in the first episode. She will occasionally make appearances in the background. Lionel (William Bolz) – A weird employee in Empire Market who always says that customers "save a lot". In one of the episodes he asks Chad if anything is faster than the speed of light (referencing Star Wars spaceships). He brings his dog into the store in episode 4, but refuses to search for him when he runs off, saying "I'm not supposed to leave the cash register".
