Like many other actors, Melissa Rauch didn't find immediate success when she entered the industry. As she explained to USA Today, she was actually a struggling actor for a few years. Like her "Big Bang Theory" character Bernadette, she had to work in hospitality to make ends meet. "I worked at a sports bar in New York City during college," she recalled. Apparently, people would come to the bar with notebooks to make predictions. "It was before fantasy football was online," she explained. Of course, waitressing wasn't always easy. Once, she even spilled beer "all over someone's fantasy notebook." Yikes.
In another interview for Vulture, Rauch recalled a waitressing job from her past. Apparently, the job eventually became too difficult to sustain. In fact, regular customers would come in and tease her about her height — as Rauch put it, she "started to crack," she said. After her years of working in hospitality, Rauch came to realize, "It does push you to the edge when you're not given an opportunity to do what you want to do." It's really no wonder Rauch got sick of waitressing. Getting her first acting job must have been a huge relief.
