It's pretty funny, up until the scene where Squidward viciously pranks SpongeBob, to everyone else's disgust. And it wasn't even his fault to begin with. SpongeBob fell apart not only from getting fired, but the fact that it took no more than 30 seconds for the very consequence he was determined to avoid at all costs to still happen anyway. Mind you, SpongeBob cares for his job and the Krusty Krab itself a LOT, enough that he'd prioritize it even over one of his favorite hobbies, no matter how much he doesn't want to.Krabs: What did I just get through telling ye, lad? Sandy: I'm not falling for it, SpongeBob! SpongeBob: No more Karate? How am I gonna tell Sandy? Being so loyal to his job, his breakdown can be seen as him blaming himself for messing things up. Krabs for not satisfying the customer, failing Squidward for dragging him all that way for nothing, failing the customer for not fulfilling his order, and himself for not succeeding. From SpongeBob's perspective, he feels like he completely failed everyone, failing Mr.
SpongeBob nonetheless remains resilient and enthusiastic about serving this guy the entire arduous journey, assured the customer is always right, only to get torn apart with another ridiculous demand when he finally makes it.
What's even worse is, in real life, a customer could display even WORSE behavior than above, particularly one that even involves physical violence, yet you'll STILL be expected to take full responsibility for it anyway.The moment that door was slammed, it was instantly established that he's the absolute most incompetent delivery guy in the ocean and that customer had every goddamn right to yell at him 1000%, and that if he knew what was right and he truly valued his job at the Krusty Krab, he'd acknowledge all that without question, drop his massive victim mentality, go apologize to him personally for blatantly obliterating the trust he once had towards the establishment and promise to work on being a better delivery guy and NEVER EVER piss him off like that again, rather than crying like a worthless baby and playing the victim, lest he does something even worse to him, which he'll also have every goddamn right to do. He could've just calmly tell him that he'll compensate for his apparent failure by going back and returning with his drink as he asked for, even offer a discount on the final price as well for added measure. SpongeBob never even got the chance to explain and defuse the situation himself.It's no different than yelling at the mailman for giving you a hate letter, you know, which someone else wrote. Krabs who received his order in the first place and didn't even bother to confirm it before hanging up, SpongeBob was just delivering it. Assuming the customer truly DID order a drink to go along with his pizza, it was Mr. It wasn't even SpongeBob's fault to begin with.It's not always retail jobs, it could even happen within your family, such as a parent absolutely shredding a child apart over a petty mistake.
Fortunately, Squidward marches to the door, and slams the pizza in the asshole's face.Sponge.? (SpongeBob collapses facefirst to the ground and sobs inconsolably) Sponge.? (SpongeBob keeps sobbing) Squidward: (After the customer slams the door in SpongeBob's face, weakly) Sponge.? Sponge? I-It's okay.
