10 ITEMS OR LESS opens with Leslie Pool returning to his native Ohio to run the Greens & Grains grocery store he has just inherited from his father. He arrives to find a rather dysfunctional staff that includes Carl, the sweet, doofus stockboy who has fathered a baby with Yolanda, the straight-talking dominant force in the produce department; Ingrid, the quirky, soft-spoken customer service representative who has a thing for Todd, the sexy butcher who hopes to one day to be a stock car driver; and the check-out team of Buck, the bagger who is looking towards the future by attending night school, and Richard, the dignified cashier who dreams of becoming a professional ice dancer. Leslie also faces off against his arch nemesis, Amy, who manages the SuperValueMart down the street. Amy is determined to bring the Greens & Grains to its knees so that Value Mart can buy the property and turn it into a parking lot.
