Something to do with 'Group Orgy Fridays'?  Perhaps hippies do have standards.  :-)

Welcome to the LA basin. EVERYTHING has to do with how attractive you are. It's the epitome of a narcissistic society.

I'll bet 99% of the applicants first question was..........can we smoke on the job?

I'll bet they get smoked outta house and home in no time flat.

Great, like that scene in the Blues Brothers:

"Well, ya get $150 for playing tonight, but you drank $250 worth of beer."

At $10/hr, you could smoke your way to bankruptcy in nothing flat, to say nothing of the cost of Twinkies and Cheetos.

Not likely--liberals don't tip worth a damn, and since Mar Vista is right next door to Santa Monica, I can tell you for a FACT that people don't like being in service industries (waitstaff, bartenders, etc.,) because the tips generally suck.
