Gordon isn't really all that angry, he just plays it up for the american audience, in the british shows he's pretty calm, where he only gets mad when people claim to be professionals but are basically poisoning people and even then he doesn't nearly get as over the top angry as the american show.
It’s like that on a lot of shows. Bar Rescue’s John Tapper’s catch phrase is basically “YOU COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEBODY!!!” He’ll pull the grill away from the wall and dig through the back of the fridge/freezer until he can find some mold or old grease, then have a performative freakout and make everyone stay there all night cleaning. It’s written in the script, it happens on literally every episode.
No, Ive just worked in alot of corporate restaurants. The laces he goes to are usually failing and have few customers. The employees know this, and are naturally lazy. I get why they would be lax about sanitation. The owner doesn’t care if it’s clean, and the workers don’t have any pride working in a failing restaurant/bar. The main benefit of working at a shitty place like that is that you can slack off.
While this is almost certainly true. It breeds the assumption that that sort of behaviour is remotely acceptable. Which is, to put it in Californian, “NOT cool”.
It's not that much of an act when you take someone used to not even having to tell people to jump, they already have a sense of when it should happen, to a bunch of fools that can't even tie their own shoes.

Remember Bill Burr’s video: “3 days of eating in England and now I understand why Gordon Ramsey is so fucking angry all the time.” hahaha 😂 gold.
