From the joy of exchanging Christmas cookies with the customers to the despair of gathering carts in the rain, every day in a small-town grocery store has something to offer. These days, that's more than the employees bargained for. With new managers, new dress codes and new policies coming from all angles, they rely on each other to maintain their sanity. Melissa, the bookkeeper, has a mystery to solve. Someone is embezzling funds, and everyone who investigates gets fired. For Andy, a part-time stocker, the store is another link to his Alzheimer's-stricken grandfather. He lives for the "good days" when Grandpa can be proud of his work ethic. Working days, Taylor derives great enjoyment from a fairly regular customer base. She rarely meets anyone who can't be won over with kindness, and has plenty of that to spare. Omen considers her co-workers close family; the customers are more distantly related. When her world falls apart, they are her comfort and the store is a refuge.

Joanna Hope has worked in various retail settings over the years and, as usual, found a story in it. Having watched thousands of customer/employee interactions go very smoothly, Joanna wondered why the internet is so full of negative anecdotes. One gets the impression that customers are all stupid and retail workers despise them; or, conversely, that retail workers are all lazy jerks and customers despise them. In reality, the vast majority of both are just regular people doing life in tandem or - if they're lucky - together. Most of the incidents herein are derived from personal accounts and sensationalized for the sheer fun of it. Joanna enjoyed doing the research for this novel almost as much as she enjoyed the actual writing.
