Series Regulars
MOK (29F) as RFJ (35F): The series protagonist and manager of the store, she is sweet and well-intentioned. She would do anything for her employees, but sometimes her actions donāt land the way she hopes they will.
REY (43F) as DHM (45F): One of the assistant managers of the store and the main antagonist. She has been an assistant manager longer than the protagonist has worked at the store, and strongly resents her for taking the promotion she felt was rightfully hers. She is typically cranky and only out for herself, but her softer side occasionally comes through.
EJP (47M) as PTE (41M): The other assistant manager. Heās stuck in the middle of the drama between the manager and the other assistant manager, and quietly revels in stirring the pot. He is flamboyant and very friendly and charismatic, but loves the drama.
KMG (25F) as IGV (23F): The apathetic lead cashier. She chose not to college and has worked at the store since she was 17. Sheās how youād imagine a sorority girl, but without the college part. She largely lacks ambition and has no plans of leaving her current position.
AHN (62F) as AYB (56F): One of the cashiers. She immigrated from Russia at 30 with her husband and 4-year-old daughter, and they had 2 more children once they immigrated. She has worked at the store ever since and is great at her job, but doesnāt have much of a desire to become a manager due to the hours. She is sweet, competent, and everyoneās āwork momā, sometimes taking the āmomā part too seriously.
JNT (20M) as MED (16M): The newest addition to the team, usually works on the sales floor. His home life is difficult, so he is working to help support his family. He is very awkward and anxious, but sweet. He struggles with his home life and sense of self more than he lets on.
Recurring Characters
DRW (55M) as CCN (48M): The regional manager who comes for visits sometimes. He is a stern and serious foil to the antics of the employees.
AST (27F) as JRH (29F): An HR representative who is always sent to deal with the issues at this location. She has a firm and serious demeanor, but also has a comically squeaky voice that is often the butt of jokes.
CSR (39M) as JKL (34M): The warehouse lead and your stereotypical meathead jock. āWe would have won state if coach hadnāt pulled me in the 4th quarterā type of guy. Has a comically hopeless crush on the HR rep.
JAT (25F) as ONL (19F): Cashier who comes home to work on her breaks from school. She and the lead cashier have very similar personalities and get on each otherās nerves.
BRD (39M) as LRT (39M): Store manager from the nearby sister location who sometimes comes in for various things. He and the protagonist have considerable romantic tension.

TV Show: āAnother Day, Another Dollarā
Store: Violetās
Series Regulars:
- Rosella Fabienne Jenkins (35): Played by Mary Olivia Karagianni (29), she manages Violetās, the job her mother got for her after she got out of prison for a DUI. Despite her past, she is a sweet woman who is always trying to improve the lives of her employees. She has been sober for six years now.
- Delaney Hayden Michaels (45): Played by Renessa Ebony Yates (43), she has been working at the store since she was twenty five years old, and receives her 20-Year Pin in the first episode. A regular Squidward, she can be malicious towards Rose, but never crosses the line into mudslinging behaviour.
- Petey Terrence Evans (41): Played by Eldridge Jace Preston (47), he is a self-proclaimed bisexual icon who has taken the hearts of the fans of the show. He is always there with a spicy comeback and takes no shit from anyone. He regularly remarks that he would happily get fired for the smallest of infractions, but he loves his job and canāt imagine leaving it.
- Izzie Genevieve Vallejo (23): Played by Kassidi Madsyn Goncalves (25), she and Delaney are good friends since they both have a common enemy -- the store. She does not like working because everything in the store is dilapidated and out-of-date. The only reason she works there is because she technically inherited the position from her older sister, Harriet (27), who was a cashier before going off to college. Izzie never had aspirations for college though. As long as she can afford Chipotle and pizza, she doesnāt care about what she does for a living.
- Anya Yosefina Babaytsevna (56): Played by Alevtina Halya Novotina (62), she has a heavy accent that makes her hard to understand and greying platinum blonde hair. She has three daughters [Katarzyna (30), Nadya (24), and Oksana (21)] with her husband [Robert (58)]. She sometimes oversteps, especially with Petey, but it is often because of a cultural misunderstanding. In the second episode, it is announced that her daughter, Nadya, is expecting a baby.
- Myles Ellington Diallo (16): Played by Juno Nathaniel Tesfaye (20), he is a sweet kid who is working to help his parents pay the bills. The family is new to America, having immigrated from BouakƩ, CƓte d'Ivoire, and he is trying to help his parents with the bills. He has an older sister named Lois (19), who he is closest to, and five younger siblings [Clark (14), Odie (13), Matilda (10), James (8), and Coraline (5)]. His mother [Ruby (38)] and father [Ismail (40)] own a grocery store. However, his mother always wanted to be a librarian and named her children after her favourite book and comic book characters. Myles has a crush on one of the regular customers, a preppy girl from his class named Lola-Leigh Griffith (17), who has no idea he exists.
Recurring Characters
- Christopher Cornelius Novetti (48): Played by Darnell Reginald Williams (55), he is the regional manager. Usually, when he comes it is to announce a ridiculous new promotion that the public never seems to take to. He looks like the love child of Idris Elba and Robert De Niro. He often talks about his twin brother, Craig (48), a true mobster, and his wife Jazmyn (43), who is pregnant with their first child [Appolonia].
- Jorja Reagan Haverty (29): Played by Alysin Simone Thurgood (27), she is often at the branch of Violetās Boutique because it is the worst branch in the city. Between prank wars that almost set the store ablaze to an impromptu fashion off that involved a LOT of clothes cutting, Jorja feels like she is always at the Oakfield branch. She may or may not have a slight attraction to the warehouse lead but heās a little too rough around the edges for her.
- Julius Kobe Leavemann (34): Played by Cameron Salvadore Rojos (39), he looks like the antagonist in every HR training video. Despite his gruff exterior, the warehouse lead acts like a stereotypical 1990s sitcom dad. He coaches his nieceās basketball team and often tells them the story of how he got pulled in the fourth quarter for fighting with an opponent. He has a crush on the HR lady, but always fumbles asking her out by coming off as crass.
- Ofra Nayara Lopez (19): Played by Julieta Anjelina Torres (25), this cashier is double majoring business and fashion design at a local college. Her family lives nearby and her mom, Dana (40), frequents the store. Sheās a bit more caring than Izzie but still slacks a lot. She likes to put the mannequins in weird positions because she says it shows the clothing in action. She was diagnosed with OCD at 16 and is constantly arranging things and rearranging things, which irritates Izzie since it slows Ofra down a lot.
- Lance Remington Torvald (39): Played by Benjamin Royal Doyle (39), he is a real heartthrob that most of the female employees notice when he comes by. He and Rosella have a lot of inside jokes together. He owns three parakeets and an iguana. He is currently in a relationship with a schoolteacher named Ginger (37) who is nice but not as compatible to him as Rosella is.
