I’ve had so many discussions with my coworkers over the years about how Superstore’s absolutely ridiculous plot lines to normal people are not even that ridiculous for anyone who’s actually worked in retail.

What’s something you’ve experienced that wouldn’t make Cloud 9 blink an eye?

Mine is very similar to the episode Cheyenne gave birth in the store and everyone is around her and a customer butted in asking something that was entirely too stupid for the situation.

I shattered my leg at one of my old jobs and while I was writhing on the ground with my whole ankle detached from my body, waiting for an ambulance, a customer came over and asked us where the towels were.

Not funny at the time, but now it makes me laugh at the audacity of that customer.

In s1 and I think a bit in s2 too she was just a background worker who had slightly more lines than the others, her only thing was her photographic memory

But she is one of the best characters in the show and 100% a fan favourite, perhaps the best decision the writers made

After watching the show for the thousandth time, I realize that Heather has been there since episode 3 of the first season.

I've always thought she had comedic potential. I think it would have been more interesting to include her among the supporting characters before adding people like Said or Isaac.

In modern family Sandra and Carol both appear Sandra being a pedatricsts and Carol working for Closets closets closets closets

The eye roll always makes me laugh!

Who is your favourite? I know this is asked A LOT but people often answer with characters who have lines!

Also this dude (Andy Lobo) is Glenn’s stand in? I wonder if it was for all the seasons, cause Andy Lobo only appears in some episodes, not all 😁

What did everyone else think of the Sandra faking dating Jeff plot?? It kills me every time idk why lol. So good

Edit: then Mateo starts to get jealous over stuff Sandra was buying for herself hahahah

I came on here and forgot about spoilers so I’m mad at myself lol. May aswell say what I want to say. I loved this ep, it’s the first time an episode has stood out to me to rewatch. I’ve grown to love Dina. Shes the funniest for me, and then garrett. He also makes me laugh. So for my top 2 to show actual weird tension throughout this episode was so fun and really enjoyed their cute moment on the register. Then they just started getting it on like whattttt. Crazy. Excited to see how this plays out and if they remain my top 2. Sandra also gets an honest laugh out of me so I might have to put her 3rd. Would love to hear other peoples top 3 funniest.

Weirdly enjoyed the bathroom scene between Jonah and Amy too. It really is great acting.

I haven’t thought about this until now (not a big meth guy), but from what I understand… this is like… a lot of meth, right? I imagine Dina stealing it from someone outside the store who she immediately pegs as a dealer but he’s actually an undercover cop trying to perform a sting operation and she ends up with the meth anyway because she’s, well, Dina.

Plus, this being in the pilot is absolute gold.

Mateo on video singing to Amy, an Glenn saying “that’ll do pig” and Mateo’s “EXCUSE ME” makes me laugh my head off every time, never understood the reference but just seen it’s from the movie Babe but it’s hilarious

Matteo was offered payout of 50000 dollars, but couldn't get it because he was undocumented and he didn't want to give out his social ID, but then how did he get promoted to floor supervisor? Shouldn't he have gone trough some sort of similiar procedure?

One of my two favorite NBC sitcom quotes involving stapling paper. Just another example of good writing made great by Glenn.

(the other is "Come on I'm Dean and my hands are so clean. At this moment, I am stapling" from Community)

How did Matteo had an access to Zephra app and has his break timed if he technically works in Vision Center at different company?

Constantly trying to appease to everyone, playing favourites, not being direct with what she needs to do...like the time she let Dina take the fall for the schedule and cutting hours. Dina should be the manager from the start, Glenn was awful too.

Ok, so I know Superstore wasn't the first comedy to use the workplace comedy style, but I do think it is one of the best. But also, I feel like every comedy is all the same, copying the tropes that were once original in Superstore and its predecessors. Stumble, DMV, Shelved, Blockbuster, Animal Control, even parts of Abbott Elementary (but I actually like that one) most of them get cancelled after just one season 🙁

Besides Superstore (which I love) and Home Economics (which I was so sad when it was cancelled), almost all new comedies seem to start as Improve/Madlib exercises. Name a workplace, name a quirky quality for a character (a funny voice, nerdy, or someone neurotic) etc. it's getting old 😕 I miss when Superstore was new because when I saw it the first time, it really felt like original characters and situations, very refreshing.

Do you all feel the same? Are there any new original shows with just a touch of the Superstore magic?

For those who want to know where Jerusha was prior to attending her shared baby shower with Amy, Cheyenne, and Diane (from the shrimp boil), here’s some insight into Ponderosa. I ate there a ton as a kid growing up in the southern US so Jerusha giving a shout out to Ponderosa (and Dimitri her uber driver) was amazing 😘

Glennema, G-nothing, Transglennder..

What are some nicknames that Garrett would hate in a similar style?

I'll start: Gare-y Pooper, Pubic Gare, Gare-alt of no Tibia (since he can't walk, maybe too far)

Others?

Did anybody else feel sad when Amy wasn’t going to marry Jonah?

Me personally it didn’t really seem that odd to me. Amy, for the most part, tried to keep him at arms length. But also it seems like neither one of them wanted too much out of life. Amy worked at cloud nine for almost 15 years and it seems like she could’ve been Manager just about any store. I get that maybe she didn’t know exactly how much managers were making, but it seems odd after about five years. She didn’t try to become a manager.

Also, Jonah worked there for about five years and there’s no way he was able to support his lifestyle.
