Beefers - Character Descriptions

Herman Halibut - An assistant manager at Beefer's Restaurant (who isn't very good at managing). He has the ability to succeed but is directionless and lethargic. To this point in life, he has been told what to do and what to think; he makes a complete break from all the forces that have been doing this to him. Instead of freeing him, the lack of direction leaves him lost. "Beefers" is the beginning of the road in his journey to become a complete and whole person.

Freddie - A cook at Beefer's Restaurant. He's worked at Beefer's for five years so he knows the ropes. He's dishonest but likeable. He's the instigator who starts trouble and watches from the sidelines as his schemes cause havoc. By virtue of his seniority and ability, he's been given the job of running the kitchen and is somewhat of a supervisor. He should have become a manager or some other higher position long ago but chose to stay back. In essence, he's the king of the restaurant.

Mr. Bob - Manager and franchise owner of Beefer's. The success of his restaurant has less to do with his competence than with hthe fact that the franchise has a can't lose formula. In fact, he has become so far removed frmo how to run the place, he doesn't even count the money at the end of the night. He primary job is keeping people employed. Evertytime somebody is hire, the staff either drvies them crazy or drives them out. Consequently, Mr. Bob has perfected the technique of getting aqt least one more night out of somebody who is clearly ready to quit.

Mr. Simon - Daytime cook at Beefer's. This crusty old man has worked at the restaurant longer than anyone. He's seen them all come, and he's seen them all go. he befriends no one. He discourages any contact with himself other than official work duties. Any other contact is bound to be met with a sharp tongue or an ever sharper knife.

Zip - Dishwasher at Beefer's. A young high school student who works nights at the restaurant. He's the lowest man on the totem pole, so he takes the most crap. He's not very bright and tends to laugh and giggle all the time. Unwise in the ways of the workd, he sees nohting wrong at laughing in your face about your problems. Yet his unforgiving honesty and untainted soul makes him the wisest person working there. His snippets of truth are the most revealing.
