Superstore (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 17 - Zephra Cares - full transcript
Amy organizes a community service event, but it's jeopardized by Jeff's return and Glenn's desire to help his co-workers; Sandra confronts Jonah about his strategy for soliciting donations; Garrett tries to prove his intelligence to Dina.
Because when we reach out to others,
we reach in to our hearts.
Today, let's show the world
how much Zephra cares.
I'm not doing any of that stuff.
We have to build houses?
I'm not comfortable
around tools or kids.
- Pass.
- Okay, guys, relax.
You don't have to
do any of the things
you just saw in the video.
All you have to do today
is hand out these nifty care packages
to the Holloway
House Women's Shelter
and ask our customers to round up
to the nearest
dollar for charity.
- Easy.
- Wow.
Cloud 9 never did any of this stuff,
but I feel like Zephra cares.
Well, let's not just blindly
believe the T-shirts.
Although Zephra is a fine company
which I am not criticizing today
as was made clear
to me in the car.
But guys, Amy set
his whole thing up.
- Please.
- I mean, she chose the charity,
she got local businesses
to donate goods.
So this stuff is donated?
Zephra didn't even pay for it?
It's a PR stunt.
Okay, I'm confused.
Is Zephra good or bad?
Glenn, come on.
It's not that easy.
They did give us
that Lyft discount though.
Today I got to ride in a Kia Soul.
Guys, believe the hype.
Well, I read Zephra
does blood diamonds.
What do you mean by "does?"
Uh, I don't know.
I didn't click on it.
I did hear that Zephra
gives a lot of money
to struggling communities.
We all heard that, Justine.
They said it, like,
12 times in the video.
"Those communities
might not be struggling
if Zephra paid taxes."
It's a text from Jonah.
Butt text.
Buses from the shelter
will be arriving all day,
so Glenn, you're gonna be
running care packages
from the warehouse,
or doing that waddle thing
you do, whatever works.
Female hips, so...
Garrett, you're only
giving packages
to people with wristbands.
Wait, so we're just gonna
turn people away
'cause they don't have a wristband?
So for all intensive purposes,
people in need without
a wristband are dead to us.
"Intensive purposes?"
Did you mean "intents and purposes?"
I mean, you could
say it both ways.
You can, but one way
makes you sound like an idiot.
You're lucky you're pretty.
All right, you know what?
I know what it...
you're lucky I'm pretty!
You went way above and beyond.
Most stores are just writing
"fight breast cancer" on a jar
and sticking it at checkout.
Yeah, I mean, breast cancer
is so first thought.
For a good reason.
You know, one in eight. Affects us all.
Anyway, I want Zephra
to know you're kicking ass,
so I got them to send someone
to do a profile of you for the website.
A profile? Of me?
Um, okay. Wow.
Well, I've never been profiled before.
I mean, except racially.
This could be really good
for you, so sell yourself.
We'll talk after, okay? Bye.
Bye.
This is great!
I mean, we hate it.
Why do we hate it?
No, no, it's... it's fine, it's fine.
It's just... I don't know,
I don't know how to brag about myself,
it feels gross, and now
I'm supposed to take a charity
and make it all about me.
Hey, you took their empty slogan
and did something
actually great with it.
You deserve to brag a little bit.
I think you should be
on all the websites.
I mean, except for the incel ones.
And most of Reddit.
4chan, 8chan...
I hope you're never on a website.
Oh, hey, Glenn.
Just a heads up, you might be
getting a call from my landlady.
Oh, fun!
Oh, wait, is everything okay?
Oh, yeah.
It's just 'cause you
cosigned the lease,
and Bo and I were late
on the rent last month.
And this month.
She's crazy.
She's got, like,
a total boner for rent.
Cheyenne, if you're
having money problems,
I'm more than happy to help.
Oh, thanks, but no, we'll figure it out.
It's just, you know,
groceries and kid expenses
and then you get caught up
in a pyramid scheme
and then your husband
breaks his tailbone
- at backyard wrestling.
- Oh.
Anyway, I'm gonna go see if
Robot Glenn sucked up any change.
Big breakfast.
All right, it checks out.
You'd be surprised
how many people pose
as corporate reps
at charity events
just to try to get free stuff.
- Really?
- How do they pull that off?
- I'm not gonna tell you that.
- Oh.
Sorry.
She's been a little extra
since she saw
- "Richard Jewell."
- Ah.
Anyway, thank you for
coming and talking to me.
Hey, always happy to show off
one of the leaders
in our new Cloud 9 family.
