Plots(1)
After the introduction of automatic pay stations that threaten their jobs, staff members at a Hard Discount store secretly create their own "Alternative Discount" outlet by diverting products that otherwise would be thrown away. In a gloomy northern suburb where everyone wears a perpetual frown, one of the only major employers in the area seems to be Discount, a medium-sized, low-cost market that attracts crowds of working-class shoppers every morning. Managed with an iron first by the stressed, perpetually single Sofia, the cashiers Gilles, Christiane, Emma and Alfred fight to keep their jobs despite the constant threat of layoffs and the store's draconian rules regarding customer service and bathroom breaks, which are timed with a stopwatch. When Sofia is forced by her own horrible bosses to start issuing pink slips, Gilles convinces his fellow employees to fight back in a completely unexpected manner: stealing boxes of product from Discount and reselling them for even less in a makeshift shop that they open in Christiane's garage.
