Gene Scallop

One day at the Krusty Krab, Squidward noticed that SpongeBob was not filling orders, so when he went to investigate, he discovered that SpongeBob had one Mr. Krabs described as the "1,000 YARD STARE" and they both discovered a Calendar in his hat that had the Date of that day circled and that a Food critic was coming for a visit, so Mr. Krabs, and SpongeBob were both in shock as The Critic, Gene Scallop walked in the doors, as he was having his first glimpse of the Restaurant, Squidward rudely asked if he was coming in or out, and drove him away with other rude comments, Mr. Krabs stopped him and Served him a Krabby Patty, he took one bite and Left the Resteraunt in a hurry, Mr. Krabs lost hope. SpongeBob, Krabs and Squidward watched as the Critic gave his Review on the KK, only to soil it, as the Customers heard the Review they began to leave in displeasure, but Gene then Said that the Krusty krab was a big success because of the Krabby patty, and he said that SpongeBob was no square when it came to cooking, ending with a Good review, the customers came back pleased and Prepared to eat. The next day SpongeBob came to see that there was a new sign at the Krusty Krab, reading the Krusty Sponge, he also found a long line, and Squidward in a SpongeBob costume as the Krusty Sponge's Mascot. SpongeBob found that his new job was to run a Train outside the krusty krab, which Mr. Krabs was charging people to ride it, SpongeBob was the driver, after he was out of energy from driving, Nat, and Sally where displeased with the results of their ride, and ordered a riot with SpongeBob, he then ran to find Mr. Krabs had gotten all kinds of new Products, customized to be like SpongeBob, he also discovered that the New Spongy patties that were supposed to be a meal (Actually tainted meat) was making people sick, and Krabs was ordered to court by one of the Customers which were actually a FBI agent. Krab was about to go to prison, when he made a deal with the Judge, whom was a huge SpongeBob fan, he ordered Squidward to drive the Judge around and around on the Train, and he did not go to prison, while SpongeBob happily worked back in his regular post, the Krusty Krab was back to normal.
