Adaptation Deviation: In Breaking Bad, Gus does not endorse meth production inside a Los Pollos Hermanos location. He has a massive underground facility to do so, yet one of the webtoons show an LPH restaurant containing what is strongly implied to be a meth lab.

Artistic License – History: When Gustavo is discussing the prohibited use of cameras in "Code of Conduct", the animation shows a Los Pollos Hermanos employee taking a family selfie using their touchscreen smartphone and promptly uploading it onto social media. Given that Better Call Saul primarily takes place in the early 2000s, smartphones would not be available to the general public at this moment in time, much less have any social media to upload photos and videos to.

Jerkass Has a Point: In "Customer Service", an animated version of Ken is shown angry that his order was incorrect; Gus acknowledges that while his tone leaves a lot to be desired, that doesn't make his complaint invalid. It's only when he starts getting overtly belligerent and threatening that he crosses the line.

 Los Pollos Hermanos Employee Training (Web Animation) / int_8797239c
comment
Bait-and-Switch: "Conflict Resolution" presents a scenario where communication is needed to prevent resentment — a hypothetical employee, "Diego", feels his co-worker, "Maxine", wasn't doing a good enough job wiping down the counter, and Maxine is annoyed that her contribution was underappreciated. The first choice of response given is passive-aggressive, and belittles her; the second is sarcastic and demeans her. Gus's solution? Instead of offering to help, he uses the passive-aggressive response, phrased as a statement, in an icy cold voice while never losing eye contact.

Asshole Victim: Ken in "Customer Service" starts making a scene going on a rampage over a wrong order and even refuses a correct order. Gus then makes him come to his office, and at the end when Ken walks out he's disturbed and shaken to the core at whatever Gus did to him in there.

comment
Continuity Nod / Continuity Porn: Jesse and Jane are eating at Los Pollos Hermanos. Jane is choking on her food, but then Gus arrives and applies Heimlich, saving her. Jesse thinks to himself "Heimlich Maneuver, bitches!" Ken (yes, Ken Wins) is the angry customer who makes a total Jerkass of himself in one video ripping up a customer complaint letter, throwing a salt shaker at the cashier, angrily stomping on the table and yelling. Gus orders him to come into his office, and some time later Ken walks out visibly disturbed and uneasy. Blue meth can be seen boiling in a beaker in a restricted room even employees aren't allowed in. One of the employees also gets arrested for bringing a plastic bag of it to work. Gus orders his employees to pour in oil used to fry chicken into orange barrels. Gus portrays himself as a mediator between conflicts in the video "Conflict Resolution". The supplier for the chemicals that Walt and Jesse use to cook, Golden Moth, has their logo appear in multiple videos. Gus uses a green box-cutter to open a box then pauses to admire it and tells his employees to be careful while using sharp tools. Spooge's lady, first appearing in Breakage, is the person attending Gus' soup kitchen charity event in Brand Management.

Mood Dissonance: The cartoons depict horrible situations using bright images, cheery music, and pleasant narration. For instance, the 'cleanliness' video has Gus chattering about how to dispose of trash while the images show a person in a duffel bag screaming and trying futilely to escape before Gus throws the bag out for 'disposal.'

It's All About Me: The training videos only prove further just what an egomaniac Gus is. This is best demonstrated in Emergency Situations, where his animated version walks out into sniper fire to protect his employees; this is despite Gus using employees in his drug trade to secure his own safety, like in Face Off where he sends Tyrus to Casa Tranquila first to make sure it wasn't a trap.

Hypocrite: Pretty much inherent in the premise, since Gus orders his employees to be model, well-behaving people with good hearts. Gus when he orders his employees not to do any drugs on their shift. Despite being a drug lord, and having Jesse — a junkie — on his payroll. Also Gus prompts employees not to call the police if they're dealing with rude, aggressive customers in one video but in another video he warns any employee who is caught violating the "Zero Tolerance Policy" of drugs and alcohol will be handed over to the police immediately.

Artistic License: The cartoons are loaded with Breaking Bad references that audiences would pick up on, but if Los Pollos Hermanos were an actual establishment that used the cartoons to supplement training, it'd come off as unprofessional or bizarre. The first cartoon establishes this with a Mood Whiplash from Gus' cheery restaurant owner persona to a much more serious expression as he comments that "someone is always watching".
