topanga April 21, 2017 Share April 21, 2017 Quote Amy and Garrett launch an investigation after sifting through abandoned photos during the store's spring cleaning; Jonah works to gain Glenn's approval; Cheyenne's fiance starts working at Cloud 9. The two main plots were just okay: The Jonah-Glenn storyline only gave me a few laughs. And I liked Amy and Garrett working together--but their story wasn't very funny, either. Bo was hilarious, though. That was the one plot I thoroughly enjoyed. And I loved that Cheyenne was the mature one and is the voice of reason in their relationship. 1 Link to comment

MaryMitch April 21, 2017 Share April 21, 2017 I wish Cheyenne would dump Bo; he's so awful, and she's dim/naive but sweet. Colton Dunn (Garrett) was hilarious this episode. He looked like he was enjoying himself thoroughly! 9 Link to comment
tennisgurl April 21, 2017 Share April 21, 2017 Bo is hilarious, but I hope Cheyenne dumps him at some point. Yeah he the father of her child, but he's such a loser and kind of an asshole, and I think she can do a lot better. I do enjoy seeing her being the smart one of a duo. Kind of like when she gets paired with Glenn, and she has to become the voice of reason. I liked Amy and Garrett having a plot together, even if it wasn't super hilarious. "If I catch a foul ball, I'm not giving it to a kid." "I can respect that". Link to comment
iMonrey April 21, 2017 Share April 21, 2017 Bo, planning to rob the store. Cheyenne: "We could probably both lose our jobs over this!" Ya think? This one actually made me feel a little sorry for Glenn. He's just so pathetic and needy. The baseball raffle was just embarrassing. I can't believe Dina didn't see right through Bo. Shows how susceptible she is to flattery. Link to comment

I know far too many young girls who have a lot going on for themselves who go after these idiots. It's like they don't realize their actual worth until they become adults (if then). 3 Link to comment
MaryHedwig April 22, 2017 Share April 22, 2017 (edited) I loved the "breakfast at 4:00am in the gas station" routine. Loved watching Jonah's face as the entire break room set out to trap him. "Wait a minute, it's 6:30 now and you had breakfast before this?" Also, loved Sandra's "can't be free this weekend because she will be cremating her dog." She and Cheyenne need to attend Self-Esteem Anonymous. Come to think of it, Matt and Glenn could benefit from that too. Note to Jonah: never sleep with your boss' daughter. Didn't your stint in business school teach you anything? Edited April 22, 2017 by MaryHedwig 3 Link to comment
juliet73 April 22, 2017 Share April 22, 2017 I think Bo is hilarious!! However, I hope he's not going to be on every week. I didn't notice any odd "regular" customer scenes this week. :( Mateo asking if the stuff on the wall was blood or chocolate and then licking it and confirming it was blood. Ugh!! So gross, but so funny!! The Glenn/Jonah and Garrett/Amy plots were very weak. I wonder who is going to be laid off... Link to comment

Hopefully, unless they work it to avoid layoffs, it will either be some peripheral employees, like Myrtle of Sandra(much as I love her), and not one of the main cast of Amy, Jonah, Glenn(even though he would probably be safe as head manager), Garrett, Cheyenne, Mateo or Dina. I feel like the show is really clicking right now and if they lose one of the main recurring cast they risk messing that up. Luckily I see Glenn being very Michael Scott-ish about it and fighting it because he can't bear to loose anyone. Glenn really reminds me of Michael in that he is a people pleaser, is sensitive and thinks of his coworkers as family. I don't see him just laying people off without a fight...

Colton Dunn is just about the only reason I watch this show. He was amazing this episode. Especially his expression when Bo's like "they're banging." The pseudo-incredulous bit was amazing! 4 Link to comment
Keener April 22, 2017 Share April 22, 2017 (edited) I chuckled aloud at the "let's go for lunch"/"It's 10:30" line. This is soooo the life of retail. You end up having "lunch" at the weirdest hours. If it's not 10:30am (because you started at 6:30 and your lunch is automatically scheduled 4 hours after you start), it's at 3pm. You can't win. I remember having to argue with cashiers about why they *had* to take their lunches at 10:30am-- if I push them back to 11 then the people who started at 7am are scheduled and there's too many people off (compromise: 10:45!) Oh retail. Bo is a treasure. He reminds me of that sound effects guy from Police Academy with the noises he makes. Hilarious. Edited April 22, 2017 by Keener 2 Link to comment

I loved Glenn's comments at the Mexican restaurant. "Can you make a Mexican version of a churro?" "Do you take American dollars here?" and the look on Jonah's face. Jonah's character is bang on to me. When I worked retail, there was always those on their way to med school (Jonahs) slinging hash right next to those on their way to incarceration (Bos). Retail work in your 20's is the great equalizer. 3 Link to comment
rhys April 23, 2017 Share April 23, 2017 The Mexican restaurant scene might have been my favorite. I was so hoping that Glenn would order something with a double L ( tortilla) but pronounce the double L's as in English words (think yellow). Missed opportunity, writers. 2 Link to comment

Ugh!! So gross, but so funny!! Here's the thing though, in retail the chances of blood or chocolate were rare, but actual shit was always the reality. Store clean ups always sucked. The last chain I worked for would do their inventories in January on a rolling schedule and turn trucks off to the stores for a few days after. All you really had to do was clean up. But the check list was ridiculous and after the fist page or so, you'd start pulling a Sandra and just pushing things under the shelves. Not dead mice, but random chunks of dirt. Jonah trying to make small talk with Glenn was my favorite part. So tortured, so true to life. 2 Link to comment
ClareWalks April 23, 2017 Share April 23, 2017 I appreciated Jonah knowing immediately that the beef quesadilla was the "Mexican version of a cheeseburger." Well played! 7 Link to comment

Oh retail. Oh my gosh, yes. In the early days at my Walmart (I was an original associate who helped open the store), the head truck unloader got in the habit of making a page when it was time for his crew to go to lunch. These guys worked 4 pm to 1 am, so their 'lunch' was around 8 pm. One night I was on register when the announcement got made and my customers got so irrationally upset. Looking at their watches, saying to me, "Um, it is EIGHT O'CLOCK! That is NOT lunch time!" Well, no, but it's just what we call the hour meal break. Relax, ya'll. Link to comment
Fostersmom April 24, 2017 Share April 24, 2017 Yep, it wasn't uncommon to have stores run stocking crews from 5am to 1:30. Lunch might be 9, just when the store was opening. Customers would be pissed when they saw the whole stocking crew walk out as the doors were unlocked for them to shop. Link to comment
ClareWalks April 24, 2017 Share April 24, 2017 I thought the "but it's 10:30" was kind of silly. If I'd gotten to work at 6 AM, I'd be hungry for lunch by then, anyway. Hell, sometimes I start fantasizing about lunch at 10. ;) 2 Link to comment

True be told, I dated a few Bos in high school. Thank God I didn't get pregnant with them. On one level, this show is all about how people get stuck. Cheyenne is stuck with Bo and the Superstore because of Harmonica. Link to comment

BTBAM310 April 26, 2017 Share April 26, 2017 I really like the Bo character, and was wondering every week when they would bring him back. This episode made me realize he's better in small doses. 90% of his jokes fell flat. 2 Link to comment
