Synopsis | What do you get when you mix one-part disenchanted tomboy waitress who just dumped her loser boyfriend, one-part overly pontificating know-it-all seasoned bartender, and one-part recently jilted blue-collar droop who just isn't doing well with the ladies? You get the situation at shift-change at Shannahann's Pub. A light-hearted take on bar culture and protocol, where Gregg, fresh from a breakup, receives hilarious coaching on the art of picking up women from the garrulous barkeep, Pete. While he's more bemused than bolstered, his intended departure is halted when he encounters the pub's beautiful, hard-nosed waitress Vicki, who, after some coy, heated banter, provides him with a simpler solution to his romantic problem. |
