00:22anyway one moscow mold i mean mule hey maybe that's what made me think of this you know
00:32you can touch it if you want do you have any tops with long sleeves what because i showed them
00:39moly ringwald hey maybe that's what made me think about it steve how are we coming along
00:47with the new menus because these old ones are looking pretty ratty well as you know we've always
00:52used jimmy's paper palace because you like to support local businesses and i like to be treated
00:56like a prince uh-huh so i called jimmy senior even though he turned the business over to his son
01:01jimmy
01:01jr because senior started the business and jr is not a people person right anyway turns out the
01:08business closed because of jimmy jr no covet oh but i'm sure jr didn't help
01:17have i told you about his gambling problem steve are we getting new menus or what tomorrow
01:23miss busy thank you now what emmett refuses to cook this steak medium well emmett the cow's
01:34already dead i'm not going to humiliate it
01:41okay everybody happy jacks this afternoon in my office oh happy checks that sounds fun they're not
01:51they're performance reviews i'd call them unhappy checks but nobody would show up
01:57well i'm not prepared for that oh honey you don't have to be there's no reason for everybody hating
02:03both of us no i should be in there with you we're co-owners that means we share everything
02:08even the unpleasant stuff okay fine but remember when they get mad sticks and stones may break your
02:16bones but words will never hurt me no i'm telling you they have sticks and stones
02:29sometimes it feels like a big old fight to get through the day and sleep on through the night
02:37but here you'll find a place that'll surely lift your spirits
02:48so how often do we do these happy check review thingies oh not often kind of like flossing you
02:54only do it when you need it that's not how flossing works at all i don't know it just feels
03:02so weird
03:02criticizing people who are like family well sometimes mama and daddy have to yell at the
03:08kids for peeing in the tomato plants
03:12nobody here is doing that right but i had a cousin that did get in trouble for that
03:18we stopped eating salads at their house
03:23okay ew we're not actually going to yell at them though are we oh of course not
03:29well maybe emmett iron sharpens iron but you don't have to be here i mean offer still stands
03:36no we're in this together okay so who's up first okay steve you're up
03:43i got you a little gift
03:47just because i'm a nice person who likes doing nice things for other nice people
03:53uh-huh that's sweet uh are they for both of us
03:57okay
04:01steve when we ask you questions
04:03you answer with way too many details okay if i may defend myself you may not
04:10just knock it off okay
04:13fine you know what these are for nice people
04:17you bet tell him that he's up
04:24yikes that was a little rough
04:26what are you talking about
04:27i mean you just tossed it out there hey steve we have a problem with you here it is
04:37he's a big boy he'll be fine
04:48here i got you these
04:52completely independent of steve
04:55emmett you need to stop hooting and hollering at the customer whenever they order food in a way you don't
05:01like
05:02well if i don't yell how are they gonna know
05:05they won't
05:06they'll eat the food they ordered without your opinion
05:10they'll pay for it and we'll call it a restaurant
05:14fine
05:16and we know it will be delicious because you're such a great chef
05:20keep up the good work soldier
05:25war is hell
05:29what was that all about
05:30a compliment
05:33not surprised you didn't recognize it
05:36do you have a problem with the way i'm doing these reviews
05:39no as a matter of fact i do
05:41you're upsetting people
05:44nobody likes criticism but we get over it
05:47just like i'm gonna get over the way you're talking to me right now
05:52if you compliment someone before you criticize them and then end with a compliment
05:56people tend to take the criticism much better
05:59it's called a compliment sandwich and it totally works
06:02tons of studies say so
06:03mm-hmm seriously
06:04who are these people doing these studies
06:07because they sound like a bunch of whiny babies to me
06:10can we just try my way please
06:12you know if it works
06:14isn't it worth it taking a little extra time to spare someone else's feelings
06:19fine
06:19but if it doesn't work i'm sending you some of my cousin's tomatoes
06:29so how'd your review go
06:30well apparently i take too long to give answers to very simple questions
06:36but details are necessary
06:38without them you have no context
06:40without context you don't have understanding
06:42and without understanding you have nothing
06:45well i guess they'd rather live in ignorance
06:48thank you
06:49thank you how do yours go
06:50well i'm not supposed to complain about customers who are idiots
06:56what you worked really hard on your recipes
06:58you're entitled to get upset when someone doesn't appreciate them
07:02you should be able to talk as much as you want
07:04because you're a funny little guy
07:09and you're a tall man who speaks the truth
07:13oh are the baby's feelings hurt after a little criticism
07:18let me play you a sad song on the world's smallest cello
07:29um you're supposed to play the world's smallest violin
07:31that looks like you're brushing your knees
07:34well i don't know how to play the violin
07:36because my mom said playing the violin
07:38would make me look like a giant
07:41well we're not being babies we can take criticism
07:44yeah i just don't like it
07:47you want me to give you a little advice
07:50no
07:52always expect the worst
07:54you can't get too low if you're already living in the basement baby
08:00listen to yo-yo ma
08:03gabby you're up
08:05all right mccallister
08:08give it to me straight
08:09i can take it
08:11i warmed up earlier by facetiming my mom with no makeup
