Review :

Doug Stauber is one of those people who stuck along with it. Working in a chain supermarket called McDougals, he is the assistant manager for a crew of misfits that you would expect to see working in a place where they really could care less that they are there and express it in their quality of work. In the case of Doug, he is one of the few people who do care. In fact, aside from the higher ups of the corporate branch, even his better-off supervisor could care less. Doug is likely that very same man or woman you spoke with when you complained about the poor way you were treated at Wal-Mart, or some other huge department chain; a nice guy, who means well and honestly deserves more for all the damage control he gets piled on his lap.

But he makes do. He has a beautiful girlfriend who makes more than him with a boss who does amazing things, they share an apartment with walls thin enough to hear their next-door banjo playing neighbor, and he has hopes to get somewhere in his life and bring some happiness to his girlfriend and maybe get a chance to find his own.

That is why, when Doug finds out about a new McDougals opening in a nearby location, he knows that he must become the new head supervisor for that location and get that happiness that people above him have. All seems right, until Richard Welner comes in.

Richard is a bit of a different story: he’s the man who has had rough luck in his life, maybe walked on the wrong side of the tracks for a time, but is starting to make up for his mistakes and does a decent job at it. You might have seen Richard as the tattooed lady who takes care of supplies for the office, or the person in a white collar outfit doing slightly labor-intensive work that requires a good thinker with good initiative. He or she means well, and you can’t fault them for it even if they aren’t great at it.
