Plot

Squidward is waiting for the Krusty Krab to close even though the day hasn't even started. SpongeBob keeps ringing the bell and it's starting to annoy Squidward. Squidward tells SpongeBob that he'll ring the bell when there's an order but says there won't be an order because there aren't any customers. Then he knocks over the cash register and all of the money spills out. Mr. Krabs hears the sound of money, and comes storming out of his office. Mr. Krabs picks all the coins up and starts rinsing them under the tap. When SpongeBob surprises him, he drops a dime down the drain. Mr. Krabs sticks his claw in the pipe to catch the dime and he grabs hold of it, but his hand is stuck. He won't let go so he has SpongeBob pull on his backside. They pull too hard and Mr. Krabs loses his arms and smacks on the wall, causing all of the items on a shelf to fall onto his head.

He gets taken away to the hospital, leaving Squidward in charge. Squidward decides to take the day off and leave SpongeBob in charge of the grill and the cash register. As he's walking home, he remembers that he forgot to tell SpongeBob how to make change and that he could bankrupt the Establishment. He goes to the Krusty Krab to test SpongeBob's ability to make change (for a dollar, in this case). SpongeBob passes the test.

Squidward goes back home and tries to relax again. Then he envisions SpongeBob setting the Krusty Krab on fire, so he rushes to the Krusty Krab and it's fine. Squidward then goes back home saying he won't go back to the Krusty Krab again. Then you see him rushing back and forth from his house to the Krusty Krab. He finally goes back home and barricades and locks his door so he can't get out. That's when he finally cracks. While trying to have a bath, Squidward thinks he hears SpongeBob but it's just a branch scratching against his house, outside. He thinks that he sees SpongeBob outside of the shower curtain but it's just his toilet. Then he sees SpongeBob in the bath and escaping down the drain. Squidward bursts out of the house naked, and when he finally arrives at the Krusty Krab, SpongeBob's already there... he never left. SpongeBob gives Squidward his pants because he's naked, then tells Squidward that they never switched the closed sign to open and they "could have taken the whole day off!"

Trivia/Goofs

  • When Squidward runs past Mr. Krabs naked at the hospital, the sign above reads "Eneerency" instead of "Emergency".
  • The ways SpongeBob mentions to make change for a dollar are:
    • Four quarters
    • Ten dimes
    • Twenty nickels
    • One hundred pennies
    • One quarter, three dimes, seven nickels and ten pennies
  • The price for Coral Bits is $1.05, as shown on the Galley Grub, but in "Clams", the coral bits only cost $1.00.
  • Near the beginning of the episode, Spongebob mistakes the cash register for the bell signaling an order. He immediatly shouts 'One Krabby Patty coming right up'. Since Squidward didn't specify that anything was ordered, how did Spongebob know he was to cook a Krabby Patty?
  • In some of the scenes where Squidward runs towards the Krusty Krab, the five flags on the Krusty Krab have disappeared.
  • Squidward has eight tentacles when he dives underwater, but he actually has six tentacles.
  • In other episodes, the Krusty Krab is closed on Sundays.
  • This episode features a continuous vericatan.
  • When Mr. Krabs loses his arms, SpongeBob says "Oh no! Not again!" This indicates that Mr. Krabs has lost his arms before.
  • When the doctor says "Whenever things don't seem right come back" to Mr. Krabs Squidward comes running naked Mr. Krabs' arms fall out he goes back to the hospital.
  • When Squidward is running to and atthe Krusty Krab naked, bubbles are covering his groin area, and the screen cuts away when the last bubble pops. However, Squidward's groin area is always exposed, as he doesn't wear pants.
  • Squidward says, "Look at yourself. You're losing your bluish glow." In fact, in the bathtub scene, Squidward is a duller blue than he was in the beginning of the episode.
