" cheap labour doesn't come with skill, and skilled labour isn't cheap " nice one mike!!
Half Loaf they probably moved the place to New Jersey for cheaper labor and cheap real estate
gives $$$ to a few people, that show sucks because of that reason, 1,000 of people deserve not just a few!!!
$25,000 and a fuchin car.plus $50,000, gimme a break "the show" all bullshit... OTHERS, WHAT ABOUT ME i DESERVE TOO... SELFISH fuckin millionaires
I like this show I send my brother out on a carpet cleaning job he had no idea I was around the corner then I showed up he got scared
15/hr ain’t shit in nyc.
Half Loaf it funny I just told my ex boss this. Working 6 days a week 12hrs a day, in a restaurants, I cook ,prep work, dishes, keep kitchen clean, mob,break down boxes, stock...and only was getting paid 500.00 a week.... well was working here, shit was so wrong,
I'm a white british bloke who grew up on a Jamaican estate in london and I used to go to my Jamaican mates house knowing he wasn't there ... asking his mum was Samuel was there .. then saying ...ohhhh you cooking smell nice .... then getin a homemade Jamaican patty. ...
GREAT DAYS NEVER FORGOT !
jamaica state in london? what??
@@tumado7304 Estate.
his mom’s name is Samuel???
Typical white man teef up da black man property! lol joke ;)
So are most Arab/African people
It's sad that the owner passed away a few years ago. He seemed like a decent guy.
@gabriel gervais he killed himself .that is sad he seems a greta guy
May He Rest In Paradise ❤️ Amazing Man!
He was...n a hard working king...who made his mark in America..💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿❤️🇯🇲
@gabriel gervais goes to show...someone looks great, got that million dollar smile & outward apperance, but inside....problems. we all got problems, but some got a whole heap more than we do
Oh that is sad to hear!
I love the stories in this episode...no lazy useless employees. No one had to be fired. Beautiful positive story.
Why on earth does the CEO dress up like a Jamaican weed smoker to go undercover ? His clothes and hair at east need to reek awfully of it to come across correctly...
Same here (soz know am writing to post of yours 3 years ago) really positive and nice, rest in peace Lowell Hathorne. Really positive story.
@@kiopyu78 oh my goodness I didnt know he died and suicide. How horrible and sad! When you get to the point when all your hope is gone is like being the walking talking breathing dead people.
The second chef.... So much passion just as the first chef... In fact the Mike guy blew my mind with that quote "cheap labour doesn't come with skill and skilled labour doesn't come cheap".... Too much wisdom there
That first cashier lady is ridiculously gorgeous. That bone structure is so amazing.
@@avinci3116 😂😂😂
Alex Vinci if that was a girl saying that about a man no one would question it but this is creepy, really, it’s not, someone is just complementing a person
@@avinci3116 Ffs - so now it's bad to pay a beautiful lady a compliment ?. The 'statement' is correct, she's stunning !
\/
Are u blind?
"Can I embrace you?" This man is so tough even when he is emotional 😭
You made me laugh.
Tanx man
THATS AWESOME 😭😭😭😭😭
Odean is an inspiration, goal orientated and a hard worker and my goodness, he is so easy on the eye
Sarah he too young fi you😂😂😂
Mmm mmm mmm
All of the employees had such an excellent attitude. This is possibly the best Undercover Boss episode I've ever seen.
I love it when jamaicans go out in the world and left a foot print
Tribe of Benjamin!! Youngest son of Jacob.
they did jamaica pround and came across really well
Yes, for such a small island Jamaica has left a big footprint. Music, good and culture and food and relax.
Seen! A suh we fi duh! A yah suh nice!
Many memories of a good jamaican friend of mine, travels around the world inspiring many with his positive energy. They certainly fo leave footprints :)
RIP Lowell Hawthorne you’ve done amazing things for the people. May your name and brand live on forever ❤
Wow he die?
@@daindedricks798yeah. he shot himself in his office a year after this
Man I regret coming to the comments after watching that uplifting episode. But wow I just read about him and didn't believe he could do that over some income tax debts! He was worth so much he should've fought over it in court instead he left a grieving wife and children to deal with it. Not fair. I'll never understand people that do that.
