What totally pulls me out of the universe when watching the Ferengi episodes is that the "Grand Nagus", who is a hugely important person, vastly wealthy and ruler of a nation(?)... has no staff and it's up to some random bartender to get him out of trouble. I know there's protagonist syndrome, but this is stretching it too far.

The Ferengi operated on an uber-capitalist society, so he pays for his own staff out of his own pockets. In one episode, the Grand Nagus mentions firing his staff because they were too expensive and he wanted to use the money to buy something.
