On his day off, Dante Hicks, a retail clerk at the Quick Stop Groceries convenience store in Leonardo, New Jersey, is instructed by his boss to cover another employee's morning shift.

Dante's girlfriend Veronica Loughran enters, calms the crowd with a fire extinguisher, and confronts the customer, actually a Chewlies representative.

He spends his shift dealing with customers either angry and demanding, clueless and impolite, or unexpectedly wise.