I’m so sad that Mr.Hawthorne is no longer with us. ☹️☹️ God Bless his soul and his family here on earth 🙏🏼🙏🏼
"Only me can stop me." That should be on a sign in every town, school, and anywhere else people need to be inspired.
well.. he did stop himself... he commited suicide.. the sign would give the wrong message.
@@stephanos2758 It wasn't the boss that said that, it was Odean (I think)
@@stephanos2758 LOLOL! Sorry... twisted humour. Gotta be honest, laughed at first read. But thats sad if it's true... may God bless his soul.
@@stephanos2758 where does it say he passed away.. I just looked at his Instagram the last post was this February... @kruzivxmusic
especially on stop signs
I suddenly feel my life isn't complete without a Jamaican friend.

@The Truth about Africa hurts not all jamaicans are the same, that's a very disrespectful comment...
@The Truth about Africa hurts gtfo with your racist name and comments!
John Marlon, one love 🙏🏾
It isn't😂
Hope that Golden Krust franchises will someday open up across Europe. I love Jamaican food so much. A great concept; clearly a very successful business. The owner seems very genuine too.
I got hungry, we need one in Den Haag, Nederland :D
I never tried Jamaican food but for me European food is the best.
Strange I only one race in that company
Never tried Jamaican food, but I love Goat. In Greece, we eat goat or lamb ..usually around Easter holidays!
@@proudmen1220 It's not strange at all. In America most businesses are completely 100% European Americans that are white. Why is it strange when another race does it.... odd thinking.... strange.
@@testahuh That's a lie.
Of course in America 60%+are white like in black African countries over 99%are black.
Not enough diversity.
Four years ago this episode came out, and I just watched it today. I'm proud of this company not just a company but a JAMAICAN COMPANY 👍🙏
The guy killed himself ,turns out he cheating his workers for millions in over time and was going to get charged for tax fraud so he killed himself in his office with a self inflicted shot to the head.
What does that mean
Yesss
Me too, that's good stuff
Just watched it then googled the company and found out that Lowell Hawthorne was found dead with a self inflicted gunshot wound in 2017 😔
Durant’s chill level when he says ‘Can I embrace you’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah that caught my attention too
He impressed me very much, they were all wonderful but he really knew he had that in him, it must be hard to come to work every day and know you have greatness in you If only you could be lifted up. This was a brilliant show, it should have been shown in schools everywhere, what fine examples to show kids
He is something! 😎
It could be because close contact of some jamaican people to spanish speakers, in spanish "embrazar" it's an archaism that means "to hug" and it's almost identical, and the modern word "abrazar"; it happens the same with mexican people that live closer to the north, they use words or forms of the spanish language that are not the usual way of saying it in spanish but are closer to the english way of saying it.
The dude in Florida “bro’d” me to death 💀
Lmfaooo bro
I swear I thought he was from Orange County, CA with the excessive use of "Bro."
lmao forreal
we nuh come here fi skin teet broooo
lol. He is fine tho
41:47 ... when the CEO said RESPECT MAN , that did it for me
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE EPISODE OF THIS ENTIRE SERIES. Everyone is just so lovely!!!!!!!
Ofcourse 🙄 because of their skin
The boss killed himself 2017 😭
@@proudmen1220 Oh, I didn't even think of that. I just they were lovely all around.
I feel so proud to be watching this as a Jamaican.
he died
Hi
He committed suicide 🙃
@@jeffd118 really thr guy who went undercover
He took the easy way out @Tamara D
Jerger deserves everything she was an awesome worker
@Stewart Cameron ???!
@@lucmay2515 nypost.com/2017/12/03/golden-krust-ceo-killed-himself-over-tax-debt-fears-of-probe/ this guy shot himself from what i read
@@s1phor oh nooooo.i just saw that.He came so far ro end it all like that.Can only imagine how defeated he must have felt.Oh Lord.My heart is broken for him and everyone.
I love jamaican patties. This was one of the best CEO's who literally cared about his employees. Only a person, who has come up the hard way realizes the struggle that the employees face. Kudos.
" by 2020 everyone will be eating my jamican padies"
corona: ima end this whole mains carrer.
Lol 😭😭 I was thinking the same thing
He committed suicide in one of hes manufactory stores many years ago rip
@@noleftturns2468 wtf fr?
