Pinch-o-Matic
The Pinch-o-Matic is a machine in the Krusty Krab that was built by Mr. Krabs. It appears in the episode Born Again Krabs. If someone puts rubbish into it, Mr. Krabs runs into the kitchen to check how much money he got.
[edit] Looks
The Pinch-o-Matic is attached to the wall where the kitchen's trash bin is. It consists of a steel rectangle with a speaker hole, through which the machine speaks to Mr. Krabs in a robotic voice, and a light surrounded by four "pipes". The Pinch-o-Matic also has a fishing hook on a string that descends into the trash bin when rubbish is put into it and rises back up with the rubbish. The light blinks red when the Pinch-o-Matic's hook descends into and ascends from the trash bin.
[edit] Quotes
SpongeBob: Huh? (notices an old and black patty under the grill) It's a Krabby Patty. (tries to pick it up but it's stuck to some gum) Eww...it's cold and hard. (takes the patty out from under the grill) This could have rolled under there years ago. (pats it on the head) There, there, little one, your journey is almost over. (throws the patty in the trash. A siren goes off as a fishing line retrieves the patty)
Mr. Krabs: (runs in) What happened? (gasps then runs up to the trash can) Somebody tried to throw away a patty! (takes it off the hook)
Pinch-o-Matic: Pinch-o-Matic has saved you 5.2 cents.
SpongeBob: But Mr. Krabs, I found that under the grill.
Mr. Krabs: And tomorrow a customer will find it under his bun. (hands it to SpongeBob)
SpongeBob: But it's old and cold and so very full of mold.
Mr Krabs: You're not to make another patty until that one is sold. Understand? (time card appears)
