Superstore	comment	Superstore is an American Work Com single-camera television sitcom starring America Ferrera (who also serves as a producer) and Ben Feldman. The series was created by Justin Spitzer, who also serves as an executive producer.It follows a group of employees working at a fictional big-box store and Fictional Counterpart of Walmart called "Cloud 9" set in St. Louis, Missouri, and all the various antics they get up to while evading bizarre customers and demanding upper management. Ferrera plays Amy Dubanowski, the store's weary floor manager, who has to wrangle the various sales associates (a core group comprised of awkward business school dropout Jonah (Feldman), snippy Mateo (Nico Santos), ditzy high schooler Cheyenne (Nichole Sakura), and playful and sarcastic Garrett (Colton Dunn), as well as many others), the store's wimpy and religious manager Glenn (Mark McKinney), and the stern and no-nonsense assistant manager Dina (Lauren Ash). The series portrays many aspects of working-class life both for comedy and drama (although mainly the former).The series debuted on November 30, 2015 on NBC. In December 2020, NBC announced that the show's sixth season would be its last; the series finale airing on March 25th, 2021. Following news of the show's cancellation, a spinoff starring Cheyenne and her husband Bo (Bo & Cheyenne) was also reported to be in development.

Ohno finds himself boxed in by an old lady with a shopping cart, Lipinsky slips and does a pirouette across a wet floor, and Maroney tries on a jacket and does her trademark unimpressed face. In "Election Day", one of the scene transitions has a child driving a Power Wheels car through the store, only to be rammed out of the way by Jimmie Johnson in a motorized toy truck.

Superstore / int_222dc873	comment	Black Comedy: All of "Spokesman Scandal". It starts with the discovery that the store's mascot is a serial killer and cannibal, and the rest of the episode has Jonah and Amy making jokes about the whole thing. It even gets a Call-Back a few episodes later in "Halloween Theft", with a customer in the background dressed as the mascot and covered in blood. In "Seasonal Help" when Glenn is deciding which mall Santa to hire, he looks at the bunch and declares that they have made it past "the Megan's Law search". Then Glenn's phone buzzes, he glances at it, and promptly dismisses one of the Santas. Starting in Season 3, there's a Running Gag about severed human feet turning up in random places in the store (the first one showed up just after the tornado and was initially assumed to be Brett's, though this was later disproven when he showed up alive, well and still two-footed). The season finale revealed that Elias is responsible, though whether he's a Serial Killer or has a weird penchant for stealing them from a morgue or something isn't revealed.

Since nobody ever bothered to take it down, the people from ICE see it and pretty much have it confirmed that he does work at the store.

However, she is demoted back to floor supervisor at the beginning of season 2 and her college classes are not mentioned at all afterward. Presumably, this was because the writers found new plots they'd rather do for the character, as attending night classes would doubt be extremely difficult after Amy has another child and becomes manager of the store in season 4. In-universe, she mentions at the beginning of season 6 that she does not have a college degree, suggesting she dropped-out at some point.

Superstore / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: At the end of season 4, the employees band together to help sneak Mateo out of the store and escape ICE's detection. Unfortunately, there's only so much that a couple of minimum wage, big-box store employees can do against a government police force. When he realizes that he's cornered, Mateo gives himself up. The series goes out of its way to show how unrealistic the notion of people working their way up the corporate ladder from a starting position actually is. Corporate is filled with people who never worked on the retail side of things, and the highest position someone like Glenn reaches is store manager, and even then he is mistreated and pushed around by his higher ups. Amy's arc ascending up the corporate ladder only occurs by the fact that she blackmailed an executive to give her the store manager position, who was otherwise going to give it to her incompetent son. Even then it took a buyout from another corporation entirely for Amy to even begin to get noticed and move up the ladder. The sixth and final season shows the Store's efforts to operate throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic and the finale sees that the branch ultimately gets shut down and converted into a fulfillment center because their operation got hit too hard.

Superstore / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: The mass walkout that ends season 1 and begins season 2 is doomed to fail, for numerous reasons. The penultimate episode of the series sees the cast and a returning Amy trying to scramble to pass a store evaluation, to prevent their branch of Cloud 9 from getting shut down due to the Covid-19 pandemic leading to retailers downsizing. Despite their best efforts, it gets revealed that it didn't matter what they did, because Corporate had already made up their mind and was simply determining whether their location should be converted into a fulfillment center, which they do.

