* AnAesop: Be nice to your waiter [[BewareTheNiceOnes or you will learn the hard way.]]



* EverytownAmerica: Everything where this restaurant is located looks pretty generic, and Shennaniganz is a possible parody of Applebees, which is what almost every town in the USA has.

Meet Mitch. Today is Mitch's [[FirstDayFromHell first day]] training [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment as a server at a restaurant called Shenaniganz]]. During the film, [[AudienceSurrogate we will follow Mitch around]] as Monty acclimates him to work at this restaurant. Which involves a lot of [[MyGodYouAreSerious frontal male nudity]]. And for some reason, [[TheVoiceless nobody will let him finish a single sentence]].