No Left Turns wait what
He killed him self 1 year after this
Odean is so mature for 22! His interview at the end was great felt like I was watching a movie there, keep up the good work Odean
Lara_Taar btw you know he didn’t give him a franchise he is only waving the 25k franchise fee. Oden is still going to need to come up with the money for the location the buildout all equipment and products so it’s not that great.
PCA PRO better than starting from nothing Asshole
Dimpleface Harriétte also if by some miracle he was able to raise all that capital at the end of the day he will have to keep paying franchise fees and commissions to this guys companies also will be required to buy all products and equipment from the franchiser for the rest of his life. So basically he will recover his 25,000 lost fee. It didn’t really cost him anything to begin with.
So as to your comment better than nothing. No it is nothing that he received.
Why didn’t he just give him the $25,000 in cash and see if the guy could start a hot dog cart or food truck. He then could make more than minimum and eventually open a restaurant of his own.
Yeap
"I want to be a nurse, my kids a really excited for me" "I am going to do EVERYTHING I CAN to keep her in the golden crust system" bahahaha
Portion 2 he guess 3
I think it was a very selfish act, she really wanted to go into nursing and he would only give her the money if she accepted his store manager position
It's hard for nurses to raise kids, expecially brand new nurses - they get crappy shifts on an inconsistent schedule. I'm glad she's going to take the store manager position, her kids will see a lot more of their mom and she's in a place where she's already an ass-kicker.
@@nolaanderson8770 Oh i totally hear ya, I just thought that line in itself was a funny way to word wanting to give her an opprotunity. But 100% good for her, who am I to say what's best for her.
Lol. I laughed at his comment. Unless he will employ her as the nurse who takes care of the ppl who becomes sick after .....
"his book and my book, that's all I see"
legend.
Amazing to see a franchise/chain actually preparing ingredients and cooking food IN THE RESTAURANT. Keep it up, dont ever lose that.
Such a nice guy shame he left so quickly may he RIP. I hope his family continue the Golden krust legacy.
HE DIED.......WHY!!!!!! ...........
tahira1 wait what?
woah thats sad
he shot himself TWICE hmmmmmmm....
he died?
This is my first time watching this and I'm crying knowing this wonderful man has passed away. May his legacy live on and his story inspire many.
Tax debt is never an easy thing in court. Even false swearing to a 1040 can bring 5 years in jail. I don't know how he structured his firm but unfortunately if he did have claim on his 71 million dollars its far more complex than a corner ethnic store like this. He needed to have professional tax counseling.
You know what you're right he is a real man and God to bless him rest in peace and at the same time all these people making those commentaries they need to step back and honestly he made a lot of people happy and that's what you need in this life no hateration
A lot of people happy? Paying minimum wage; appalling working conditions; no paid holiday; no sickness leave; no pension. Wow you have a low threshold for happiness in USA - I am happy I am European
@@johnvale3217 Like Malcolm X said the white man is the devil 🙂
@@jamamalyun1709 he's a good man and all can't take that from him but how could God bless him and he committed suicide
This second chef do his work with passion, this is what good bosses do to their employees by bringing smile to their faces and I am so sorry that he left us. RIP
"Cheap labor doesn't come with skill, and skilled labor doesn't come for cheap" Is now my favourite saying.
He such a good person gone too soon; all us Jamaican are so proud of this man, he inspired and he is blessing also love to his Family! many love from Germany
yes but under a Federal tax hearing is no small matter for a man like him. Franchising things are difficult to account for but the law is clear.
Tht light skin head chef is so real..i love him
Just found out that around the time this aired, Lowell Hawthorne was found dead after an apparent self inflicted gunshot wound.
This is so heartbreaking, what an absolutely amazing man.
RIP and thoughts are with his family ❤️
No way would I reveal that I had rumbled undercover boss. I would work my ass off, spin a whole sob story fit for cinema and act super surprised at the reveal and my oh so sweet reward for my award winning acting.
That head chef have so much integrity. I love hard workers!
‘Thats awesome. Can I embrace you?’ *with sort of cracking voice but keeping it cool* LOL!
This show is so wholesome, I just love watching people who have earned it, get what they deserve ♥
So sad that he died .. such a great legacy he build
When did he die
@@bisesakalyangu2468 dec. 2017 news say he committed suicide, some people arent convinced.