This is a really cool event
you've put together.
Well thank you,
but I couldn't have done this
without my team.
I mean, most of the credit goes to them.
And I also share some of that credit.
Hey, hey!
- Jeff?
- What are you doing here?
Thought I'd surprise you,
check in on the event
from the Cloud 9 side of things.
Oh, wow.
You survived the acquisition?
Not that I thought
that they were gonna fire you.
I mean, obviously
they value your...
Jeff, this is Isabel.
She works at Zephra.
Oh, oh, the parent company!
Oh, maybe I should
call you Mommy.
I'm gay, so that's not weird.
Oh good, 'cause for a second
I almost thought it was.
No, I'm from Digital Content.
We're doing a profile
on Amy for the website.
Oh, very cool, very cool.
Listen, I'm gonna run inside
and say hi to Mateo.
We've been playing phone tag
and he's been it
for, like, the whole time. Um...
Everything looks shipshape. Okay.
Great. Glad you approve.
I was 100% sure he'd been fired.
- He didn't get fired?
- I know, it's insane.
Ooh, I didn't know
we carried aged balsamic.
- Nice.
- Oh, yeah, it's great.
I make a reduction
and I drizzle it over vanilla ice cream.
Ah, that sounds amazing!
Are you, like, a culinary student, or...
Oh.
Haven't been a
student of anything
for a couple decades.
Ah, you could've fooled me.
Your total is $36.48.
Would you like to round up
to $37 today
for Holloway House
Women's Shelter?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Thank you so much.
It's for a great cause.
All right. Thank you.
You have five minutes
to tell Amy, or I will.
Tell Amy what?
How you were flirting with that lady.
Turning each other's cranks.
I thought you two were gonna
do it right here on the belt.
Oh, come on, Sandra.
I was just being friendly.
Customers appreciate a little,
you know, human connection.
Ugh. Close your legs, Jonah.
My legs are fine,
and if anything,
we should be a little
friendlier than usual today
to get people to round up for charity.
Not if it means betraying
the woman you love.
Trust me, I'm married now.
Don't you dream about someday
having what Jerry and I have?
Of course... well,
exactly what you and Jerry...
it's fine, Sandra.
Hi.
How's it going?
Hope you didn't have any trouble
finding those toe warmers.
He's gonna die alone.
Look, Mateo, when I put
my career on the line for you,
it was because it was
the right thing to do.
You don't owe me anything.
Although brunch
wouldn't kill you.
Look, Jeff, it's not gonna happen.
I'm actually seeing someone.
Oh. Oh, yeah?
Mateo, that's amazing!
Thank you. That's very nice of you.
I'm very happy for you.
How'd you guys meet, or I mean,
have you met yet
or is it maybe, like,
an online thing?
Actually, Amy introduced us.
He's her brother.
Oh, Amy did?
That's so nice of her.
Hey, folks.
- How's that digital coming?
- Good, yeah.
We're getting some good digital.
Actually, Amy's just
showing me around a little
before the buses come
so I can get a sense
of what she's like as a manager.
Ooh. Feels like I should
get in on that action.
Does it?
Yeah, actually,
it would be really helpful
to get some quotes
from corporate.
Yeah, sure.
That... that would be great.
Nice. We'll make it a three-way.
Again, totally gay.
And this is the break room.
Um... oh, I...
I noticed that there was
always a really long line
at the toaster,
so I bought another one.
Which, you know,
I think people appreciated.
I think you got your headline
there, "Manager buys toaster."
That's helpful, Jeff. Thank you.
Oh, and also, I know how hard it is
to eat healthy during long shifts,
so I keep this cabinet full
of healthy snacks for everyone.
Oof, that cabinet is pretty full.
Seems like people would rather
die than eat that stuff.
Well, I just replenished it.
Yeah, and thank you for the
healthy seaweed snack, SpongeBob.
Just messing with you,
SpongeBob.
Sorry, I'm... I'm SpongeBob? Is...
All right, there's a scarf in here.
Now be careful.
That's a loose knit,
so avoid all hooks
and low-hanging branches.
It'll pop your head clean off.
Huh. That's weird.
It looks like we're
one package short.
One package?
Wow, that's news to me.
Short, you said. Huh.
You must've counted wrong.
No, I counted right.
I double-checked and everything.
It's fine. I'll just
count 'em again myself.
Okay, so now you're saying
I don't know how to count?
Well, no offense, Garrett,
but you did say "intensive purposes,"
which, apparently, is kind of dumb.
