Well, I used to work in restaurants and bars since I was age 15 until like 27 (no bars until I was legal, promise), but they weren't fancy. But they WERE in LA and everyone for sure did want to be a Mactor ( excluding me and a few other college kids). Hence my love for this show. The dramas and shenanigans definitely happen.Hilarious memories. And YES many ( most) did drink and do drugs on shift. (I mean it is an easy yet stressful and demanding/ demeaning job, a little pep might be needed). . We just didn't advertize it like these idiots. Hurray, this show is comedy gold.
