So the lady who JJ talked to at the Unemployment Office had a side job

[TVFactFan]

as a waitress at a bar

Surprised since she had a state job as a unemployment representative in episode of 5 of season 4 and serving drinks in episode 9 of season 4.

I was going to say she was fired or laid off but since she knew Willona it look like it was a side job
