Looks like AOC worked here. I’m not sure which one.

Her comments about how,this shaped her views:
“My campaign started in food, and in a lot of ways evolved out of food,” she told Bon Appetit during an interview in the restaurant. “For 80 percent of this campaign, I operated out of a paper grocery bag hidden behind that bar.” Between shifts, she’d change her clothes and go out canvassing.
“For me it was especially potent that I was working in the food service industry while running for office because I wasn’t, like, reminiscing on some summer job I had when I was a teenager. This was the life I was living.”
Ocasio-Cortez told Bon Appetit that food is political. “The food industry is the nexus of almost all of the major forces in our politics today,” she said. “It’s super closely linked with climate change and ethics. It’s the nexus of minimum wage fights, of immigration law, of criminal justice reform, of health care debates, of education. You’d be hard-pressed to find a political issue that doesn’t have food implications.”
And because she personally worked in restaurants — up until February, in fact — she said she knows that better than many of her now-colleagues. “Many members of Congress were born into wealth, or they grew up around it,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “How can you legislate a better life for working people if you’ve never been a working person?... I have that perspective."
