It may not be one of the best comedies on television, but it's still around for a reason. 10 Items or Less is a partially improvised comedy about a rural Ohio grocery store called Greens and Grains that has managed to skate around for a few seasons, somewhat unnoticed, and still managed to avoid the ax.
John Lehr plays the goofy manager of a small grocery store trying to deal with the corporate mega-store known as Super Value Mart, kind of like a more blue-collar Michael Scott from The Office. Also included are Jennifer Elise Cox, who plays Leslie's former schoolmate who is now the manager of Green and Grain's number 1 competitor Super Value Mart, Kirsten Gronfield, who portrays a quirky yet soft-spoken customer service representative, Roberta Valderrama, who appears as the aggressive Yolanda Nelson and Greg Davis Jr., who plays an ambitious checkout bagger, just to name a few.