I'm not dumb!
I'm one of the smartest
people in the store.
Well, that's a bit of a stretch.
It's true. It's kind of my thing.
People are always like,
"Garrett, he's clever and funny."
Okay, then be clever and funny.
Well... no, not...
it's not appropriate right now
when we're missing a package.
I'll set you up for it, okay?
A Polish guy and a
blonde walk into a bar.
- What?
- Come on, man.
I put you on the one yard line.
Your total is $3.89.
Would you like to
round up for charity?
Not today, thanks.
Hey, Sandra, aren't these
your favorite kind of chips?
Yes. I love these chips.
Oh. Cool.
Uh-huh.
You're a lucky man.
And these are some lucky chips
'cause they get to take a ride
in that hot little mouth of yours.
Nope.
Oh, my God. I have to call Jerry.
Jerry?
Jonah made me seduce a man.
Would you say you have
a unique management style?
Yeah. Yeah, I would say that.
Could you actually say it
just so I can quote you?
Everything's pulling
teeth with this one.
It's like, what are
you, a dentist?
- I mean, come on...
- Jeff!
Enough.
Listen, I am a working mother,
and I came up from the floor,
but it was worth it
because as a manager, I know
what my people need from me,
so it might seem silly,
but small things like healthy snacks
actually make a difference.
Yikes, Amy. Brag much?
Hey, Jeff, why don't you
give us a minute?
Maybe go grab a coffee
or literally anything?
I'm not clear whether
I report to you or not,
so I am gonna grab that coffee.
Wait, what's this doing in here?
Oh. Wow.
Oh, there's a note.
Looks like there's a note.
Why don't you look at the note?
Wonder what that note says.
Why don't you read the note?
"Cheyenne, thought you could use this.
From your guardian angel."
Aww.
Whoa, there's a lot of stuff in here.
Gift certificates, grocery coupons,
and an e-reader?
Nice, I could sell this
to some nerd and make bank.
Wow, you're so lucky.
Yes. Lucky ducky, quack quack.
What, don't you think it's nice
that someone helped out Cheyenne?
Oh, yeah, but where's my guardian angel?
I've got two kids and
an underwater mortgage.
And my heat broke,
so I have to stay with friends.
I have lots of offers,
but if anyone wants to throw
their hat into the ring.
Wow, looks like lots of folks
are having a rough time, huh?
Yeah, but it figures
only Cheyenne would get a care package.
I bet this guardian angel
is just some sort of pervert.
What? No!
I mean, unless you mean
a pervert for giving.
I mean a pervert for pervin'.
Guys, I'm sure the guardian angel
is gonna give everyone a care package.
Otherwise, it's just unfair.
Ah, I was probably 25
when I finally heard
of dryer sheets.
Before that, it was just like
wrinkles, shminkles, you know.
Let's hit the club.
You know who else
likes dryer sheets?
Jonah's girlfriend. Which he has.
Your total is $26.17.
Oh, I'll round up for charity.
No. No rounding up.
Not like this.
Are you...
sorry, thank you so much.
Sandra, you have to stop.
I know you and Jerry don't,
like, talk to a lot of people,
but this is just meaningless banter.
'Scuse me. 'Scuse me. Hi. Jonah.
Oh, hey, yeah. You were here before.
Yeah, Judy, yeah. Culinary student.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, I don't usually do this,
and maybe I'm crazy,
but I feel like we had a...
- connection.
- Ah.
And I just...
I'm just wondering,
would you like to have coffee sometime?
You know what?
I did enjoy our...
our friendly conversation.
- Mm-hmm.
- So why not?
Oh, good.
And Eddie in bakery
does this drag show,
so I usually just give him
our extra packing material
for hip and boob pads.
I love that.
Yeah, I mean, you know,
it's just like this event today.
All you have to do
is show you care.
I really think
that's a big reason
why I've been able to earn
my employees' respect.
- Rodriguez.
- Over here.
Now.
She calls me... I've never known...
it's not racist, I don't think.
'Scuse me.
I've told you
not to call me that
in front of people.
How's the interview going?
Honestly, really great,
and I know that sounds braggy,
but bragging is really working
for me right now.
I think I've won her over.
Oh, that is awesome.
That means it probably
won't even matter
when this whole thing goes to [bleep].
- What?
- We're short on care packages.
There won't be enough
once the next bus arrives.
I probably should've led with that,
but you just kept talking and talking
about how great you're doing.
Anyway, guess these needy
women are gonna stay needy.
How is this possible?