@@xyz-rd7hy thanks
@@xyz-rd7hy I ain't convinced either
@@annaleciasamuels8353 something about the Chinese wanting to buy him out and he didn't want to sell...~#allegedly
I love Jamaicans they are hard working people, respect😃
I’m so proud of this family i would love to see more black families on these types of shows
My thoughts exactly well done indeed something for us to be proud of
"This is what happiness feels like" I CRIED
Love the attitude and demeanour of the first head chef. He seems like such a chill guy and a good teacher. Isn’t patronising or condescending.
27:00 "Youre still smiling??"
"well, im alive..." :)
Omg, this is so sad. i almost couldn't keep watching it once i glanced at the comments and read the story. Damn.
What happened
Nobody seems to have mentioned, so it’s up to me.
Jerga is gorgeous and talented. She could be successful at anything she put her mind to.
There, I’ve done my duty.
She's qualified to be a nurse
@@NoudlePipW She went into nursing?!?!?!? When?!?!?
@@NoudlePipW I'm not surprised. She was kind of pressured into saying 'yes' to his offer on camera but you could tell her heart wasn't in it.
This has been one of the BEST under cover BOSS I've ever seen, the BOSS took on board all their concerns & job issues. He ammended all that he could with great interest & personal BETTERMENT in their future lives.💯🙌🏽👌🏽🇯🇲
This show should start using hidden cameras.
@Crunchy Absolutely. You are correct. If they were to use hidden cameras it could change the dynamics of the show drastically.
They need permission to film the workers so they came up with an alibi otherwise they could sue.
is just a show to entertain you and others... nothing more.
@@mayam5069 Pretty sure they wouldn't be thinking of suing because of the $$ help they receive.
Dave Thomas they do have hidden in most companies but the bosses doesn't do much about it
I like Odean he’s so funny! He’s very patient, and easy going
He is all the above and very handsome too !
Jamaicans: i can do this
Americans: i have a sob story
Yes
Let me guess you’re Jamaican?
@@user-rk5vz8bv7q nope, American
BasicallyitsCypher I’m not asking you buddy
We as black people get on with it we survived slavery and carried on with our lives like it was nothing black people are also being subjected to racism and negativity but we are still as a races a success forget about the racist systems that are designed to keep black people down we are and always have been hard workers and rich in every way
This one is so inspiring and educative. The positive energy in the young dudes and the willingness to teach someone is admirable. Great job
Tonny Ndunda HSE
6 months ago educative ? In what language is that? - and state what dictionary
Is this word found in - I wish to buy the dictionary so I can learn
your language.
It would certainly be educational.
he killed himself lol.... maybe don't use him as an inspiration.
I’m Asian but I LOVEEEEEE JAMAICAN PATTIES.. there’s always a place in my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Only found out he passed away after watching this 😞 RIP.. We need more restaurants like golden crust ✊🏽
ethical ownership and management is also essential.
Numbers&Letters food sucks got sick from eating golden dust
Who is the "he" you are talking about? The owner and head man of "GOLDEN CRUST"?
By JC NJ DC
dippster357 Yes the owner killed himself in one of the bakeries.
The best undercover boss I’ve seen 😭❤️
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE these shows! What a difference this man has made in the geese peoples lives. ❤️🙏
This is one of my favorite episodes, loved how every single one of them was so passionate about the job.....indeed God is good.
the owner lowell allegedly killed himself a couple years ago now. found with gun shots tonhis head, inside his own factory.
The food looks so freaking delicious, man that oxtail, geez living here in Germany I am dying for good Jamaican food

Mendy Peters you should check out Vybz Catering in Berlin. Their food is absolutely delicious 😋
This was by FAR the VERY BEST undercover boss I have ever watched. How amazing!!
Gutted to hear he is no longer with us
I love what he did for his workers and what they do too for him too l am proud if we as Jamaican would help each others that would be a real blessings from God.
That first lady'S smile, so captivating and makes you smile too
Everyone of the employees were so humbled....... They were more in tears than smile....... God bless them
Love this guy.He is an inspiration.
Sad he passed away but he has left a legacy.
