Back pain is real but drafting wasn't that bad.

That $50 weekly cash handling fee is brutal, I lost track of how much that added up to over a year. I tried doing cash deposits through a shared ATM network with a fintech once, but the machine ate my deposit of $1,200 in twenties and it took two weeks to get credited back, plus they charged me a $25 investigation fee. For a small business that deals in cash, having a physical bank with a real person who can count your deposit right there is worth the slightly higher account fees in my experience. I still use a fintech for my online invoicing and payments because the interface is way faster, but the actual cash goes straight to First Midwest every Saturday afternoon.

Eva totally nailed it with the Office comparison lol. Actually though, The Bear's pilot is way more intense than The Office's first season. That first episode of The Bear gave me so much anxiety I almost turned it off. The kitchen yelling and chaos felt too real. But @eva_ward88 is right, once you get past that setup it becomes something special. I think it's because the show is trying to show you how broken everything is before they start fixing it. Like you need to feel the mess before you can appreciate the calm moments. Its a different kind of stressful than The Office but both reward you for sticking with the early rough patches.