I made sure that there were
enough for everybody coming.
Stealing from the poor? Ugh.
There's a special place in hell.
Yeah, or maybe, like,
the worst part of heaven.
This is a Class C felony.
20 care packages valued at,
what, 500 bucks a pop?
10,000. That's the total.
I mean, who would even...
wait.
Could this be Jeff?
I don't know why,
but he has been trying
to tear me down all day today.
Okay, don't be mad,
but I think it's
because I told him
that you set me up with your brother.
Mateo. Why would you even...
I said don't be mad!
Okay, fine, just...
go stall Isabel and
we'll go talk to Jeff.
I can't believe he
would stoop this low.
I mean, love makes you do crazy things.
You're enjoying
this, aren't you?
I'm trying not to!
Jeff, what the hell?
You've got a lot of gall.
In fact, if I measured
your gall level,
you would break
the gall level device.
It's called revenge, Amy.
I did what I had to do.
What, you did... you did? Are you sure?
How is stealing packages
from poor people
"what you had to do?"
What? No, I didn't take any packages.
I just... I farted in your office.
Ew. What?
But if somebody is taking
packages from a charity,
that's a horrible person.
Yeah, I mean,
unless they're doing something
equally charitable
with the packages,
but, you know, that would be
really hard to know.
Well, the next bus is gonna
get here in 20 minutes.
What am I gonna give
these women?
Why don't we just
give them some cash?
I'm happy to contribute.
I've got...
Glenn, don't worry about it.
I'll go figure out how to not
send them away empty-handed.
If you ever fart
in my best friend's office again,
it will be the last fart you ever fart.
I got you this.
This is a map of the night stars
over St. Louis where we met.
That's... ah, wow, that is so...
useful to anyone in St. Louis, really.
I just... I just...
oh, you just make me feel so electric
since you started flirting with me.
I mean, that is just...
No, no, no, no.
Sorry. I'm so sorry, Judy.
I just... this... I think
there was a misunderstanding.
- Oh.
- I was only being friendly.
I was definitely not flirting.
I guess I felt that
that was understood
because we're... obviously!
I mean, not obvious,
'cause you know,
you're gorgeous really,
for your cohort.
He was just doing
it for charity.
So you'd round up.
Oh, oh... oh, you did this...
you did this to me for 57 cents?
- Oh, I feel so stupid.
- No.
Oh, my God,
is this what catfishing is?
No, no, no, no, it's not.
- Catfishing is...
- No, not the time.
- What?
- Tell you later.
Sorry for the wait, ladies.
Here you go. Zephra cares.
You can wait till you're on
the bus to open those.
There's just tape
and some loose grapes in here.
Oh! Ooh.
You got the antioxidant package.
Yes.
Grapes are so important for the skin,
and skin is so important for the face.
Mm-hmm.
Then how come I
didn't get any grapes?
Well, all of the packages
are different because...
because the female
experience is not a monolith,
am I right, gals?
I mean, we don't all eat grapes.
Right?
This hairbrush is clearly used.
Did you go through my desk?
You haul us down here just
to give us a bunch of junk?
What is this, some kind of a joke?
No, I promise you, this is...
You think you can
treat us like crap
just because you have
a nice job and a nice coat.
Ladies, it's not like that.
That coat is from Ross.
I found the thief.
It was Cheyenne.
She took the care packages.
I'm telling you, somebody
just put this in my locker.
I haven't stolen anything
in, like, a really long time.
Okay, I'm sure that there's
an explanation for this.
My employees are not criminals.
Well, actually, some of them are,
but everyone deserves
a second chance.
This is not the point, Amy.
It wasn't Cheyenne!
And I know that
because I have a hunch.
I have a very good hunch.
Wait, it was Glenn.
He's lying right now
because he stole the stuff.
Not so dumb now.
I figured it out.
It was obvious to everyone, huh?
- Yes.
- Pretty obvious.
- So obvious.
- Yeah, we all got that.
- Yeah.
- Fine!
I gave them to the staff.
Why? Glenn, what were you thinking?
Our people are struggling, Amy.
Okay, you know what?
Just... you're gonna have to get
the packages back.
Oh.
Well, you almost pulled off
a Robin Hood,
except you gave to the poor
by stealing from the really poor.
He's picturing the
fox Robin Hood.
I'm picturing the man one.
Your total is $23.87.
Would you like to
round up for charity?
- Sure.
- What's 13 cents, right?
I'd rather not comment
on your finances.
Jerry.
You didn't have to come.
