'Undercover Boss' Store Employee Mocks Her Boss in Sneak Peek

He’s fashionably late to finish his tasks. Greg Scott, CEO of women’s apparel retailer New York & Company, learns that he isn’t as speedy at some of the duties within his company as he would like to think on Undercover Boss’ Wednesday, December 28, episode, as seen in a sneak peek.

The CBS unscripted series’ preview clip shows Scott pretending to be a new hire named Brett. He works with a stock person in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where he takes a while to add the proper tags to the clothing.

“So they’re saying you should go through this box in nine minutes,” his employee admonishes. “It’s 12:27 — let’s see how fast you can get through that box.”

“I think Brett is slower than a tortoise — I wouldn’t give him a snail. I’d give him a tortoise,” she tells the camera. “I’m having to look over his shoulder to make sure he’s doing it right or putting the sensors in the right place. I think Brett needs to speed up the pace a little bit.”

The stock person doesn’t mince words when giving Scott instruction: “You can’t mess it up because then I have to come behind you and fix it, so think about that, OK?”

Another scene in the episode features Scott talking to a fitting-room stylist in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, where the CEO learns that some potential customers don’t consider the clothing company to be as hip as he might like.
