10 Things You Didn't Know About Melissa Rauch

8. Her First Job Was In A Burger Restaurant

If you're wondering where her experience came from to play Cheesecake Factory waitress Bernadette, look no further than Rauch's very own CV. Her first waitress job was at Johnny Rockets in New Jersey, before moving on to wait tables at a sports bar, but did she act similarly to her loveable on-screen character?

She told The Huffington Post: "I was kind of like the Rhea Perlman of the bar. I was like Carla on "Cheers." People were more afraid of me. There was a point where I got a little surly. There were only so many chicken wings I could serve before losing the smile on my face."
