His week-long tour as an employee of the company at different stores brings in front of Chris McCann some of the harsh reality of his company. In New Jersey while Chris McCann helps Pauline to arrange flowers, he learns thatdesigners are unhappy about the fact that the boss of the “1-800-Flowers” does not entertain any new idea. Pauline complains how she and her colleagues are frustrated about the fact that they have to work with the same old things in “1-800-Flowers“.

In Ohio, he works in the Fanny May chocolate Factory of the company, and is told by one of the colleagues, Nicole that the goals set by the boss of the company are too high to meet. While during his visit to Boston outlet his identity is almost revealed, his visit to Massachusetts outlet shows the horrible state of the store which has practically nothing to do. The show which marked the culmination of this season of “Undercover Boss” was made interesting with the tracing of the journey of the “1-800-Flowers” boss Chris McCann.