Poor Myrtle is hanging on by a thread as the storm rages through the building. Mateo is calling Jeff crying his eyes out and telling him he loves him. Garrett is giving a borderline Love Confession to Dina. And... there's still a TV on in electronics playing the shopping channel. Plus, Cheyenne is a nervous-laugher, so as the store is getting destroyed, she's writhing on the floor going full Laughing Mad.

Problem is, resident idiot Marcus, the least likely candidate you'd expect, turns out to have Hidden Depths and more interpersonal skills than previously thought, and winds up the best candidate for the job by a mile, consistently making Mateo look foolish in the process. In the end, Marcus winds up forcing Amy's hand, and she has to buy his silence to get her desired outcome.

Poor Myrtle is hanging on by a thread as the storm rages through the building. Mateo is calling Jeff crying his eyes out and telling him he loves him.

Plus, Cheyenne is a nervous-laugher, so as the store is getting destroyed, she's writhing on the floor going full Laughing Mad. There's one particularly sad scene mid-season 4 when Dina's birds escape their cages and fly away, never to return. Those birds may be the only living creatures Dina truly loves, and she's horrified seeing them go. Sandra tries to intervene, although her effort is limited to just pathetically stretching her arms out, which does nothing as the birds fly several feet over her head. What did you think was gonna happen, Sandra? The breakup of Amy and Jonah in season 6 takes place in the back room of the store, and ends with Jonah walking out incredibly hurt at Amy's lack of commitment, followed suddenly by Shipper on Deck Sandra emerging out of nowhere, chewing out Amy, and throwing a fit.

Superstore / int_a6e8221e	comment	Status Quo Is God: Amy laments that nothing ever seems to change at Cloud 9, as shown in the page quote. This trope seems to be in effect early on - the 1st season has a lot of advancement for the main characters, with Dina stepping down from assistant manager to pursue Jonah, with Amy replacing her; Cheyenne giving birth; Glenn getting fired by corporate in the season finale when he 'suspends' Cheyenne with pay to get around the store's lack of paid maternity leave, and all of the employees (except Dina, who names herself the new manager) staging a walkout in protest. At the beginning of season 2, corporate resolves the walkout by re-hiring Glenn, with Cheyenne immediately coming back to work and Dina reassuming her role as assistant manager (with Amy returning to floor supervisor) in exchange, mostly restoring the status quo, seemingly proving Amy right. Jonah tries to cheer her up by saying that the crew took a huge leap just by staging a walkout, despite the action having minimal effect. However, this trope is averted afterward, as the show does see some big changes to the status quo afterward - a tornado destroying the store at the end of season 2, causing the exterior to be permanently redesigned; Amy and Dina both getting pregnant in season 3 and giving birth in season 4, with the latter serving as a surrogate to Glenn and his wife; as well as Amy and Jonah becoming a couple, and Glenn stepping down as manager with Amy replacing him, both permanently, until Amy leaves the store at beginning of season 6.

"Cheyenne's Wedding" features the wedding of Cheyenne and Bo, who got engaged in the pilot. Unlike the rest of the other episodes, this doesn't take place in the titular superstore. "Sandra's Wedding" marries Sandra to her longtime love interest Jerry. A lot of humor is derived from the ridiculousness of the setting (a nautical theme at a Western restaurant) and the fact that Sandra's Sitcom Archnemesis Carol is secretly attempting to undermine it.

In "High Volume Store", when the employees try to avoid reaching the level of sales necessary to have their store's rating upgraded from "Triple-A" to "Quad-A" (after hearing about how stressful Quad-A stores from a different Cloud 9 store), Amy gives an inspiring speech about how if the team tries hard, they can definitely fail the sales goal.

While the show ultimately leans in favor of fighting for unionization, Amy's fear of corporate retaliation is proven correct as corporate teams up with ICE and gets Mateo detained as an intimidation tactic.

"California, Part 1" and "Part 2" were originally written as the two-part season finale featuring Amy moving to California and breaking up with Jonah, but the pandemic halted production of the show, with Part 1 airing as the season finale in May 2020, ending with Jonah announcing that he wants to go to California with Amy, much to her consternation.

