Jared Brady is one of the salesmen at the MMD shop, who is often described jokingly and lovingly as the best-looking employee of the bunch.

Although he gets called out for his looks, people are shown to get flustered around him, and he expresses some insecurity about his appearance with his co-workers and customers. The Ashbels admitted to poaching him from a nearby taco shop to work for them.

Working as his right-hand woman at the shop, she expresses her lack of desire to trust anybody, opting to get things done herself rather than depend on anybody else. Additionally, she is passionate about working out and avoids drinking and smoking.

Dani Martin describes herself as the best seller in the company, marching to the beat of her own drum personally and professionally.

Openly saying he smokes pot "for a living," he wants to try every kind of marijuana he can in his next endeavor. However, he draws concern from his bosses as they tell him he can't be high on the job, which he doubts he can do.

Uriel Valenzuela has had a difficult journey with MMD, taking on jobs as a bartender, assistant manager, handyman, plumber, delivery driver, and more before his current post as a security guard.

Not a fan of the company going corporate, his immediate bosses feel he has not been fired yet due to their father considering him to be family. He is seen eating behind the counter and is accused of coming into work high, continually putting his employment in jeopardy through the show.
