I do not own a TV but on the way back from this road trip, I saw at bit of the August 7th broadcast of "The Late Show with James Corden" on the TV at the Finlen Hotel and Motor Inn in Butte, Montana. The guests were Joel McHale and Betty Gilpin. The conversation seemed to have to do with getting high with Joel McHale speaking to how he once got high off a pressurized can of whip cream. This was an easy out for him in an awkward conversation. Betty Gilpin in contrast more candidly mentioned that when she was a waitress before making it as an actress that she showed up to work on marijuana every day and once gave a guest ChapStick when they asked for chopsticks.
I think her story is stereotypical of that of a lot of young people struggling with jobs they hate in their twenties. I have run into so many characters waiting tables who are kinda stuck waiting tables and not able to climb the ladder in life. What is more, their "self-medicating" is keeping them where they are.
