Yes, definitely. I think that was echoed on the show, too. Although Steven got a bit better on the work end of things in the season finale (part one and two) - I think he needed to see how much people hated him. But I think you're right that he'd be a lot more fun to hang out with. And Santino, definitely. He's a cool guy, I just wouldn't be able to deal with the bitching in the workplace.

On a side note: any votes for Harold's restaurant to be a new reality show? I mean, at least one other member of the cast's going to work there. (A "very special person", ahaha. I'm betting Dave, but as Dave/Harold/Stephen is my new OT3, I want Stephen as sommelier.)