08:18actually gabby isabella will be leading your review
08:21ah okay sanchez
08:24hit me where it hurts
08:28gabby you are one of the best bartenders i've ever seen
08:36okay
08:38the customers love you
08:40the staff loves you
08:41i mean even the mean guy who delivers the beef loves you
08:45well
08:46he's not so bad
08:47once you figure out which eye to look at
08:52you're a valuable part of this team
08:54and we are so so lucky and so so grateful
08:57to have you
08:59wow um
09:03okay this is the best day of my life
09:06thank you guys
09:07hang on
09:09you hadn't finished your sandwich
09:13what
09:15there is one thing we'd like you to work on
09:18we feel that sometimes you tend to overshare a little with the customers
09:25overshare
09:27how do i overshare
09:30well like that time a customer ordered a reuben sandwich and you told them how you dated a circus clown
09:36named reuben
09:37who dumped you at a greyhound bus station
09:42he claimed there was no room in his car and everyone knows that is a lie
09:48time to slap on that other piece of bread
09:52but what we really want you to carry away from here is that you are a vital piece of the
09:57happiest place family
10:00still the best day of your laugh
10:04okay i'm confused
10:05okay i'm confused
10:06you complimented me
10:07then you criticized me
10:09but then you complimented me again
10:11exactly yes
10:14why are you playing with my mind
10:20you lowered my defenses so i wasn't prepared when you kicked me between the cello holders
10:32and here i thought gluten-free was the worst kind of sandwich
10:37liver and onions no onions are you nuts liver needs help
10:44it's wrong but you can't say anything
10:47are we suddenly supposed to not care this is insanity
10:52man i cannot believe them
10:55what what'd they say
10:56well after emotionally waterboarding me
10:59they said that i overshare with the customers
11:04you oversharing
11:07did they mean over caring
11:10you are not just a bartender you're a therapist
11:14a psychic
11:15a minister
11:16your personal stories have probably saved lives
11:21maybe pull it back a little bit
11:24hey can you guys keep it down in there
11:26the customers can hear you out here
11:28oh really
11:28well don't tell the bosses
11:30or it'll end up on my next happy check
11:33what do you mean
11:34well dakota i can't help but notice
11:36that you were not called into the office
11:38why is that because you're perfect
11:40or because you're a spy
11:44i'm not a spy
11:45well well well look who thinks he's perfect
11:50i don't think i'm that either
11:52i'm just like you guys
11:53i've got tons of flaws
11:55name one
11:56well
11:57one time i
12:00one time you what
12:01you couldn't come up with a life fast enough
12:03yeah
12:06sorry undercover boss
12:07but i ain't signing a waiver
12:12you guys gotta help me
12:14i need a happy check
12:15a bad one
12:17what's gotten into you
12:19everyone's ticked off for you guys
12:21and they think i'm a spy
12:23a spy that's crazy
12:26if anything you're a teacher's pet
12:29get down they might hear you
12:31wait hold on
12:32what do you mean everyone's ticked off at us
12:34i don't know if i should say
12:36why not they already think you're a spy
12:40oh man
12:41this must be why james bond doesn't have any friends
12:47oh oh where are you going
12:49i'm going to go talk to them
12:51i don't want them upset
12:52but i think if i explain to steve and emmett
12:55that their reviews weren't as bad as you made them sound
12:58they'll feel better
12:59so you think this is all my fault
13:01how do you explain gabby's reaction
13:04can we ever explain gabby's reaction
13:07isabella listen to me
13:09talking to them is only going to make it worse
13:10the best thing we can do is just leave them alone
13:16i'm gonna go talk to them
13:19i hope they listen to you better than you listen to me
13:27i just don't find it fair when i try to do it in the nicest way possible
13:31oh i'm sorry i can't take a criticism unless you tell me how wonderful i am first
13:38isabella let it go
13:39no i don't want them to be upset
13:42especially because my critiques weren't even that big a deal
13:45okay
13:48what what was that
13:52come on ladies
13:54where i come from
13:55snorting leads to hair pulling
13:58i just think it is really easy for certain people
14:00not to expect other people to get upset at those certain people
14:04when those certain people never have to get criticized by those other people
14:11now are you certain people and i'm other people or am i other people and you're certain people
14:17all i know is it is really easy for you too because you never have to get criticized
14:22wait is that what's bothering you
14:23yeah
14:25well would it make you feel better if you all got to criticize us
14:27yeah
14:28wait wait
14:30no we don't want to do that
14:33what's the problem it only seems fair
14:35yeah bobby what's the problem it only seems fair
14:40i don't have to be fair i'm the boss
14:46last time i sat in a circle like this i was only allowed to use my first name
14:53so what the heck is this again
14:55well uh just as bobby and i had some suggestions for you about how you do your jobs
14:59we thought you might have something to say about how we do our jobs
15:03yeah well not to your face
15:06would you prove this
15:07sure i mean i don't know whatever just join the circle
15:11uh i think what bobby means to say is that we are walking into this with open minds and hearts
15:17and closed fists
15:21we are doing this so that there are no hard feelings and everybody feels heard
15:25well i would just like to say isabella that that is truly admirable
15:29you're a real leader
15:31oh well thank you
15:35except you build people up just to tear them down
15:40you're like a taylor swift revenge song
15:44really you didn't see that coming
15:47gabby i'm not just trying to build you up i actually think you do a great job
15:52okay save it sister
