I'm aware there is at least one TV show that deals with the premise of a comedy centering on a group of employees at a supermarket or retail store or the like, but are there any films that have this premise?
Looking preferably for something between 1980 and the present.
Thanks in advance.

Home Alone
shows Kevin going to the supermarket several times.
Zombieland
has a funny sequence in a grocery store, if you're like me and consider it a comedy.
That's right! You're about to be killed by a zamboni!
