Almost every Western, film or television series, contains one or more scenes in the local beverage emporium (that is, saloon). Routinely, every seat is taken by imbibing gamblers. Card playing appears to be the primary occupation of the male population of every town.
Does anyone work? Are there not businesses to be maintained? Do farms cultivate themselves? Does the political structure of the town not require citizens to operate the machinery of government?
This episode of Wells Fargo has one such scene early in the program. Card playing for profit.