I told you to forget about it.
I did, but then I remembered again.
Hey, Jerry.
Sandra told me
you tried to make her do stuff
with men for money.
What... oh, oh. Earlier today?
No, that was... that was just talking.
Let me make myself perfectly clear.
I don't like that.
Jerry, please calm down.
I've never seen him this angry.
If you ever mess
with my marriage again,
I will hate it.
Got it. Understood.
Sandra, could you bring
home some magazines?
Bye, Jonah.
Bye, Jer.
Take notes, Jonah.
That's marriage material.
And yes, he reads magazines.
So probably doesn't look
great for the profile
that we were robbing
the homeless, huh?
I mean, robbing the homeless
is probably not exactly
how I'll frame it,
but, you know,
it's kind of a nice story.
Coworkers helping each other.
One big Zephra family.
Um, Cheyenne, could you come
over here for a second?
Oh, yeah, sure.
I would actually love to get
just, like, a quick shot
of Amy handing you
one of the care packages,
you know, just, like,
helping an employee in need.
Oh, I'm not in need.
If you wanna talk to a sad person,
you should go find Justine.
Yeah, we probably don't need a photo.
It'll just take one second. Great.
Oh, wait, so that's gonna end up online,
like, with my face on it and stuff?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I think maybe
you don't wanna post those
'cause of, like, optics, right?
I mean, it could come off
that Zephra employees get paid so little
that they rely on charity to...
Oh, I don't really think
anyone's connecting those dots.
Plus you guys look so awesome, right?
Cute.
She took so many photos today
that one probably won't even get posted.
It will Amy. I'm gorgeous.
Sucks.
we reach in to our hearts.
Today, let's show the world
how much Zephra cares.
I'm not doing any of that stuff.
We have to build houses?
I'm not comfortable
around tools or kids.
- Pass.
- Okay, guys, relax.
You don't have to
do any of the things
you just saw in the video.
All you have to do today
is hand out these nifty care packages

Zephra didn't even pay for it?
It's a PR stunt.
Okay, I'm confused.

Glenn, come on.
It's not that easy.
They did give us
that Lyft discount though.
Today I got to ride in a Kia Soul.

Oh, fun!
Oh, wait, is everything okay?
Oh, yeah.
It's just 'cause you
cosigned the lease,
and Bo and I were late
on the rent last month.
And this month.
She's crazy.
She's got, like,
a total boner for rent.
Cheyenne, if you're
having money problems,
I'm more than happy to help.
Oh, thanks, but no, we'll figure it out.
It's just, you know,
groceries and kid expenses
and then you get caught up
in a pyramid scheme
and then your husband
breaks his tailbone
- at backyard wrestling.
- Oh.

She's been a little extra

- Ah.
Anyway, thank you for
coming and talking to me.
Hey, always happy to show off
one of the leaders
in our new Cloud 9 family.
This is a really cool event
you've put together.
Well thank you,
but I couldn't have done this
without my team.
I mean, most of the credit goes to them.
And I also share some of that credit.
Hey, hey!
- Jeff?
- What are you doing here?
Thought I'd surprise you,
check in on the event
from the Cloud 9 side of things.
Oh, wow.
You survived the acquisition?
Not that I thought
that they were gonna fire you.
I mean, obviously
they value your...
Jeff, this is Isabel.
She works at Zephra.
Oh, oh, the parent company!
Oh, maybe I should
call you Mommy.
I'm gay, so that's not weird.
Oh good, 'cause for a second
I almost thought it was.
No, I'm from Digital Content.
We're doing a profile
on Amy for the website.
Oh, very cool, very cool.
Listen, I'm gonna run inside
and say hi to Mateo.
We've been playing phone tag
and he's been it
for, like, the whole time. Um...
Everything looks shipshape. Okay.
Great. Glad you approve.
I was 100% sure he'd been fired.
- He didn't get fired?
- I know, it's insane.
Ooh, I didn't know
we carried aged balsamic.
- Nice.
- Oh, yeah, it's great.
I make a reduction
and I drizzle it over vanilla ice cream.
Ah, that sounds amazing!
Are you, like, a culinary student, or...
Oh.
Haven't been a
student of anything
for a couple decades.
Ah, you could've fooled me.
Your total is $36.48.
Would you like to round up
to $37 today
for Holloway House
Women's Shelter?
Oh, yeah, sure.
Thank you so much.
It's for a great cause.
All right. Thank you.
You have five minutes
to tell Amy, or I will.
Tell Amy what?
