant in 24 hours of whatever isn’t going to break all those lazy habits.
Pointing out the contradiction between how small business owners are lionized and how in reality they often can’t tell their ass from a hole in the ground is good radicalization material.