Superstore / int_edd102ba	comment	Soul-Sucking Retail Job: Downplayed, it's made clear that working at Cloud 9 is tiring, not rewarding, doesn't pay much, and altogether isn't the best job, but the employees don't seem to actively hate it so much nor have they lost their personalities. The fact that they have the good fortune of working under a boss like Glenn undoubtedly helps.

The entire staff spends the rest of the morning meeting being distracted by her ample bosom, and Garrett goes through the episode becoming increasingly confused by his newfound attraction to "that same crazy fascist who physically removed gum from my mouth". Amy comes right out and says it on behalf of a tongue-tied Garrett and Jonah, saying "I cannot stop looking at her enormous breasts."

The fact that they're in their late fifties during the show doesn't help. Eventually they use a surrogate mother to carry for them. Amy's life was once completely turned around by an unexpected pregnancy, so a second one is unlikely, right? Wrong. She becomes pregnant while in the running from a major promotion, at the very start of a new relationship. Worse: the father is her ex-husband.

Glenn has reopened Sturgis & Sons Hardware, and has brought on Cheyenne and Mateo as his employees. Dina is now the fulfillment center manager, with a much more relaxed attitude and a stronger bond with her employees who include Marcus, Joanne and Sandra who is now her assistant manager. After years of having to deal with low paying minimum wage jobs, Amy has found herself a new corporate job and is married to Jonah, and together they have a child- Carter. Jonah himself has finally found his calling, running for city council to enact real positive change. Dina and Garrett become a committed, loving couple. Mateo and Eric are getting married. And in the final moments, it's revealed that the staff has stayed in touch with one another, remaining friends long after the store closing, as they all enjoy a barbecue in Glenn's backyard, together by choice, not by paycheck.

Superstore / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: Amy is wearing a different name tag every episode (she doesn't want customers to know her real name). After she got promoted to assistant manager she switches to a name tag with her actual name on it, presumably because she has to. After Glenn steps down as Store Manager Amy gets promoted and starts wearing name tags with fake names again. Every so often a severed foot is found in the store, which the staff often treat as a mundane occurrence. A member of the team will do something inappropriate, followed by a Gilligan Cut to the entire staff watching a training video in the break room. Marcus discussing breast milk and/or trying to make cheese out of breast milk in Season 3. Raccoons are a constant problem. Many episodes feature raccoons randomly causing problems in various parts of the store. During the episode "Blizzard" the team is forced to stay at the store overnight where a raccoon and Justine stare at one another for a long time. Glenn's car is constantly damaged by something horrible happening in the episode's plot. Marcus consistently trying and failing to start a chant. Sandra searching for something and finding a dead mouse in a trap instead, only to slide it back under the shelve and pretending it didn't happen. After Amy becomes a manager, her Zoom calls keep getting frozen causing the person on the other end to not hear or see her. Jeff using the puppy filter during Zoom calls. Dina having a stache of meth on her.

While the other characters lampshade that it makes the environment like that of a lively modern office, Jonah muses that it may be the company's way of making them feel cared for while still denying them a living wage. Also, Sandra starts demanding self-driving cars.

Superstore / int_fdc1e848	comment	Will They or Won't They?: Amy with Jonah. As of the second season mid-season finale, Amy is, at the very least, questioning her marriage, and expresses jealousy at seeing Jonah with a potential love interest. In the second season finale, she and Jonah kiss as a tornado rips through Cloud 9. During Season 3 they slip back into this even as Jonah is in a relationship with Kelly. In Episode 13 Amy admits that she has a crush on Jonah. In the final episode after having broken up with Kelly, Jonah and Amy have sex. In the 4th Season premiere, it's revealed at the end of the episode that they began dating between seasons, during their suspension, but are hiding it from their incredibly nosy coworkers. At the beginning of the sixth season, they settle on "won't they", eventually breaking up prior to Amy's move to California. ...that is, until the two-part finale, when Amy finds herself back in St. Louis, and they finally become an item again, this time for good.

After the Big Storm Episode that is the season finale, the staff emerge from the wreckage to find the remains of what once was Cloud 9... and somehow, Cheyenne finds her scrunchie right there in the middle of the floor.