How you were flirting with that lady.
Turning each other's cranks.
I thought you two were gonna
do it right here on the belt.
Oh, come on, Sandra.
I was just being friendly.
Customers appreciate a little,
you know, human connection.
Ugh. Close your legs, Jonah.
My legs are fine,
and if anything,
we should be a little
friendlier than usual today
to get people to round up for charity.
Not if it means betraying
the woman you love.
Trust me, I'm married now.
Don't you dream about someday
having what Jerry and I have?
Of course... well,
exactly what you and Jerry...
it's fine, Sandra.
Hi.
How's it going?
Hope you didn't have any trouble
finding those toe warmers.
He's gonna die alone.
Look, Mateo, when I put
my career on the line for you,
it was because it was
the right thing to do.
You don't owe me anything.
Although brunch
wouldn't kill you.
Look, Jeff, it's not gonna happen.
I'm actually seeing someone.
Oh. Oh, yeah?
Mateo, that's amazing!
Thank you. That's very nice of you.
I'm very happy for you.
How'd you guys meet, or I mean,
have you met yet
or is it maybe, like,
an online thing?
Actually, Amy introduced us.
He's her brother.
Oh, Amy did?
That's so nice of her.
Hey, folks.
- How's that digital coming?
- Good, yeah.
We're getting some good digital.
Actually, Amy's just
showing me around a little
before the buses come
so I can get a sense
of what she's like as a manager.
Ooh. Feels like I should
get in on that action.
Does it?
Yeah, actually,
it would be really helpful
to get some quotes
from corporate.
Yeah, sure.
That... that would be great.
Nice. We'll make it a three-way.
Again, totally gay.
And this is the break room.
Um... oh, I...
I noticed that there was
always a really long line
at the toaster,
so I bought another one.
Which, you know,
I think people appreciated.
I think you got your headline
there, "Manager buys toaster."
That's helpful, Jeff. Thank you.
Oh, and also, I know how hard it is
to eat healthy during long shifts,
so I keep this cabinet full
of healthy snacks for everyone.
Oof, that cabinet is pretty full.
Seems like people would rather
die than eat that stuff.
Well, I just replenished it.
Yeah, and thank you for the
healthy seaweed snack, SpongeBob.
Just messing with you,
SpongeBob.
Sorry, I'm... I'm SpongeBob? Is...
All right, there's a scarf in here.
Now be careful.
That's a loose knit,
so avoid all hooks
and low-hanging branches.
It'll pop your head clean off.
Huh. That's weird.
It looks like we're
one package short.
One package?
Wow, that's news to me.
Short, you said. Huh.
You must've counted wrong.
No, I counted right.
I double-checked and everything.
It's fine. I'll just
count 'em again myself.
Okay, so now you're saying
I don't know how to count?
Well, no offense, Garrett,
but you did say "intensive purposes,"
which, apparently, is kind of dumb.
I'm not dumb!
I'm one of the smartest
people in the store.
Well, that's a bit of a stretch.
It's true. It's kind of my thing.
People are always like,
"Garrett, he's clever and funny."
Okay, then be clever and funny.
Well... no, not...
it's not appropriate right now
when we're missing a package.
I'll set you up for it, okay?
A Polish guy and a
blonde walk into a bar.
- What?
- Come on, man.
I put you on the one yard line.
Your total is $3.89.
Would you like to
round up for charity?
Not today, thanks.
Hey, Sandra, aren't these
your favorite kind of chips?
Yes. I love these chips.
Oh. Cool.
Uh-huh.
You're a lucky man.
And these are some lucky chips
'cause they get to take a ride
in that hot little mouth of yours.
Nope.
Oh, my God. I have to call Jerry.
Jerry?
Jonah made me seduce a man.
Would you say you have
a unique management style?
Yeah. Yeah, I would say that.
Could you actually say it
just so I can quote you?
Everything's pulling
teeth with this one.
It's like, what are
you, a dentist?
- I mean, come on...
- Jeff!
Enough.
Listen, I am a working mother,
and I came up from the floor,
but it was worth it
because as a manager, I know
what my people need from me,
so it might seem silly,
but small things like healthy snacks
actually make a difference.
Yikes, Amy. Brag much?
Hey, Jeff, why don't you
give us a minute?
Maybe go grab a coffee
or literally anything?
I'm not clear whether
I report to you or not,
so I am gonna grab that coffee.
Wait, what's this doing in here?
Oh. Wow.
Oh, there's a note.
Looks like there's a note.
