That apology from the chef who yelled at his line cooks actually felt real to me

I'm probably in the minority here, but I watched that whole 12 minute video from the Portland restaurant owner and I think he meant it. He said "I don't just need to hire better people, I need to be a better person" and that hit different because he didn't blame the stress or the service rush. He broke down exactly what he said to that one prep cook back in March, quoted himself word for word, and admitted it was humiliation not discipline. Most apologies I see on this sub are just PR teams typing vague stuff like "I'm sorry if anyone was hurt." This guy named the date, the shift, and the specific insult he threw. He also brought in an outside HR person, not his buddy from the restaurant down the street. I still think he should pay that cook for lost wages, but I don't think he's faking it. Has anyone else actually believed a public apology after the initial pile-on started? Cause I usually assume it's fake until proven real, but this one flipped me around.
