S4 E6 (Maternity Leave)

When Amy revealed Parker’s name to Cheyenne and Mateo, they started criticizing the name and tried to give Amy a chance to justify her choice of a perfectly normal name. The whole time I’m like.. Cheyenne, you named your child Harmonica. Be so for real. I think it would have been more on character for Mateo to be catty and remind Cheyenne that she named her child after an instrument. Maybe I’m missing something and it was part of the joke for Cheyenne to be against a normal sounding baby name, but when she and Mateo had that poster board full of names, the only “out there” name on it was Obama haha, the rest were perfectly normal names! If I am missing anything please clarify, but otherwise that side plot just confused me 😂

As the title says I hate her. I know she's made to be hated but every episode she is in I resent it and can't bare to watch the scenes she is in. Honestly I think the show would of been better without her

I love all the small things that happen to Sandra.

▪︎Her mailman made her make him a key to her house.

▪︎She sees her mailman lurking over her and Jerry's bed.

▪︎Her bus driver put her phone in his pocket and drove off.

▪︎She walks up to the bus, Sandra about walks in the bus, then he drives forward a little, and repeats that.

Poor punching bag Sandra 🤣

So I’m trying to come up with the most unhinged pairings based on in show evidence that they could even minutely get along (my bestie and I are doing a PowerPoint party).

So things could be like:

Jonah and Dinah because Jonah did habitat for humanity and Dinah is a vegan so they both have love for helping others and preserving life. Also Jonah is a little delicate doll that needs protecting and Dinah has guns.

Jeff and Bo because Jeff will throw money at things to show off to others before really even having the money and Bo did say for 20 grand you could put whatever in him. We do not know if that amount is the minimum cap.

So things like that. Things that make almost sense but are also just silly things they share in common

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

i think if superstore were still on air today i think there definitely would have been an episode about corporate using generative AI lololol

it's all i think about when i see their display designs

on my first watch, just finished season 1 episode 6 (secret shopper)… and i just can’t stand amy. the rest of the characters are just ok so far, i’ve been mostly entertained but amys character and attitude puts a damper on my watch, is it worth pushing through?

in s3 e12 when Amy gets told she can’t bag a 10/10 so she sleeps with Tate, does anyone else find it hilarious in the break room when Carol gets a 4, Justine a 3, Tate a 10 an when Justine says “what is Amy are we tied” and Amy said “GOD NO” an they go “you’re a little higher than Justine” “A LITTLE HIGHER???!!” hahahaha it’s so bad but so funny how fast and reflexive it was. poor Justine

I like the secret shopper episode

Then of course a favorite of a lot is the lady's lunch episode while the guys play muffin ball

Then probably the Halloween one where the carts chase Glenn around