Why don't you look at the note?
Wonder what that note says.
Why don't you read the note?
"Cheyenne, thought you could use this.
From your guardian angel."
Aww.
Whoa, there's a lot of stuff in here.
Gift certificates, grocery coupons,
and an e-reader?
Nice, I could sell this
to some nerd and make bank.
Wow, you're so lucky.
Yes. Lucky ducky, quack quack.
What, don't you think it's nice
that someone helped out Cheyenne?
Oh, yeah, but where's my guardian angel?
I've got two kids and
an underwater mortgage.
And my heat broke,
so I have to stay with friends.
I have lots of offers,
but if anyone wants to throw
their hat into the ring.
Wow, looks like lots of folks
are having a rough time, huh?
Yeah, but it figures
only Cheyenne would get a care package.
I bet this guardian angel
is just some sort of pervert.
What? No!
I mean, unless you mean
a pervert for giving.
I mean a pervert for pervin'.
Guys, I'm sure the guardian angel
is gonna give everyone a care package.
Otherwise, it's just unfair.
Ah, I was probably 25
when I finally heard
of dryer sheets.
Before that, it was just like
wrinkles, shminkles, you know.
Let's hit the club.
You know who else
likes dryer sheets?
Jonah's girlfriend. Which he has.
Your total is $26.17.
Oh, I'll round up for charity.
No. No rounding up.
Not like this.
Are you...
sorry, thank you so much.
Sandra, you have to stop.
I know you and Jerry don't,
like, talk to a lot of people,
but this is just meaningless banter.
'Scuse me. 'Scuse me. Hi. Jonah.
Oh, hey, yeah. You were here before.
Yeah, Judy, yeah. Culinary student.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, I don't usually do this,
and maybe I'm crazy,
but I feel like we had a...
- connection.
- Ah.
And I just...
I'm just wondering,
would you like to have coffee sometime?
You know what?
I did enjoy our...
our friendly conversation.
- Mm-hmm.
- So why not?
Oh, good.
And Eddie in bakery
does this drag show,
so I usually just give him
our extra packing material
for hip and boob pads.
I love that.
Yeah, I mean, you know,
it's just like this event today.
All you have to do
is show you care.
I really think
that's a big reason
why I've been able to earn
my employees' respect.
- Rodriguez.
- Over here.
Now.
She calls me... I've never known...
it's not racist, I don't think.
'Scuse me.
I've told you
not to call me that
in front of people.
How's the interview going?
Honestly, really great,
and I know that sounds braggy,
but bragging is really working
for me right now.
I think I've won her over.
Oh, that is awesome.
That means it probably
won't even matter
when this whole thing goes to [bleep].
- What?
- We're short on care packages.
There won't be enough
once the next bus arrives.
I probably should've led with that,
but you just kept talking and talking
about how great you're doing.
Anyway, guess these needy
women are gonna stay needy.
How is this possible?
I made sure that there were
enough for everybody coming.
Stealing from the poor? Ugh.
There's a special place in hell.
Yeah, or maybe, like,
the worst part of heaven.
This is a Class C felony.
20 care packages valued at,
what, 500 bucks a pop?
10,000. That's the total.
I mean, who would even...
wait.
Could this be Jeff?
I don't know why,
but he has been trying
to tear me down all day today.
Okay, don't be mad,
but I think it's
because I told him
that you set me up with your brother.
Mateo. Why would you even...
I said don't be mad!
Okay, fine, just...
go stall Isabel and
we'll go talk to Jeff.
I can't believe he
would stoop this low.
I mean, love makes you do crazy things.
You're enjoying
this, aren't you?
I'm trying not to!
Jeff, what the hell?
You've got a lot of gall.
In fact, if I measured
your gall level,
you would break
the gall level device.
It's called revenge, Amy.
I did what I had to do.
What, you did... you did? Are you sure?
How is stealing packages
from poor people
"what you had to do?"
What? No, I didn't take any packages.
I just... I farted in your office.
Ew. What?
But if somebody is taking
packages from a charity,
that's a horrible person.
Yeah, I mean,
unless they're doing something
equally charitable
with the packages,
but, you know, that would be
really hard to know.
Well, the next bus is gonna
get here in 20 minutes.
What am I gonna give
these women?
Why don't we just
give them some cash?
I'm happy to contribute.
I've got...
Glenn, don't worry about it.
I'll go figure out how to not
send them away empty-handed.
If you ever fart
in my best friend's office again,
it will be the last fart you ever fart.
I got you this.
