Plot[]
Frankly, this is a mismatch.
A going away party is held in the Break Room for Jeff. Mateo also considers it a celebration of he and Jeff dating again while Dina celebrates not having to work with Jeff. Glenn reminisces a bland story about Jeff which causes Sandra to relate intimate details about her fake relationship with Jeff. Glenn mentions to Jeff that the café is popular with the unemployed but Jeff says he's a manager at a Target store. He kids with Glenn about being the competition and they play fight until Glenn accidentally punches Jeff in the throat. In the store, Glenn tells Amy, Justine and Mateo he's worried as Jeff knows all the store's secrets and will be stiff competition. In the Break Room, Jonah and Kelly are looking on a laptop for a place to move in together but Jonah continually finds fault with all the options which Garrett finds annoying.
His older sister babysat me.
Dina approaches Amy and tells her that she's having lunch with a guy from a pet store (Hank). Hank is bringing a friend so in a condescending manner, Dina encourages Amy to come along but she passes. Garrett enters Glenn's Office and asks Glenn for a raise but Glenn is so worried about Target that he rebuffs Garrett. Garrett lies that Jeff offered him more money to work at Target so Glenn calls Jeff and leaves an angry voice mail that they need to meet. A customer can't leave an aisle because an incredibly long line of shopping carts are being pushed by. (♫ Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin' ♫) In the Break Room, Amy catches Dina showing Justine a picture of the man she tried to set up with Amy. Justine enthusiastically wants to go on the double date but when Amy sees the black and white picture, she changes her mind and accepts over Justine's protests. The double date is at a restaurant and Amy finds out her date, Walter, is very old.
We need to go 3D.
Jeff arrives for his meeting with Glenn and is intercepted by Garrett who unsuccessfully tries to get him to dispense with the meeting. At the restaurant, Amy finds out Walter knows Hank because Hank's sister babysat him. At the store, Jonah and Kelly tape a floor plan of their ideal living room but Jonah insists they need to try it out with furniture. In Glenn's Office, Glenn tells Jeff that they need to agree to not "pooch" (poach) each other's staff. Jeff agrees but Glenn still takes offence and continually sprays Jeff with water from a squirt bottle. Incensed, Jeff leaves and says he will poach Glenn's staff. At the lunch, Dina sees the Ozark Highlands store beverage supplier come into the restaurant so Amy makes the excuse that she needs to talk to him for work reasons. She explains to the supplier (Alex) that she's on a terrible date and he agrees to pretend to talk to her so she can avoid the date. A customer continuously drops items from an overloaded armful. (♫ Gavin DeGraw - I Don't Want to Be ♫)
You hate most of the people who work here.
Earl helps deliver a couch for the furniture display. Jonah sits but complains more furniture is needed. Jeff marches into the store and standing on a movable ladder, asks who'd like to join Target. Jeff admits to Mateo he's doing this out of spite. Glenn tries to sing over Jeff's speech while Justine and Sandra express their admiration for Target. Sandra offers to go to Target and Glenn gloats that Jeff can't poach Garrett. Glenn announces that Jeff is banned from the store and starts pushing the ladder towards the exit. Mateo happens upon Jonah and Kelly setting up the furniture display and when they lie that Glenn asked them to set it up, he thinks Glenn is mad at him because of Jeff. At the restaurant, Amy and Alex start to bond and laugh over Amy's situation. Glenn and Garrett visit the Target Jeff said he works at intent on poaching staff. Glenn is impressed with the store.
Isn't that the store where they found a foot?
Dina interrupts Amy and Alex and pulls Amy back to the table. A customer eats out of a bulk bin with a scoop. (♫ The Go-Go's - Vacation ♫) The furniture display now has many items which Jonah finds cramped. Kelly confronts him and asks if he really wants to move in together. He says he does and admits that the situation with Amy was part of the reason for his behaviour. Glenn and Garrett try to poach a number of Target employees but are unsuccessful as Target offers higher employee discounts and the Ozarks Highlands Superstore has a bad reputation. (♫ Portugal. The Man - Live In the Moment ♫) Glenn forces business cards on numerous staff, relates the store's romances and hates and deludes himself that the Target staff are poached. They approach a staff member from behind adjusting a baby stroller and Glenn screams when Cheyenne turns around.
Here you are!
Cheyenne admits she works part-time at both stores to made extra money for college. Another reason she works at Target is that Harmonica gets to go to a good daycare. Jonah and Kelly re-affirm their commitment while squishing bread loaves. Jeff approaches Mateo who is setting up a new furniture display. Mateo knows Jeff lied about having a job and wishes he hadn't picked Target for his lie. Sandra, dressed in a Target uniform overhears their conversation and disappointed, runs off to find Glenn. At Target, while eating popcorn, Glenn commiserates with Garrett that they work at an inferior store. Owen, a Target employee, tells them they can't eat on store display furniture but Cheyenne explains that they are her friends. Owen has heard Cheyenne speak of Glenn but not Garrett. Owen doesn't know who Jeff is which Glenn takes to mean Jeff doesn't matter. At the store, Dina tells Amy that Walter likes her. Dina brags about the sex she'll be having later but Amy isn't paying attention as she sees Alex come into the store. Alex makes an excuse that he's delivering on a day he doesn't usually deliver because his boss told him to but Amy realizes he came to see her.
The foot: Glenn and Garrett are unsuccessful in trying to poach Target employee Owen as he mentions that a foot was found at the Ozarks Highlands Superstore.
