| Support the Girls / int_7426582d | comment |
Token Minority: Invoked and discussed. Danyelle is the only black girl who works during her shift, because Cubby doesn't allow for more than one at a time. Same for Latinas. | |

Married to the Job | |
| Support the Girls / int_775a1af6 | comment |
Married to the Job: It's suggested that Lisa has this kind of relationship to her work, with her marriage failing partially because of it. When one of the girls references this by name, Lisa is pretty uncomfortable with the implications. | |

Fanservice with a Smile | |
| Support the Girls / int_7c0056d4 | comment |
Fanservice with a Smile: Double Whammies is a prototypical "breastaurant" where the waitresses are scantily clad, though Lisa asserts it's a family-friendly place in spite of it. | |

All for Nothing: Lisa's job troubles start when she bends the rules to fundraise for legal help for Shaina after she hits her Jerkass boyfriend with her car. She later discovers that Shaina has gotten back together with him and plan to use the money for his hospital bills, leaving her infuriated and demanding the money back. In the same scene, she learns that her husband has moved out right after she quit to spend more time with him and work on their relationship. | |
