"And I'm not just talking about the opening sequence, which has returned with the new SUR-vers spilling cocktails and scattering rose petals as they've never mopped a sticky restaurant floor in their entire lives. With this reboot, it's hard to really know all the players, understand their personality quirks, or figure out who might be correct in any given argument. However, there is one place where it's very easy to judge people's behavior, and that is on the job."
"First up is Marcus, who was placed on suspension at the end of the first episode after being caught drinking on the job. He has drinks with his (somehow even hotter) brother, Aaron, and says, "Everyone drinks on the job. I just got caught." Girl, that is not true. Doctors don't. Nor do air-traffic controllers, bus drivers, elementary-school teachers (but not high-school teachers), Sephora employees, or blackjack dealers. Honestly, most people don't drink on the job."
The reboot returns the show to a workplace setting where SUR-vers spill cocktails and scatter rose petals without ever mopping sticky restaurant floors. The cast's personalities and alliances remain unclear after the reboot, but job performance provides an easier basis for judgment. Marcus was suspended after being caught drinking on the job and claimed everyone drinks at work, a claim countered with examples of professions that do not. Venus alludes to Marcus drinking excessively. Marcus bringing supermarket roses to Lisa to try to get his job back demonstrates poor workplace judgment and unprofessional behavior.
