In which TV workplace would you like to be employed?
Almost four years have passed since Monica, Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Joey and Phoebe bid farewell to their coveted Thursday night time slot. Nevertheless, a survey by SnagAJob.com shows that despite a prime-time lineup without “Friends,” most of us (a whopping 34 percent) would still vie for a barista position at the fictitious Central Perk.
Nearly 7,000 people participated in the survey to determine the TV workplace where people would most like to work. Almost a quarter of the survey participants said they would prefer to don scrubs and work in the emergency room with McDreamy and the rest of the “Grey’s Anatomy” cast.
Dunder Mifflin’s warehouse featured on the widely popular show “The Office” only won over 14 percent of survey participants. Perhaps word has gotten out about the company’s less-than-stellar management team.
Complete survey results:
The coffeehouse in “Friends” 33.3%
The ER in “Grey’s Anatomy” 24.9%
The sheriff’s office in “Reno 911!” 20.2%
The warehouse in “The Office” 14.3%
The diner in “Seinfeld” 7.3%
