Plot

This episode consists of the content shown on the Krusty Krab' training video for new employees. The tape talks about the history of the restaurant, from its founding to the present day. The tape also gives instructions on how to keep the workplace clean, and how to have good hygiene. In this version of the tape, SpongeBob is desperate to make a Krabby Patty for the tape(as he wants to show himself off to the viewers), and asks to do so many times, each time being told no. At the episode's end, the moment SpongeBob has been waiting for arrives, but the episode ends just before the narrator reveals the Krabby Patty secret formula for the new employees:

First, let's say that SpongeBob is the good employee of the Krusty Krab, and Squidward the bad employee of the Krusty Krab. A long time ago, it shows that Mr. Krabs faced a war during his early adulthood, and his life didn't have a good start, but somehow established a retirement home called the Rusty Rab. Later, the Krabby Patty formula was made, and Mr. Krabs turned it into a restaurant called the Krusty Krab. First, you must know the acronym POOP: People Order Our Poop. In Personal Hygiene, the SpongeBob example is to always wash your hands so squeaky and clean that they become invisible. For the toilets, the Squidward example is sleeping inside the toilet. (and remember, no employee wants to be a Squidward!). Also, the SpongeBob Example of your work station is always clean it, have it in good shape, bless your workstation, and always put the ingredients in alphabetical order. The Squidward example is having the ordering station very filthy and messing up with the work station.

Next, customers must always order a Krabby Patty, and now Patrick is a example for the video. The Squidward Example is being very furious to the customer, yell at him, call him ``don't be stupid somewhere else!, and become very impatient with the customer, growling very angrily. Next, it is the Emergency Situation: always look sharp at Plankton. The SpongeBob Example is running around the restaurant and not catching Plankton. The Mr. Krabs example is to catch Plankton and throw him back to the Chum Bucket. Next, we see that Squidward follows the Narrator to give Patrick a suggestion, but gets stuck again when he says ``for here or to go?. Next, the greatest lesson in the training video is the Krabby Patty formula discussion: and then it is about to be revealed, but the ending is cut off, and we never know.

Cultural References

The sign in the bathroom written in English ("Please, wash your fins") and Spanish ("Lave las aletas") is a parody of other similar signs found in companies like Wal-Mart. The Spanish part of the sign is not a totally correct translation because it literally says "Wash the fins". A more polite translation of "Please, wash your fins" is "Por favor, lávese las aletas."
The music for the title card is similar to that of the theme from Nickelodeon SNICK.

Trivia/Goofs

Mr. Krabs sings "Blow the Man Down" in this episode but in la's.
A lot of the viewers, when they watched this episode at first, thought that this was set when SpongeBob was hired and he is being told how to work at the Krusty Krab. The actual plot is, Mr. Krabs has filmed a training video for future employees and SpongeBob is actually showing the viewers how to do it to show off. The narrator praises him, so the viewers know this is correct.
Poop stands for "People Order Our Patties." The Spanish version is CACA, which stands for "Clientes Adoran Comer Aquí." Those words mean "Customers love eating here", "caca" is a slang term for feces in Spanish.
At the end of the episode, it is sometimes mistaken after the end credits that it is credited to have been animated by Spiffy Pictures, Little Airplane Productions, Billifords, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Animation, and Klasky Csupo (with logos shown) instead of United Plankton Pictures when it is broadcast on Nickelodeon. This was corrected in 2006, when United Plankton Pictures is now listed as the producers of this episode. The reason the incorrect logos were inserted is that the show's closing credits were electronically inserted alongside promos for other Nickelodeon programming, followed by the show's closing logos, which were also electronically inserted. When the data was entered for this episode, the wrong logo was programmed in.
In this episode is a little "Eye of the Tiger"
One time when this episode aired, the narrator said it must never be discussed, and SpongeBob falls down.
