Sitcom which generally confines itself to a place of employment. Seldom leaves that location. Often features a freakier assortment of characters in its core cast than can be found in the usual Dom Com, because they can come from anywhere; likewise, weird visitors and walk-throughs need not be justified as well as they might be if they had to show up in a living room. Depending on the type of work, when the action is moved elsewhere sometimes brings up the question of Who's Watching the Store?.
