10 Items or Less

In 10 Items Or Less, John Lehr stars as Leslie Pool, a nerdy thirtysomething who returns home to Ohio to take over his father's grocery store. Though he's been a loser in the business world so far, Pool is confident that he can run the store, even with the stiff competition from the giant Super Value Mart across the street. Pool's optimism is shared by his loyal employees, a motley cast of characters that includes dull-witted grocery clerk Carl (Robert Clendenin), who has a special fondness for the company picnic, and inarticulate-but-studly butcher Todd (Chris Payne Gilbert), who wants to be \"friends with benefits\" with soft-spoken, Renaissance faire-loving customer service rep Ingrid (Kirsten Gronfield). Jennifer Elise Cox is particularly funny as Amy, the Super Value Mart manager who's determined to take Pool down.
