Line 9:
{{quote| '''Manny:''' I'm Manny the manager. It's not a joke, it's just my name.<br />
'''Buffy:''' Right. You mentioned that a couple of times when I filled out the application. }}
* [[Bad Job, Worse Uniform]]
* [[Be Careful What You Wish For]]: Buffy gets her job back in exchange for keeping quiet about the [[Secret Ingredient]]. Her new manager is pleased with her attitude and proudly shows off her 5-year pin.
{{quote| '''Lorraine:''' See this? I want you shooting for this from here on out.<br />
Line 18:
* [[Captain Obvious]]: Buffy goes over to a filing cabinet. On top of it is a large plastic jug marked "Dehydrated Pickles."
{{quote| '''Manny:''' That's the dehydrated pickle storage. (Buffy tries to open the filing cabinet but it's locked) Those are locked.}}
* [[Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are]]: {{spoiler|Buffy being stalked by the Wig Lady. "I know you're under there."}}
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Buffy mentions working as a waitress "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)/Recap/S3 E1 Anne|that summer in LA]]". Xander says he thought Jonathan would have learned his lesson from the events of "Superstar".
* [[Description Cut]]: Spike telling Buffy, "This place will kill you" to Gary's death scene.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Loads of this starting with [[Double Entendre|the name]] [[Twin Threesome Fantasy|of the restaurant]] and eventually ending with a demon shaped like... Well, imagine an eight-foot-long [[Alien|chest]][[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|burster]] with no arms and an even larger, rounder forehead, which spits thin streams of pale fluid (and was defeating by a lesbian cutting it off to save her [[The Paralyzer|helpless]] female friend from it, although I am {{[[[Late to The Punchline]] or was}}] doubtful that that was the intended [[Subtext]]). The fact that the "Buffy At Work" The Making Of documentary used a clip of Buffy watching a video of "[[Gorn|the cow and chicken coming together for the first time]]" (the back of a television emitting frantic moos and clucks was all that was shown of that part of the worker orientation video) when a ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' writer who worked for a video store was talking about pornography, especially with [[Mix -and -Match Critters|the Doublemeat mascot]], implies that the [[Interspecies Romance|doublemeat subtext]] was intentional. (But despite that, who ''doesn't'' want [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|one of those hats, or a plush toy of the mascot]]?)
** And, just in case it wasn't obvious enough, see Willow describing the demon to Tara in "Entropy".
{{quote| '''Tara:''' Okay, wait, it was under her wig?<br />
Line 78:
'''Philip:''' It's just the name of the process.<br />
'''Buffy:''' (giving up) Oh. Yeah. }}
* [[Shout -Out]]: To ''[[Soylent Green]]'', when Buffy runs through the restaurant screaming "It's people!"
* [[Stock Superhero Day Jobs]]: Averted
* [[Technicolor Science]]: Willow and [[Omnidisciplinary Scientist|her chemistry set]].
* [[Thousand -Yard Stare]]: All the workers except Gary.
* [[Too Much Information]]: Philip telling Buffy about his ears clogging up with grease.
* [[With Friends Like These...]]: Amy for Willow. Halfrek for Anya.
* [[Wall -Bang Her]] / [[Making Love in All The Wrong Places]]
* [[You Look Familiar]]: The actress who played Halfrek also played Cecily in "Fool for Love" -- this was later retconned as Cecily actually being a vengeance demon.
