The Krusty Krab

Plot

Jim, the original fry cook visits the Krusty Krab, making Mr. Krabs pay more attention to him than SpongeBob depressed. Back then, the Krusty Krab had class and everything was great, even for Squidward (he had hair!). SpongeBob asks Jim if he would train him to be just as good as a fry cook as Jim. So Jim tries to train SpongeBob, but he did not do well. Jim then continues to get more attention because he missed.

So SpongeBob writes a resignation to Mr. Krabs because he thinks that Jim is taking SpongeBob's job back. But before he leaves, Jim sadly decides to tell SpongeBob the reason why he left The Krusty Krab. He left because Mr. Krabs refused to give him a raise because when he asked Mr. Krabs for one, he just laughed at it to be a joke which angered Jim. Jim then also says he's only there to visit, not take SpongeBob's job. He congradulates Mr. Krabs for finding a good fry cook. Jim gives SpongeBob good luck and says he'll be better when he quits, and Jim leaves, and SpongeBob was happy and went back to fry cooking.

When SpongeBob puts heart shaped ketchup on the patty, it changes view when Squidward is talking, the heart is not filled, it's outlined.
When Mr. Krabs says "Well I'll be cooked in butter!", this is a reference to when in Wishing You Well where Mr. Krabs wishes to be 'steamed and served with a side of melted butter'.
The music playing in the background after Spongebob eats the Jim Patty is the same music from the episode Ghost Host when Spongebob plays the video that he calls "A journey in to self-awareness".

Jim surpose to throw away the mess up patties in the garbage can instead of throwing into the toliet.
