22-year-old Dante (Brian O’Halloran) agrees to work in the convenience store where he is employed on his day off. From the moment he arrives at work, it is clear that the day will consist of a string of mishaps, irritations and disasters.
This faux-indie film was hailed largely for its amateurish acting and poor production values.
Director Kevin Smith shot the film in the same Quick Stop where he spent his days working and cast friends and family, maxing out ten credit cards to afford the $27,575 production.

Loved by high school rebels, Smith is regarded by film purists as a director who should keep his ego in check and remain doing what he is more proficient at – writing.
He returned in 1995 with Mallrats.
