This article is about the interaction between Patrick & Mr. Krabs.
Overview
Patrick, in his esteem of eating, likes to eat Krabby Patties, which in several cases, benefits Mr. Krabs. Patrick is one the restaurant's number-one customers from such cases.

Episodes as enemies

SpongeBob & Patrick reassure him that they found it together, demanding a share and they fought until they woke the Flying Dutchman. As the Dutchman rewarded them 2 gold dubbloons, Krabs demands a reward too, receiving a plastic treasure chest.
- Hooky: Even after Krabs told them to never go on these hooks, Patrick had his fingers crossed & told SpongeBob that Krabs is a big dummy, stating that playing on the hooks never got them injured & decided to continue. This got him in a tuna can at the end of the episode.
- Sailor Mouth: Upon hearing the 2 for saying bad word #11, Krabs scolds them about it & tells them not to do it again. But once they end up doing so, Krabs punishes them by making them paint from top to bottom. Unfortunately, after tripping his foot on a rock, he uses all 13 bad words. SpongeBob & Patrick then decide to snitch on Krabs to his mom, despite his pleas that she couldn;t take that kind of pressure. Eventually, the pressure makes Mama Krabs faint, making Krabs scold at them for doing so, but gets punished with them by Mama Krabs.
- Wet Painters: Krabs made SpongeBob & Patrick paint his house white & if any of the irremovable paint is on his protraited dollar, he'll mount their rear ends on his firesides, scaring them. However, in the end, the paint is removable by saliva & Krabs told them that he was messing with them & laughs. SpongeBob & Patrick leave in a betrayed notion out of his house & the excess laughter made the paint spill down, to Krabs' dismay.
- Pranks a Lot: SpongeBob & Patrick, still invisible, try to haunt Mr. Krabs so they would have haunted everyone else in Bikini Bottom. Krabs at first was unfazed by this, but they managed to pressure him into being scared, gluing the doors shut, replacing the glass with rubber, & clogging the toilets. But once they tried to scorch his dollar, Krabs doused the fire, revealing SpongeBob & Patrick. While Krabs claimed it was okay, he manages to prank them in retaliation, revealing their nudity to everyone they pranked, embarrasing them.
- That's No Lady: After seeing Patrick as Patricia, Krabs gains a crush on him & does several dating offers. Eventually, Patrick becomes bothered, stating that these two were this nice to him as his actual self. Krabs and Squidward then continue offering him to where he says "no". Eventually after SpongeBob mentions that Patricia is Patrick, the 2 become disgusted. As Patrick took his disguise off, Krabs fired him in slight scarred horror.
- Pat No Pay: After hearing that Patrick has no money to pay for a lot of Krabby Patties, Krabs then puts Patrick on labor. As Patrick kept on screwing up, Krabs then makes him throw garbage down & threatens him that he'll never get another Krabby Patty again if he screws that up. Patrick then works hard with SpongeBob's help, but misinterpreting Mr. Krabs money bag as another garbage bag, he throws it down, clogging the shredder. Krabs checks up on Patrick, but the Krusty Krab is destroyed, his money is finally decimated in the intact disposal, & he gets angered by the dollar shreds. Patrick then asks if he can eat now.
- No Hat for Pat: Patrick begs Mr. Krabs to hire him so he can get a hat. Krabs reluctantly agrees right after seeing him fall which amused customers. After Krabs gave him his hat, Patrick keeps falling. Eventually, SpongeBob becomes worried about this. During the climax, Krabs then increases the level of injury to Patrick to a diving board with a bucket of sea urchins. As Patrick tries to dive with his hat off, Krabs complains to Patrick about this. However, in the end, Patrick realizes that the hat makes him top-heavy, and with only Squidward injured, the customers assault Mr. Krabs for a refund (even to the point of taking his hat & clothes off). Krabs then harshly fires Patrick, stating that as long as he's still around, he'll never let him wear this hat.
