I’ve had my doubts about “Undercover Boss.” In any company, there are bound to be employees with sad stories, and setting up a scholarship fund or training program for one employee is bound to cause misgivings among the rest of the workforce.

I recently did a barter deal that sort of got "hijacked" at the end. I went overboard picking up FREE body wash via coupons lately and had way more than I needed. Sooooo... I traded a couple dozen bottles of body wash for a 1 liter bottle of "Grey Goose" vodka because I heard good things about it and wanted to give it a try. I picked up the Grey Goose on a Friday and the next day, just hours before I planned on opening it and partaking of its pleasures, I was at the supermarket and ran into a friend of mine, Ray. Well, I told Ray I couldn't wait to get home to try out the Grey Goose. Ray then BEGGED me to sell it to him because it turned out that Grey Goose is his favorite liquor. I told him I really wanted to have it for myself but Ray kept on begging and asked for my address. So I gave it to him and he was over at my place within an hour with thirty bucks for the Grey Goose. And now I have to try to do another barter deal for the Grey Goose. Based on Ray's reaction, I really need to get another bottle and try it for myself.

Hmmm... Wondering if the Grey Goose guy would be open to trading for 3 dozen bottles of low dose aspirin?

I'm with you. Every week they find an employee w/ medical bills, sickly mother, etc.
We watched a few episodes and decided they go out of the way to find these employees. Got to be SSDD.

The worst was the hotel chain CEO.
He made a point of flaunting his wealth. Wanted to bi#@h slap him.

I have a friend that was in a Lizard Lick Towing episode.
You have to sign a release stating if you start a fight, which they encourage, the 'stars' are going to fight back and if they hurt you, tough.
