It is a normal day at the Krusty Krab where Old Man Jenkins is making an order until Jim, the Original Krusty Krab Fry Cook, arrives in his golden limousine. Old Man Jenkins, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward remember back when the Krusty Krab had “class.” Squidward had long hair and Jim was the fry cook. Jim makes a Krabby Patty and SpongeBob eats it and loves it. He wants to cook like Jim, and Jim says not to step on the patty, since the customers run over a Krabby Patty made by SpongeBob when headed to greet Jim.

He then gives SpongeBob real lessons. But SpongeBob cannot meet Jim’s standards. So SpongeBob decides to resign and give his job to Jim. Jim tells SpongeBob he quit because Mr. Krabs laughed at him when he asked for a raise. Mr. Krabs reveals that SpongeBob has one thing Jim does not have: he is cheap! Jim tells SpongeBob that he could be an even greater frycook, but only if he leaves the Krusty Krab which he calls a dump. SpongeBob says that the restaurant is not a dump. Mr. Krabs says it is a dump, but it’s his dump as the episode ends.
