10 Items Or Less premiered on TBS on November 27, 2006. 10 Items or Less is a new comedy series that combines scripted and improvisational elements. The series goes behind the scenes at a family-owned grocery store being run by a host of interesting characters. Leslie Pool returns to his native Ohio to run the Green & Grains grocery store he has just inherited from his father. His somewhat dysfunctional staff includes Carl, the sweet, doofus stockboy who serves as Leslie's sidekick; Yolanda, the straight-talking dominant force in the produce department who's also pregnant with Carl's baby; Buck, the bagger who is looking towards the future by attending night school; Ingrid, the quirky-soft-spoken customer service representative who lives for Renaissance festivals; Richard, the dignified cashier who dreams of becoming a professional ice dancer; and Todd, the sexy butcher who hopes one day to be a stock car driver. Seeking to undermine Green & Grains is Leslie's arch nemesis, Amy, who manages the Super Value Mart down the street. He has known her since high school, where she was the popular beauty queen and he, a nerd.