This is a map of the night stars
over St. Louis where we met.
That's... ah, wow, that is so...
useful to anyone in St. Louis, really.
I just... I just...
oh, you just make me feel so electric
since you started flirting with me.
I mean, that is just...
No, no, no, no.
Sorry. I'm so sorry, Judy.
I just... this... I think
there was a misunderstanding.
- Oh.
- I was only being friendly.
I was definitely not flirting.
I guess I felt that
that was understood
because we're... obviously!
I mean, not obvious,
'cause you know,
you're gorgeous really,
for your cohort.
He was just doing
it for charity.
So you'd round up.
Oh, oh... oh, you did this...
you did this to me for 57 cents?
- Oh, I feel so stupid.
- No.
Oh, my God,
is this what catfishing is?
No, no, no, no, it's not.
- Catfishing is...
- No, not the time.
- What?
- Tell you later.
Sorry for the wait, ladies.
Here you go. Zephra cares.
You can wait till you're on
the bus to open those.
There's just tape
and some loose grapes in here.
Oh! Ooh.
You got the antioxidant package.
Yes.
Grapes are so important for the skin,
and skin is so important for the face.
Mm-hmm.
Then how come I
didn't get any grapes?
Well, all of the packages
are different because...
because the female
experience is not a monolith,
am I right, gals?
I mean, we don't all eat grapes.
Right?
This hairbrush is clearly used.
Did you go through my desk?
You haul us down here just
to give us a bunch of junk?
What is this, some kind of a joke?
No, I promise you, this is...
You think you can
treat us like crap
just because you have
a nice job and a nice coat.
Ladies, it's not like that.
That coat is from Ross.
I found the thief.
It was Cheyenne.
She took the care packages.
I'm telling you, somebody
just put this in my locker.
I haven't stolen anything
in, like, a really long time.
Okay, I'm sure that there's
an explanation for this.
My employees are not criminals.
Well, actually, some of them are,
but everyone deserves
a second chance.
This is not the point, Amy.
It wasn't Cheyenne!
And I know that
because I have a hunch.
I have a very good hunch.
Wait, it was Glenn.
He's lying right now
because he stole the stuff.
Not so dumb now.
I figured it out.
It was obvious to everyone, huh?
- Yes.
- Pretty obvious.
- So obvious.
- Yeah, we all got that.
- Yeah.
- Fine!
I gave them to the staff.
Why? Glenn, what were you thinking?
Our people are struggling, Amy.
Okay, you know what?
Just... you're gonna have to get
the packages back.
Oh.
Well, you almost pulled off
a Robin Hood,
except you gave to the poor
by stealing from the really poor.
He's picturing the
fox Robin Hood.
I'm picturing the man one.
Your total is $23.87.
Would you like to
round up for charity?
- Sure.
- What's 13 cents, right?
I'd rather not comment
on your finances.
Jerry.
You didn't have to come.
I told you to forget about it.
I did, but then I remembered again.
Hey, Jerry.
Sandra told me
you tried to make her do stuff
with men for money.
What... oh, oh. Earlier today?
No, that was... that was just talking.
Let me make myself perfectly clear.
I don't like that.
Jerry, please calm down.
I've never seen him this angry.
If you ever mess
with my marriage again,
I will hate it.
Got it. Understood.
Sandra, could you bring
home some magazines?
Bye, Jonah.
Bye, Jer.
Take notes, Jonah.
That's marriage material.
And yes, he reads magazines.
So probably doesn't look
great for the profile
that we were robbing
the homeless, huh?
I mean, robbing the homeless
is probably not exactly
how I'll frame it,
but, you know,
it's kind of a nice story.
Coworkers helping each other.
One big Zephra family.
Um, Cheyenne, could you come
over here for a second?
Oh, yeah, sure.
I would actually love to get
just, like, a quick shot
of Amy handing you
one of the care packages,
you know, just, like,
helping an employee in need.
Oh, I'm not in need.
If you wanna talk to a sad person,
you should go find Justine.
Yeah, we probably don't need a photo.
It'll just take one second. Great.
Oh, wait, so that's gonna end up online,
like, with my face on it and stuff?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I think maybe
you don't wanna post those
'cause of, like, optics, right?
I mean, it could come off
that Zephra employees get paid so little
that they rely on charity to...
Oh, I don't really think
anyone's connecting those dots.
Plus you guys look so awesome, right?
Cute.
She took so many photos today
that one probably won't even get posted.
It will Amy. I'm gorgeous.
Sucks.
