Having promised Jerusha he would avoid the stress he previously experienced as store manager, Glenn lets the employees cast a vote for who they want as floor supervisor. Jonah decides to throw his hat into the ring, but Dina suggests that Cheyenne should take the spot, thinking she would be easier to manipulate, though Cheyenne proves to have good ideas of her own and wins the election.

Glenn is excited to see customers spinning the wheel, but upon showing up, he announces he was exposed to a COVID-19 positive person in his church choir. He spends the day in his car getting wheel updates from Sandra over the phone. This leaves Dina to run the store and, having frequently criticized Glenn's management style, she is determined to run a tight ship. This does not endear her to the staff, who openly announce they want Glenn back. Meanwhile, Jonah is excited to learn that his dad set up an interview with a corporation focused on alternative energy, and he lets Garrett and Cheyenne know of his desire to move on.

The cat dies before the surgery takes place, however, and Sandra uses the money to buy a diamond necklace with her cat's ashes inside. The necklace is then stolen by one of the rioters.

Cheyenne is put to work with Carol and report anything she does and finds that Carol is not all that she thinks.

After coaching Glenn prior to his deposition, Jonah forgets his own advice while being deposed and inadvertently implies Glenn was incompetent as floor supervisor.

Dina asks for Cheyenne's assistance to help run the clean up, and things go awry when Dina accidentally gets high on cleaning product fumes.

Fearing that they will be fired, Glenn and Dina come up with an idea on how to bring up scores, but putting Marcus in charge of one scheme leads to the store being flooded with water. After Cheyenne reveals the employees with the lowest survey scores and banishes them to the back, a miffed Jonah tries to rally the other selected employees to value themselves by slacking off. Also, Mateo enlists Garrett's help to hide his relationship with Eric from Jeff, only to have Jeff later brag about a non-existent boyfriend.

After a meeting in the break room and a reunion with Jonah, Amy and the crew attempt to clean up the store to prepare for an inspection by a visiting Zephra representative. Actions include introducing "handsome/hot" greeters to the front entrance, rejecting weird customers, and increasing the flower supply, among others in order to look better than the rival branch in Quincy, IL. Their efforts end up turning awry when Marcus and Justine find eight dismembered human feet in a duffel bag. Shortly after, reporters from several news stations cover the incident, interviewing Jonah. Mateo worries that he might get deported if he is not able to find another job, and tries to be Carol's personal assistant before learning her legal settlement with the store was not that much.

Production

Further information: Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on television in the United States

Superstore was renewed for a sixth season on February 11, 2020, with the intention of airing during the 2020–21 United States network television schedule. ^{[16] [17]} On February 28, it was announced that series star America Ferrera would depart at the end of the fifth season citing new work opportunities. ^[18] After production delays to the fifth season's final episode due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ferrera's role was extended; she was included in the first two episodes of the sixth season to wrap up her character's storyline. ^{[19] [20]} In November, it was reported that Kelly Stables would return in the seventh episode to portray Jonah's ex-girlfriend Kelly. Prior to the episode's release, the plot for her return was kept under wraps. ^[21] Production for the sixth season began in September 2020 with full safety protocols in place amid the pandemic. ^[22]

This was a show where going escapist just did not make sense. Our characters would be people in a very interesting, tough spot. There was some feeling that we should set multiple episodes in the early period — March, April, May. We definitely wanted to have an episode where we saw [the pandemic] start. We ultimately decided we should not spend too long on the beginning of the pandemic because the whole thing about the pandemic is its constant presence, it being this shadow in people's lives.

— Owen Ellickson on creating an episode surrounding the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic ^[23]

America Ferrera returned for the finale after leaving at the start of the season.

During production, multiple showrunners, writers, and lead actors questioned whether it was the right choice to make a season about the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, it was decided that the topic had to be mentioned due to the show's characters being essential workers, with Superstore serving as a "guinea pig" for Universal Television, producers of the series, to test the idea. ^[23] This resulted in the creation of a "time jump" in the premiere episode set around various events during the pandemic. ^[23] Furthermore, writers on the show decided to feature face masks as a key element for the season. However, this resulted in problems with "every single department" during production, causing producer Ben Feldman and actress Lauren Ash to have a session "to test every kind of mask". ^[23] At one point, face shields were considered but were rejected due to reflections that appeared on cameras. After watching a rough cut of episode 4, writer Owen Ellickson said that the presence of masks felt "brutal" to watch onscreen. ^[23]

After filming nine episodes by November 25, the show's crew was informed that the sixth season would be the last for Superstore, ^{[24] [25]} with the official announcement being released on December 3, 2020. ^{[26] [27]} After being in production for several months, the table read for the final episode occurred over Zoom on February 19, 2021, and filming concluded later in the week on February 28; ^{[28] [29]} the final scene shot for the series involved the main characters watching their job interviews, and the crew put together a compilation video of highlights and outtakes in lieu of a traditional wrap party. ^[30] Soon after, NBC revealed that Superstore would conclude on March 25, 2021, with a one-hour series finale, and that Ferrera would return in the final episode. ^{[31] [20]} On the decision to bring Ferrera back to the series, Superstore creator Justin Spitzer told Deadline Hollywood that "It was the first question we asked ourselves. As soon as we were told that the show was ending, we called her [...] and she was immediately on board. It just felt the series finale would not have felt like the end without her. We knew we wanted her to come back to the end of this." ^[30]

Release and reception

Broadcast

Following its renewal, on September 24, 2020, NBC announced that the sixth season of Superstore would begin airing on October 29, 2020, a change from its original scheduled October 22 premiere. ^[32] Furthermore, its first five episodes aired on Thursdays at 8:00 pm (Eastern), before airing at 8:30 pm from the sixth episode on January 14, 2021. ^[33]

Critical response

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the sixth season of Superstore holds an approval rating of 92% based on 12 reviews, with an average rating of 9.75/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "As funny and poignant as ever, Superstore closes up shop with a superb sixth season that solidifies its place as one of TVs greatest workplace comedies." ^[34]

In Entertainment Weekly , Darren Franich said that the season premiere was "instant history with big laughs", as it covered major events that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic in a humorous way, and called it "a high for the series." ^[35] Writing for The Verge , Joshua Rivera also complimented the episode, and the start of the season, for being able to tackle the pandemic in a humorous way. ^[36] From Slate , Rebecca Onion simply called the premiere a "time capsule of pandemic humor", ^[37] while The Sydney Morning Herald 's Brad Newsome described the sixth season of Superstore as a "challenging comedy that's still clever enough to raise a chuckle". ^[38]

Further reviews after the conclusion of the series with the airing of its one-hour finale were also positive. Ben Travers, from IndieWire , wrote that the series as a whole was not "short on ideas", comparing it the overall premise of The Office . ^[39] Writing for The A.V. Club , Saloni Gajjar stated that the series finale was able to provide "sweet closure" along with "some hopeful happy endings for all its central characters". ^[40] Lauding the season and the show as a whole for its characters, Kelly Lawler from USA Today said Superstore was unsuccessful in gaining popularity among shows such as Parks and Recreation and Community , writing that "We probably won't miss the store, but we'll miss its employees dearly." ^[41] Vulture journalist Kovie Biakolo praised the series for its representation of the working class without reducing their characters to simply those traits, summarizing the season as being able to "exhibit a genuine picture of working-class life: wide-ranging, nuanced, and always meeting at a myriad of intersections." ^[42]
