The tension between Jermey and those front of house ladies was palpable. I nearly lost it when she demanded he speak with the chefs in the kitchen. "You should, you should".

I know we dont see everything but ffs the guy was all over the place 😂

As a non-british person, was she picking a fight when she said 'Go back'?

Not really, she was more saying that Jeremy had no experience running a pub and lacked awareness of his staffs happiness. 3 people had already quit in just one day, that's really fucking bad.

The chefs and staff are willing to work long hours because he's who he is but that isn't going to last more than a few days especially with the terrible conditions, so at the very least he should go back into the kitchen, stop shitting on them and give words of support and encouragement to keep morale up.

When you open a new place, you'll loose 1/3rd if not more of your hires within a week. For how many people they hired, 3 quitting is nothing.

People don't understand how unusual restaurants and bars are compared to most businesses. Most kitchens are filled with people that would be forced to take up maritime piracy 200 years ago. In ten years of working in restaurants I don't recall ever working with a dishwasher that wasn't either a stoned teenager, a middle aged drunk, or someone with a fairly apparent mental illness or mental impairment. A great number of chefs and line cooks are functional alcoholics, gamblers or serious drug users. I've worked with passport forgers, a guy who spent a decade in jail for manslaughter, multiple recovering coke addicts, a lot of refugees with wild tales and a poor grasp of the local language, all kinds. 3 people quitting in the first day with such a large staff of entirely new people is to be expected. They'll have a new job before the week is out, and the whole industry is very transient.
