Taxman Krabs

Chapter 1: Revenue Down

Poor Eugene Krabs was indeed going through last year's taxes which he knew this coming year's taxes was going to be quite heavy on his business. A certain Spongebob Squarepants was calmly heading into his office to see what was the matter with his boss.

"Sir, you've been in your office for quite awhile, practically the entire day" said Spongebob.

"Look at how much the government is demanding me in taxes!" cried Mr. Krabs as he showed his employee the bill, "I offer so much for Bikini Bottom and how do they pay in return? By demanding me to owe them more money!"

"We can always increase sales you like that" said Spongebob.

"No, this time I think we're going to become Tax People!" continued Mr. Krabs.

"But I don't know a thing about accounting" said Spongebob.

"Don't worry you can leave everything to be, because we're going to get more revenue!" laughed Mr. Krabs.

Soon enough the Krusty Krabs after a few days had turned itself into a chapter for Bikini Bottom's tax collector for the local Bikini Bottom government.

"I just cannot believe he's doing this!" cried Squidward, "Making us do accounting and serving customers?"

"Oh come on Squidward, Mr. Krabs is thinking out of the box here" laughed Spongebob.

"He's lost his marbles" replied Squidward.

"Oh come on Squidward this will be fun" said Spongebob.

"Nothing is ever fun when Mr. Krabs screws everything up" said Squidward.

"Squidward, I'll pretend I didn't hear that and will move on with my day but you should give this a chance" said Spongebob.

As Spongebob went off on his day, Mr. Krabs who was busy in his office doing some more calculations was indeed receiving more revenue from the customers as they were handing him over their taxes that they owed that they thought were giving to the Bikini Bottom government.

"It's nice that I finally am on the side of the government getting the taxes that are justly deserved" laughed Mr. Krabs.

But as Mr. Krabs continued his job, he made things more expensive for the customers at the Krusty Krab whom some of them were fleeing toward the Cum Bucket.

"This is too much for us" said a customer, "I'm going over to the Cum Bucket."

"What, you can't do that!" cried Mr. Krabs who came barging right out of his office.

"And why not?" asked another customer.

"Because if you do, I'll charge you a tax if you go to the Cum Bucket" continued Mr. Krabs, "about fifty bucks if you leave my restaurant to go to the Cum Bucket!"

A few of the customers were indeed scared into supporting Mr. Krabs and continued to dine at the Krusty Krabs, while others paid the fifty dollars in tax toward him anyway just so they could leave.

"Uh, Mr. Krabs, sir this doesn't seem right" said Spongebob.

"Ha, we're the government now Spongebob me boy" continued Mr. Krabs as he was flipping through the fifty dollar bills that were given him, "instead of just taxing my customers, why don't I make you and Squidward my chief tax collectors for the rest of the town of Bikini Bottom?"

"Gee, I don't know" said Spongebob.

"I'll give you a raise if you do a good job in collecting enough revenue" said Mr. Krabs.

As both Spongebob and Squidward were gathered to become tax collectors, Mr. Krabs gave them a map of the area, as they were heading out to do some tax collecting, Plankton was observing the two as he noticed an influx of customers from the Krusty Krab to his restaurant because of Mr. Krabs' zealotry in over taxation of his own customers.

"Look at that fool overtaxing his own customers and make them coming to me" said Plankton, "if he keeps this up, he'll be going out of business!"

"I'm not so sure" said Karen, "Krabs is getting pretty crafty."

"Well I'm going to spy on those two, if Krabs has become in cahoots with the Bikini Bottom government in becoming a tax collector, I want to get the right dirt on Krabs and his so-called tax collectors, then the Bikini Bottom government would be more respectful toward me" said Plankton.

"Well, just be careful out there" said Karen, "I'll watch any of these customers for you."

"Thanks appreciate it" said Plankton as he headed out.

As Plankton headed out to spy on Spongebob and Squidward, Mr. Krabs had already given a list of taxes he needed to be collected from the people of Bikini Bottom which were going to typically head back toward the Krusty Krab instead.

"You sure what Mr. Krabs is doing is even legal?" asked Squidward.

"Oh come on Squidward he's just thinking out of the box that's all" said Spongebob.

"I don't know if we're even supposed to be responsible for doing something like this" continued Squidward.

"Come on, what could possibly go wrong?" continued Spongebob.

"Lots of things, trust me" sighed Squidward.

"You're being a worry wart" laughed Spongebob.

Squidward was right to be suspicious about Mr. Krabs, as the two were heading down the first block, Squidward had an uneasy feeling that something was going to go wrong.
