Margaret: A writer!? Thats great! Where do you work?
Beatrice: I work at a restaurant.
Margaret: But… You said you write stories.

It's a story. Margaret has a problem with Beatrice's response because she doesn't understand that Beatrice simply does what she enjoys doing. Margaret is so consumed with her work that she doesn't know how to enjoy herself. That's my guess.

Sounds like it's establishing the difference between what you DO and where you WORK. Some people work to live, and some live to work.
