A Recap: Seasons 1 and 2
At the heart of Hamburg-Altona lies the modest discount store "Feinkost Kolinski." Overseen by manager Thorsten, the team - a mix of dedicated and aimless employees - bears the brunt of daily supermarket chaos, rife with customer displeasure, theft, and vermin problems. This bizarre scenario is amplified by financial woes and personal issues, leaving some employees indifferent to the situation.
As if this isn't enough, store manager Thorsten grapples with a sales drop. But his troubles multiplies when he learns that health authorities will conduct inspections at the shop.
Moreover, the annual summer party spins out of control due to workplace romances and rivalry between Kolinski branches.

Exciting Developments in Season 3
Twists and laughs await fans as the Kolinski team is uprooted to Billstedt, where the strained morale of the employees and income drops further. Store manager Thorsten races against time to salvage the store with an innovative promotional campaign.
Head of security Jonas faces more obstacles in Billstedt than previously in Altona, while the rest of the staff continues to wrestle with boredom, feuds, shenanigans, and a scandalous love triangle. Meanwhile, Wilhelm gets his hands dirty with decommissioning a bomb!
But the monotony of the job is something the employees learn to love. Look forward to countless hilarious moments and guest appearances keeping your spirits high!
