astro129 The show is set in a locally owned grocery store. The founder's son has inherited the store after the death of his father. The characters primarily consist of the owner/son and the quirky employees. A very formulaic premise. I don't normally think of TBS for original comedy. Thus, I was not expecting much. Boy, was I surprised. It was very funny.The generally unknown cast is appreciated as it is a nice contrast to the recycled comedy actors on the Big 4 networks. The first episode did a nice job of introducing the characters with humor and even had a little dramatic tension. If subsequent episodes are this smart, I am definitely hooked. 9 out of 10.

MovieAddict2016 It's never very promising when advertising campaigns for upcoming television shows have to constantly remind us of how unoriginal the program is by endlessly comparing it to other popular shows. "10 Items or Less" was promoted, in fact, with the following slogan: "If you thought working in an office was funny, wait until you see what it's like to work in a CONVENIENCE STORE!!" Oh, wow! Brilliant! Let's rip-off a television show which is already a remake of another international television show from Britain! Awesome! High fives TBS execs! You really nailed it on the head this time!I mean, after a string of flop original TV shows I imagine they must have all been sitting in their meeting with a collective frown trying to figure out how to (finally) achieve success. "How about we make a fake documentary show...and put it in an office?""Hasn't that already been done?" - "Oh, yeah, right." (Pause) - "I know! Let's put it in a CONVENIENCE store!" - "Yes! Brilliant idea!" - "High fives all around!"Not only are the characters flat, uninteresting and virtually _all_ rip-offs of characters from The Office (including Leslie, who is a painfully unfunny Steve Carrell/Andy Gervais wannabe) - their second episode DIRECTLY STEALS from an episode of the TV show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"! It's not just a casual similarity, either. The episode of Sunny featured the owners of a bar trying to exploit a water stain on the wall of their establishment which resembles Jesus. The new episode of "10 Items" (which premieres in 15 minutes) features the EXACT same plot line!I struggled through the first episode trying to understand just how on earth such a desperate show could ever be greenlit. This is the stuff of film parody. There are the stereotypes of dumb executives trying to constantly cash in on successful fads - but this is almost TOO outrageous to be real! It's a lame-brain copycat right down to its very directorial style and plot lines.The debut was one of the worst TV show debuts I've ever seen. Premieres are never fantastic in most cases but this was agonizing to sit through.This show will disappear very soon, and I hope everyone involved never has a chance to work again. Why? Well, because I'm a rather evil person who will no doubt find great delight in watching this pack of moronic actors have little-to-no success in the future.Good luck, guys!

bananaboy111 Oh look, another comedy that throws together bits and pieces of other TV comedy sucesses, only to end up with soulless crap. The talentless John Lehr tries far too hard and seems entirely unaware of himself. In fact, The supporting cast pull their characters off better than he does. It's physically painful watching Lehr butcher what is already a weak script. Not only is it a struggle to find what could even be considered laugh lines, but Lehr ensures there's nothing funny about his basic character (unlike a show like The Office, for example, where Steve Carrel could stand motionless and still be hilarious). Ignore the first couple comments which are brutally obvious plants. Don't waste your time with this show, it won't be around much longer anyway.

joshiebear I heard of this show on IMDb of all places, and it was on after my Monday night block of heroes and studio 60, so I figured I'd check it out and see how it was. Within 5 minutes, I desperately wanted to change the channel. This is a terrible show. As pointed out by another user perfectly, this show is a cheap copy of the office with a few tweaks and a whole truckload of short-comings. The boss is well-meaning, but completely uncool. His employees only tolerate him because they work for him. Sounds familiar. Oh yeah. Yup, this is Michael from the office, only he's not funny in this show. And the characters aren't something I would care about at all. It's completely unoriginal and very poorly executed. Pass with a vengeance.
