Best character
I could never pick an all-time favourite character, but Cheyenne is definitely my top three. The moment at the start of the episode where she has a smart idea is so cute, people always make fun of her for being dumb. I do feel bad for her in the rest of this episode though. She’s struggling to buy things for her baby and they won’t let her put aside the discounted products. Who cares if corporate are in? Just let her take a short break to get the stuff.

Best quotes and one liners
AMY: Why is a smiling white lady always the mascot? ‘Cause in my experience, usually they’re, like, the first to snap.
DINA: She’s not wrong.
GARRETT: I personally blame all the yogurt white ladies eat.
CHEYENNE: Why didn’t they make it a superhero? You know, ’cause SuperCloud? And it could have, like, a cape or something, and, like, little cloud muscles.
JEFF: Yeah, wow, that’s clean, it’s simple, it’s visual, that is probably what it should’ve been. Damn. So all right, let’s just move on. Here are some words we’d like you guys to pepper in to the conversation today whenever SuperCloud comes up, obviously, so “cool,” “millennial,” “on fleek”…have to go back to the superhero mascot, I’m so sorry, that’s just a home run.
CHEYENNE: Yeah, and he could be saving people with savings.
JEFF: [bleep] that’s good.
GLENN: Hey, Cheyenne, can you go wake up this lady that fell asleep in Electronics? Last time I tried something like that, I got punched in the beans.
CHEYENNE: Umm, can I just buy some of this discounted Halo stuff for my baby first? It’s normally so expensive I can barely afford her eye shadow.
JONAH: Yeah, that was my nickname in school. They, uh, you know, ice in the veins, cool and collected.
REX: It’s because you were always cold in class. You had that afghan.
JONAH: That was a blazer. That was a knit blazer.
AMY: Oh, my God. You’re Iceman.
JONAH: I’m gonna hear this again, aren’t I?
AMY: Yes, Iceman, you are, Iceman.
MATEO: I need to pull off the veil of secrecy [mimes taking a veil off]
JEFF: What are you doing? What is that? Is that something you’ve practiced?
MATEO: Just a couple times in the mirror, don’t worry about it.
DINA: Hey, we need to talk.
MATEO: I know, right? What’s going on, girl?
DINA: No, not a gay talk. We need to talk about who the snitch is. Now, it had to be somebody in that room, but who? Okay, it couldn’t have been Ramona, her husband doesn’t let her talk to other men. Wasn’t Tim, his jaw’s still wired shut, after talking to Ramona. I know it wasn’t me. So that just leaves Justine, Elias, Sandra, you, uh…what?
MATEO: You know how I hate to gossip, but I was out back last week, and I saw Jeff making out with Sandra.
DINA: Sandra?
MATEO: Yeah, man on woman. It was disgusting.
DINA: Oh, my God, it was Sandra. Oh, I am gonna drop-kick that bitch back into whatever volcano she crawled out of…
MATEO: Wait, um, wouldn’t it be worse if we didn’t even tell her that we know, just ice her out, never talk to her again and don’t tell her why? It’s pretty much the meanest thing you can do to someone.
DINA: I don’t know. I didn’t have a single friend in high school, and I loved it there.
MATEO: Yeah, but, Sandra’s not as strong as you.
DINA: You’re right.
MATEO: Yeah.
DINA: She’s the weakest person I’ve ever met.
Final thoughts and fun facts
We have yet another last name reveal in this episode. Obviously, you already know this if you’ve watched Superstore before, but Jonah’s last name is Simms.
Amy’s fake name tag says “Margaret” in this episode.
At the end of every episode, the card for the production company Spitzer Holding Company features a variety of items they specialise in. In this episode, they list Microloans, Nanorobots, and Minishrimp.