That girl is so smart, she knew he was the ceo and said all the right things

Oh my I love this! RIP Mr. Hawthorne. I was saddened by your passing. You gave the world so much. I hope your family keeps it going.
This is what life is about being a blessing 2 others.
NO LIFE IS NOT ABOUT MAKING MONEY, ITS ABOUT JESUS.
@@marilynwillett804 there is no Jesus
This is what we are needing on Canada’s west coast!
Please start your tradition here in Vancouver.
We will welcome your team from our hearts.
"I don't believe in failure". That lady is such a great person and advocate. Any business would be lucky to have employees as passionate as her!
This is what coming to this country is all about. And nothing makes me more happy then to see a man come here with a dream, and to keep paying it forward to the people who follow from there country. Love love love it

Best undercover boss I've seen and it makes me proud to be a Jamaican watching it!

That's so sad.
Ahhh, I want to be Jamaican, cook that amazing porridge and eat patties, talk in that accent and be all cool. OK, bit difficult even for the Undercover Boss and the Almighty to grant the wish of a 63yo Irish grandmother, I can dream ☺️
Yes. Get a good Jamaican friend and come on down
😅😅
This is one of the nicest episodes I have seen, they were ALL really genuinely lovely people.
the best Underboss I've seen...it hits home being a born Jamerican myself. It's like looking at family uplift and support one another. 👍💯😊
It isi a shame he committed suicide.
Thea Sterling who care's go back to Jamaica😂😂😂
Thea Sterling what part of Jamaica do you come from?
Thea Sterling Cum outta mi head.......Lol. I love this & feel very proud of My Jamaican People!.
This episode hits home for me; makes me PROUD to be Jamerican!!
What a beautiful CEO and his staff are amazing. God Bless each and every one of them.
Rest in peace Mr. Hawthorne. Sincere overdue condolences to the family for your loss 😔🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This is the first Undercover boss episode that made me cry immensely, it was so touching. Sad to now read in the comments that the owner passed. I hope his family continues to trust God and carry on their family's legacy.
One of the best undercover Boss I have seen thus far, as a fellow Jamaican myself i was choked up while watching I fight back the tears this mean so much for me and i wasn't apart of the show. I meet the Golden krust owner before he died once and he was such a humble and respectable person RIP Hawthorne Lowell.
Mr Hawthorne is truely generous and a good boss too. He worked so hard to make his business become sucess, or somehow other people get help as well. I wish there is more gooder boss like him in this planet.
Why did he kill himself?
This is by far my favourite undercover Boss episode ever
Jamaicans are hard workers and proud people...So proud of my people. Blessed, respect, one love!!
Mr hawthorn was honestly such a great man and a loving father. I never could’ve foreseen that he’d take his life..i hope he’s resting in peace
I love when Mike said I'm alive
No amount of pain can hide ur smile 😊
He punctuates the end of every sentence with bro. 🤣
I like how the Jamaican employee instantly recognized him at 24.18 minutes .......Boss! ... Boss, you a rastaman?
Cah trick a yardi fam
David Grant That was so funny, the whole video!!! I was laughing so much 😂🤣
😂
Wish the boss had a beard or Mustang 🤓
That Mike is a great guy. The Boss seems super nice too.
Each of these employees were so special, talented, wonderful souls. ❤
The machinery behind the beauty of this world are people who have pain in their heart but decided to put a smile on their face...
This is a gold statement
Odean really touched me with what he said because this is something I've been feeling for a while now about "We didn't come here to skin teeth and play games; we come here to see if we can live the American Dream." Lately I've been feeling like everything will be okay if I can just get over there, but first I have a labyrinth of obstacles to navigate before I can get to that opportunity. I wish it was as easy as just getting on a plane but I'm really struggling... I want nothing more in my life right now than to go to America and take my shot. I'll work wherever I can find work to do just so long as I can have that chance.
His company sponsors my team🔥🔥🔥🔥 R.I.P to a great character
Sip
Wow this guy has himself some really great employees, he's a lucky man.
Dude, Jamaicans are salt of the Earth people. Love Jamaicans.
I like it when he said "People first before profit" and that's true. If you can't train the hard-working employees where's the profit gonna go. He's the best CEO I've ever seen. Care about everyone not only his company but also his family.
